Official title
The MATRIX Clinical Studies of Precision Cancer Therapy for Rare Cancers
Overview
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.
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.
Interventions
- Drug Imatinib
imatinib treatment based on molecular alterations - Drug Trametinib
According to biomarkers - Drug Dabrafenib
