Precision Medicine for Cancer
(MOHCCN-O Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial focuses on improving cancer treatments by examining how individual differences in DNA, environment, and lifestyle affect treatment outcomes. The researchers aim to advance precision medicine, tailoring treatments to each patient's unique cancer profile. Individuals with confirmed blood or solid tumor cancers who can provide necessary health data and samples may be suitable candidates. Participants will contribute valuable information that could lead to breakthroughs in cancer care. As a Phase 3 trial, this treatment is in the final step before FDA approval, offering participants the opportunity to contribute to a potentially groundbreaking cancer therapy.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network because it aims to revolutionize cancer treatment by using precision medicine techniques. Unlike standard cancer treatments that often take a one-size-fits-all approach, this initiative uses advanced genomic profiling to tailor therapies specifically to the genetic makeup of an individual's cancer. This personalized approach has the potential to increase treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects, offering hope for better outcomes. Researchers are eager to uncover how this method can transform cancer care and improve patient survival rates.
