ClinConnect Summary
The PLANET trial is a research study designed to better understand advanced cancer types, such as metastatic solid tumors, glioblastoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Researchers will collect samples from both tumor tissue and blood (called liquid biopsies) over time to analyze the cancer's characteristics and how it responds to treatment. This information aims to help doctors predict how well different treatments might work for patients and potentially offer personalized treatment options if a patient’s cancer worsens.
To participate in this study, you must be an adult with a confirmed diagnosis of advanced cancer that requires standard treatment. This includes specific types of cancer that are treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapies. Participants will need to provide tumor samples and agree to undergo follow-up procedures, including additional biopsies. The study is currently recruiting patients, and all participants will be closely monitored throughout the process to gather important data that could improve future cancer care.
