Study Summary

This trial is testing whether targeted therapy based on a tumor's genetic profile is more effective than standard treatment for metastatic cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with metastatic cancer who have tried standard treatments or decided not to use them. They should be relatively healthy, able to perform daily activities (ECOG 0-1), and have tumors that can be measured or biopsied. Women of childbearing age and men must agree to contraception during the study. Patients with stable brain metastasis off steroids for two weeks are eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares targeted therapy chosen based on genetic differences in a patient's tumor against standard cancer treatment. It aims to determine if personalized medicine, using information about the tumor's molecular profile, is more effective than traditional approaches not tailored to genetic changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects depend on the specific targeted therapies used but may include allergic reactions, fatigue, nausea, liver issues, blood cell count changes affecting immunity and clotting, kidney function alterations, and potential interference with normal bowel absorption.
