Collection of Blood From Patients With Cancer, Other Tumors, or Tumor Predisposition Syndromes for Genetic Analysis

Collection of Blood From Therapeutic Trial Participants for Analysis of Genetic Differences in Drug Disposition and Pharmacokinetics of Probe Medications


Sponsor

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Enrollment

1,100 participants

Start Date

May 21, 2012

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Background: \- Some genes may be associated with a greater chance of side effects during cancer treatment. These genes may also make certain treatments less effective. Researchers want to collect blood or cheek swab samples from people having cancer treatment to study these genes. Objectives: \- To obtain a blood or cheek swab sample to study genetic differences that may affect cancer treatment. Eligibility: \- Individuals with cancer who are being treated at the National Cancer Institute. Design: * Participants will provide a blood sample for study. * Participants who have blood-based cancer, such as leukemia, will provide a cheek swab sample. * If the blood or cheek swab sample does not have enough genetic material for analysis, an additional sample may be collected.


Eligibility

Min Age: 3 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects blood samples from people with cancer, non-cancerous tumors, or inherited conditions that increase cancer risk, to analyze genes and help researchers better understand how these conditions develop. **You may be eligible if...** - You are currently enrolled in an NIH (National Institutes of Health) research program and receiving treatment - You are 3 years of age or older - You or your legal guardian is able to understand and sign an informed consent form **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 3 years of age - You are not currently enrolled in an NIH intramural research program clinical trial Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
