About this study
The purpose of the study is to learn from the real world practice of prescribing targeted therapies to patients with advanced cancer whose tumor harbors a genomic variant known to be a drug target or to predict sensitivity to a drug. NOTE: Due to character limits, the arms section does NOT include all TAPUR Study relevant biomarkers. For additional information, contact TAPUR@asco.org, or if a patient, your nearest participating TAPUR site (see participating centers). \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Results in publication or poster presentation format are posted as they become available for individual cohorts at www.tapur.org/news. The results may be accessed at any time. All results will be made available on clinicaltrials.gov at the end of the study. Indexing of available results on PubMed is in progress. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

You may qualify if…
- ✓ 12 years of age or older (\*Restrictions apply. Not all therapies are available for patients \<18)
- ✓ Histologically-proven locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor, multiple myeloma or B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who is no longer benefiting from standard anti-cancer treatment or for whom, in the opinion of the treating physician, no such treatment is available or indicated
- ✓ Performance status 0-2 (Per Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) criteria)
- ✓ Patients must have acceptable organ function as defined below. However, as noted above, drug-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria specified in the protocol appendix for each agent will take precedence for this and all inclusion criteria:
- ✓ 1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 106/µl
- ✓ 2. Hemoglobin \> 9.0 g/dl
- ✓ 3. Platelets \> 75,000/µl
- ✓ 4. Total bilirubin \< 2.0 mg/ dl, except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome
You may not qualify if…
- ✕ Patients whose disease is not measurable or cannot be assessed by radiographic imaging or physical examination (e.g., elevated serum tumor marker only) are not eligible
- ✕ Patients with primary brain tumors or new, untreated or progressive leptomeningeal metastases are excluded
- ✕ Patients with previously treated brain metastases are eligible, provided that the patient has not experienced a seizure or had a clinically significant change in neurological status within the 3 months prior to registration. All patients with previously treated brain metastases must be clinically stable for at least 1 month after completion of treatment and off steroid treatment for one month prior to study enrollment.
- ✕ Patients with known progressive brain metastases are eligible but additional eligibility criteria apply.
- ✕ Note: there are additional exclusion criteria that may apply
