Sponsor

Elephas

Enrollment

2,000 participants

Start Date

Apr 14, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will collect tumor specimens with correlated clinical and demographic data from patients who are undergoing a biopsy or similar procedure to obtain tumor tissue as a normal course of their medical management or diagnostic work-up for suspected or confirmed cancer.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study aims to improve how doctors predict whether a patient's cancer will respond to immunotherapy — a treatment that uses the body's own immune system to fight cancer. Researchers will analyze fresh tumor biopsy samples in the lab to identify markers that predict treatment response before therapy begins. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have a suspected or confirmed cancer diagnosis and are scheduled for a biopsy - If you are newly diagnosed with cancer, you have not yet started any treatment - If you have previously treated cancer, your biopsy will be done before your next line of treatment begins **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a known autoimmune disease, prior organ transplant, or chronic kidney or liver disease that would make you ineligible for immunotherapy - You have severely weakened immunity (for example, from HIV, organ transplant, or immunosuppressant medications) - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

PROCEDUREBiopsy

Subjects must be clinically able, at investigator discretion, to undergo additional biopsy passes during their biopsy. Biopsy specimen(s) will be obtained during a standard of care (SOC) procedure. If a subject receives a subsequent SOC biopsy for clinical diagnosis purposes, additional sample(s) may be collected and sent to the Sponsor.
