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.

Trial Overview Read MoreRead more

This trial is evaluating individually tailored treatment plans in people with advanced cancers who are accessing targeted therapy cancer drugs through compassionate access .
 

This trial is treating patients with locally advanced, incurable or metastatic cancer.

This is a systemic therapy trial.

You may be able to join this trial if:

  • You have been diagnosed with cancer, but have not received any treatment.
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.
  • Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.

Summary

When seriously ill patients run out of standard treatment options, they will often consider non-standard treatment options (such as treatments that are currently unapproved by the regulatory agency for the given indication). In general, an access program enables patient access to a non-reimbursed therapeutic agent, outside of a clinical trial setting. Compassionate access is typically for therapeutics that are not yet approved or TGA registered, and are still considered investigational. Compassionate access is an established process with increasing demands. This study is designed to provide a framework for which patients treated with compassionate access therapeutics can register, so that some of the limitations of ad hoc compassionate access programs can be overcome. A study committee will prospectively assess each individual patient's detailed treatment approach in an objective and time-efficient manner. If approved, the patient may be eligible to register into the treatment phase of the study. All participants will have an individualised treatment plan. Possible treatments include targeted therapies.
