Treatment Resistance Following Anti-cancer Therapies

The TRANSLATE study aims to better understand why tumors become resistant to standard anti-cancer therapies. New tumor biopsy and blood samples are collected after disease progression on standard-of-care anti-cancer treatment and compared to the initial (archival) tumor biopsy sample taken from the same patient. Annotated reports of results from clinical Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) gene panel tests of both tumor and blood are sent directly from the testing lab to the study physician for discussion with the patient during the study. Patients may participate in interventional treatment clinical trials at the same time as participating in the TRANSLATE study. Primary data will be publicly available after the study to support further research.
