Fast whole genome sequencing for childhood cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a rapid type of genetic testing (whole genome sequencing) to look at the DNA of children and young adults with cancer. The goal is to better understand each person's cancer and potentially guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child is under 25 years old
- You have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have cancer
- You can provide a sample of your tumor and a blood or saliva sample for genetic testing
- If you are one of the first 10 participants, you must have a blood cancer like leukemia or lymphoma

This study looks at whole genome sequencing (a complete read of your DNA) from children and young people with cancer. It aims to learn more about cancer and how it might be treated.
This trial studies how personalized (tailored) genetic testing can help guide care for children with cancer. It may help match treatment choices to each child’s genetic risk, and it includes optional return of germline (inherited) test results.
This study offers whole-genome testing (a way to read a person’s DNA) to families after a child is newly diagnosed with cancer. It aims to find inherited changes that may explain why cancer happened and guide future care or monitoring.
This study quickly reads a child’s DNA using whole genome sequencing to look for genetic causes of symptoms. It may help families and doctors better understand an underlying genetic condition and guide medical care.
This trial studies the genetic makeup of your tumor to find personalized treatment options, especially if standard treatments have not worked. It aims to match you with experimental treatments that target your cancer's specific changes.
This study looks at how genetic testing can help tailor cancer treatment for children and young adults. It is for patients newly diagnosed with cancer or those preparing for a bone marrow transplant for a non-cancer condition.
