Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with advanced solid tumors that are inoperable or not eligible for curative systemic therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, or mesothelioma will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

The AIO-BNHO CONNECT platform is a national, observational research initiative that collects and analyzes clinical and genomic data from patients with advanced solid tumors, excluding certain lung cancers and mesothelioma. It aims to compile real-world data from various healthcare providers, including community hospitals and university hospitals, to enhance understanding of precision oncology in Germany. The platform includes a decentralized tissue repository for tumor specimens, which can be utilized in future research projects. Both retrospective and prospective data will be gathered, including information from deceased patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could significantly improve the understanding of treatment outcomes and genomic profiles in advanced solid tumors, leading to better personalized treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing similar approaches of integrating clinical and genomic data have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this novel initiative.
