NCI-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) Trial



NCI-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) Trial
 

The Trial


 
NCI-MATCH precision medicine clinical trial will explore treating patients based on the molecular profiles of their tumors.
NCI-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) is a clinical trial that analyzes patients’ tumors to determine whether they contain genetic abnormalities for which a targeted drug exists (that is, “actionable mutations”) and assigns treatment based on the abnormality. NCI-MATCH seeks to determine whether treating cancers according to their molecular abnormalities will show evidence of effectiveness.
NCI-MATCH can add new treatments or drop treatments over time. Each treatment will be used in a unique arm, or substudy, of the trial.
The trial opened for enrollment in August 2015 with 10 arms. Each arm will enroll adults 18 years of age and older with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas that are no longer responding (or never responded) to standard therapy and have begun to grow......

 Enrolling in NCI-MATCH
