Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors, Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas, or Histiocytic Disorders (The Pediatric MATCH Screening Trial)

Genetic testing helps find treatments for kids with specific cancers.

Recruiting
12-21 years
All
Phase 2

This study is for kids and young adults (12 months to 21 years) with tough-to-treat cancers like solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders. It uses genetic testing to find out if special medicines can help. Genetic testing checks the tumor cells' DNA for changes or mutations that might respond better to certain treatments.

Participants must have tried at least one standard treatment that didn’t work. The study involves taking a sample of the tumor and blood, and if a mutation is found, the patient will be assigned to one of several treatment plans. Treatment can last up to two years, with regular check-ups.

  • Study Length: Up to 2 years with regular visits.
  • Risks: Similar to other cancer treatments, risks include side effects from the drugs.
  • Eligibility: Ages 12 months to 21 years, with specific types of cancer.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
