- "This study will collect de-identified tumor samples, with correlated clinical/demographic data and tissue histology, from patients selected or scheduled for pre-treatment tumor biopsy or who have had a recent pre-treatment tumor biopsy."
- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
- Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.
About this study
In plain language
This study collects tumor samples and health information with personal details removed. The samples may help researchers develop and check a future test for cancer. It is for adults with certain cancers who have had or will have a tumor biopsy before treatment and have received or will receive certain immune treatments.
This study will collect de-identified tumor samples, with correlated clinical/demographic data and tissue histology, from patients selected or scheduled for pre-treatment tumor biopsy or who have had a recent pre-treatment tumor biopsy. These specimens and clinical data may be used in subsequent studies for the development and validation of a diagnostic test.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have one of these cancers: squamous cell cancer of the head and neck or esophagus; small cell or non-small-cell lung cancer; urothelial cancer (in the urinary tract lining); adenocarcinoma of the stomach or where it joins the food pipe; cervical cancer; triple-negative breast cancer; hepatocellular cancer (in the liver); renal cell cancer (in the kidney); or colon or rectal cancer.
- Have received or be scheduled to receive at least one dose of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer.
- Have had or will have a tumor biopsy (removal of a tissue sample) before starting that immune treatment.
- Have had or will have scans of the tumor, such as CT or MRI, before starting that immune treatment.
- Be willing to give electronic informed consent, meaning you understand the study and agree to join.
- Be able to speak, read, and understand English well.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have enough tumor tissue available for the study.
Who can't join
- Cannot or do not want to give informed consent.
- Do not have one of the cancer types listed above.
- Have already taken part in this study.
