Phase N/A

This study collects tissue (parts of the body) and blood samples from cancer patients. The goal is to help scientists learn more about cancer and test new medicines. This is an observational study, meaning researchers watch and collect data without changing any treatments. The samples are taken during medical procedures that patients already need. They are then stored in special ways for future research.

Key Points:

  • Participants can be any age but must have cancer or are suspected to have cancer.
  • No extra procedures are needed beyond routine care; samples are taken during standard medical treatments.
  • Patients will need to sign a consent form to participate, showing they understand and agree to the study.

Patients with certain infections or non-cancerous conditions cannot join. The study does not offer any direct treatment, but the research may benefit future cancer care. If you're considering joining, you should be willing to contribute your samples for research and be okay with the study's observational nature.

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.
