Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for Canadian cancer patients with rare changes in their tumors. Participants will help researchers learn how these changes affect treatment and outcomes.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am at least 18 years old when diagnosed with cancer.
I have been diagnosed with malignant tumors.
Molecular testing has found rare changes in my tumors.
I have reports to confirm my molecular changes.
I am a Canadian resident receiving or planning to receive cancer care in Canada.
You may not be able to join if
I refused to participate in this study before I died.
I cannot provide informed consent.

This study will collect data on Canadian cancer patients that have uncommon/rare changes in their tumours, such as alterations/rearrangements in the genetic material inside cells - known as deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which acts as a map and gives directions to the cells on how to make other substances the body needs - because some of these changes have been found to respond to different drugs …
This study will collect data on Canadian cancer patients that have uncommon/rare changes in their tumours, such as alterations/rearrangements in the genetic material inside cells - known as deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which acts as a map and gives directions to the cells on how to make other substances the body needs - because some of these changes have been found to respond to different drugs that help to stop the cancer. These rare changes occur in genes such as but not limited to ALK, EGFR, ROS1, BRAF, and NTRK which have targeted drugs in a family known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), and KRAS G12C mutation, which now has a targeted inhibitor drug therapy for patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goals for the study are to compare the natural history of such cancers and the treatment outcomes, including toxicities and patient-reported outcomes, for the different therapies.
