Summary

This trial uses genomic testing to direct cancer treatment. Patients with cancer that has progressed after standard treatment or for which there is no agreed-upon treatment may benefit.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma that have worsened after standard treatment or lack a consensus treatment. Participants must be finished with previous treatments and recovered from their effects, not expect to conceive children, have an ECOG status of <=1 indicating they are relatively active, and meet specific health criteria including heart function and blood tests.
What is being tested?
The MATCH trial is testing whether targeting therapy based on genetic abnormalities in the tumor cells can benefit patients whose cancer has progressed. It involves genetic testing to identify mutations or changes in the tumor's DNA and then matching patients with therapies specifically designed to target those genetic features.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects depend on the targeted therapy given but may include skin reactions, digestive issues, fatigue, liver problems, heart complications like QTc prolongation (a type of irregular heartbeat), allergic reactions to medication components, increased risk of infection due to immune system impact.
