MATRIX-Rare: Precision Cancer Therapy in Rare Cancers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Some rare cancers are hard-to-treat and patients have a poor prognosis. It is known that some of these patients have targetable molecular alterations, and some benefit from targeted drugs. However in many cases these drugs are not approved for the rare cancers.
In this study the aim is to do advanced molecular diagnostics to identify possible targets for therapy, and to treat accordingly.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
All patients will have the tumour cells diagnosed with a large genepanel, analyzing more than 500 genes on DNA / RNA level. Patients will be treated based on the molecular characteristics of the tumor cells.
