Sponsor

Elephas

Enrollment

416 participants

Start Date

Jun 26, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to develop and train the Elephas live tumor diagnostic platform and determine the ex-vivo accuracy of the Elephas Score using in-vivo RECIST 1.1 as the reference method


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting tumor tissue samples from patients with various cancers to develop and train a new type of test called a "live tumor drug sensitivity assay" — essentially growing small pieces of a patient's actual tumor in the lab and testing which drugs kill it best, helping personalize cancer treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You have been diagnosed with one of these cancers: bladder, kidney, colorectal, head and neck, liver, lung, skin melanoma, uterine (endometrial) cancer, or any solid tumor that may be treated with immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors) - Your cancer is advanced, recurrent, or metastatic (or stage III melanoma eligible for pre-surgery immunotherapy) - You have high TMB (tumor mutation burden), MSI-High, or dMMR status and are considering immunotherapy **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 - You are unwilling to give consent or share health information - You do not have one of the qualifying cancer types Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDURECore Needle Biopsy, Forceps Biopsy, Punch Biopsy

Subjects must be clinically able, at investigator discretion, to undergo additional core needle biopsy, forceps biopsy, or punch biopsy passes during their biopsy. These additional biopsies may either be collected from the primary tumor or a metastatic site amenable to additional passes (e.g., liver or lymph nodes) per the clinician.
