AI-Summary

What this Trial Is About

This study performs standardized testing of tumor tissue samples to learn which genes are mutated (have changed) in order to provide personalized cancer therapy options to cancer patients at MD Anderson. This may help doctors use testing information on tumors to identify clinical trials that may be most relevant to patients. Researchers may also use the information learned from this study to develop a database of the different kinds of mutations in cancer-related genes.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligible

You may qualify if you...

  • Patients must have histologically, radiographic, or cytologically documented cancer, suspected glioma, sarcoma, melanoma or hematologic cancer. Patients with benign tumors may also be consented if molecular profiling may have clinical implications.
  • Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Patients may be consented without confirming tissue availability, but research testing requires sufficient archived or residual tissue in authorized MD Anderson tissue banks.
  • Circulating cell-free DNA next generation sequencing testing will be performed for select patients being considered for enrollment into clinical trials in the next two lines of therapy.
Not Eligible

You will not qualify if you...

History of severe allergic reactions to study medication Currently pregnant or breastfeeding Recent participation in another clinical trial within the last 30 days Presence of uncontrolled medical conditions that could affect safety
