Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Summary

Eligible patient's cancer cells will be tested for genetic abnormalities (mutations) and undergoing drug testing in highly specialised laboratories. A Multidisciplinary Tumour Board comprising of oncologists, clinical geneticists and scientists will then discuss the results of each case and determine whether a personalised medicine recommendation can be made. A report describing the results and Tumour Board recommendation (if any) will be provided to the patient's treating doctor. It is always at the discretion of the treating doctor whether to alter the patient's management based on the information arising from this research project.
