Biorepository for Cancer Research
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial focuses on collecting and storing biological samples, such as blood or tissue, to aid researchers in studying precision medicine. Precision medicine tailors medical treatment to individual characteristics, enhancing patient care. By participating, individuals contribute to research that may lead to better, more personalized treatments in the future. Those who are 18 or older and can provide informed consent are suitable for this trial. As an unphased trial, participants have the unique opportunity to contribute to foundational research that could significantly advance personalized medicine.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Caris Biorepository Research Protocol because it aims to collect and analyze biological specimens in a way that could unlock new insights into various diseases. Unlike other treatments that focus on addressing symptoms or specific conditions, this protocol emphasizes understanding the underlying biological factors and genetic markers that contribute to disease development and progression. By gathering and studying these specimens, scientists hope to identify new targets for drug development and personalize treatment strategies, potentially leading to more effective and tailored healthcare solutions in the future.
