ClinConnect Summary

The "Cancer Moonshot Biobank" is a clinical trial that aims to gather blood and tissue samples from patients diagnosed with various types of cancer, including advanced stages of breast cancer, lung cancer, and other serious conditions. This study is designed to collect samples over time, which will help researchers understand how cancer evolves and responds to treatments. If you are a patient with one of the eligible cancers and are either starting treatment, currently being treated, or experiencing disease progression, you may qualify to participate.

Participants in this trial can expect to provide fresh blood and tissue samples, which may involve a routine medical procedure for collecting tumor tissues or bone marrow. The study is open to anyone aged 13 and older, regardless of gender, who can understand and sign consent forms, or have a representative do so. By participating, you not only contribute to advancing cancer research but also help improve our understanding of cancer treatment over time.

• • Currently progressing on a regimen of standard of care therapy OR
• • Currently being treated with a regimen standard of care therapy, without evidence of progression
• * Requirements for fresh tissue biospecimen collections at enrollment:
• • For clinical scenarios a, b, and c above, freshly collected tumor tissue or bone marrow (BM) aspirate must be submitted at enrollment
• • For clinical scenarios a and b, the fresh tissue collection must be prior to starting therapy

• * Pre-existing archival material (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded \[FFPE\] block, BM aspirate, or unstained slides) that:
• • Contains the cancer type for which the participant is enrolled, and
• • Was collected no more than 5 years prior to initiation of therapy, and
• • Contains at least a surface area of 5 mm\^2 and optimal surface area of 25 mm\^2 or 3-5 mL cryopreserved bone marrow aspirate to yield 200 million bone marrow mononuclear cells, and
