TAPUR Study: Testing FDA Approved Drugs Targeting Tumor Biomarkers in People with Advanced Stage Cancer
About the Study
The TAPUR Study is looking at the safety and efficacy of FDA-approved, targeted drugs to treat advanced cancers with certain tumor biomarkers. If interested, talk to your doctor about testing and visit www.tapur.org to find a participating center near you. Check here for the list of tumor mutations, markers and cancer types that are part of study eligibility.
What the Study Involves
The TAPUR Study is looking at many different cancer types, biomarkers, and drugs all in the same clinical trial. The study has broad eligibility, collects the minimum necessary data, and allows for flexibility in visits, treatment decisions, and care decisions to better benefit the participants. Each cancer type and treatment type follows different treatment timelines, so speak with the study contact if you have questions about what would be required of you if you are eligible and decide to join the study.
More about the Study
The TAPUR Study is a phase II, nonrandomized clinical trial. Phase II means that the study looks at efficacy and side effects of the anticancer study treatments. Nonrandomized means that participants are not randomly divided into treatment groups.
