NCI-COG Pediatric MATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) Screening Protocol

Investigation of Genetic Testing-Directed Treatment for Pediatric Tumors

Recruiting
1-21 years
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates how well treatment directed by genetic testing works in children with certain cancers like solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders. These are conditions where cells grow uncontrollably in different parts of the body. The study aims to find out if specific changes in genes can be targeted with certain cancer-fighting drugs.

Participants will undergo genetic testing to identify any gene changes that can be targeted with specific treatments. This involves using data from medical tests to see if the tumors have specific gene alterations that can be treated with pathway-targeting agents. These agents are drugs designed to interfere with the pathways that cancer cells use to grow.

  • Who can participate: Children with recurrent or hard-to-treat solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders can join. They must have a sample of their tumor available for testing and meet certain health criteria.
  • Study details: Participants will have genetic testing to see if their cancer has specific gene changes. They may receive a treatment that targets these changes if eligible. A placebo, which is a substance that looks like the treatment but has no active ingredients, is not used in this study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
