Study Summary

This trial uses genomic testing to direct cancer treatment. Patients with cancer that has progressed after standard treatment or for which there is no agreed-upon treatment may benefit.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma that have worsened after standard treatment or lack a consensus treatment. Participants must be finished with previous treatments and recovered from their effects, not expect to conceive children, have an ECOG status of <=1 indicating they are relatively active, and meet specific health criteria including heart function and blood tests.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The MATCH trial is testing whether targeting therapy based on genetic abnormalities in the tumor cells can benefit patients whose cancer has progressed. It involves genetic testing to identify mutations or changes in the tumor's DNA and then matching patients with therapies specifically designed to target those genetic features.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects depend on the targeted therapy given but may include skin reactions, digestive issues, fatigue, liver problems, heart complications like QTc prolongation (a type of irregular heartbeat), allergic reactions to medication components, increased risk of infection due to immune system impact.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

Well I had a cancerous tumor removed June 2022, and received 6 rounds of chemo between August and November, stage 3a. But in January the CT scan was clear and the genetic blood test was clear and so I was cancer free. However in May of this a prostate biopsy was done and have fairly advanced cancer that has likely spread outside of the prostate. I have appointments with oncology and urology in the next couple of weeks to hopefully begin to get some clarification on what treatment they want to recommend.
