Genotyping of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Patients for Precision Medicine Clinical Trials

Conditions
Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03350412
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione del Piemonte per l'Oncologia
Brief Summary

The goal of delivering the right drug to the right cancer patient (precision medicine) requires a detailed understanding of how genomic alterations are linked to drug response. The purpose of this study is to intercept at point-of-care a large cohort of newly diagnosed mCRC patients to determine if it is possible to obtain personalized genetic information from each subject's tumor (tissue and blood) to triage treatment choices. In case of target positivity, patients will be conveyed, whenever possible, to self-standing, independent, hypothesis-driven POC trials as soon as they exhibit resistance to standard of care treatment.
