Testing a blood test to predict response to cancer immunotherapy
Official title: A Prospective Real World Evidence Study (PROWES) for Concordance Rate of Blood-based 3D Genome Conformation Mapping (Episwitch CiRT®) to Identify Likelihood of Response and Actual Response Rates to PD-(L)-1 Checkpoint Inhibitors Across Multiple Oncological Indications.
Run by Oxford Biodynamics Inc. · NCT06635954 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a blood test to see if it can predict how well people with advanced cancer will respond to a specific type of immunotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with stage III or IV cancer who are clinically eligible for immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of bone marrow or organ transplant may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Episwitch CiRT® test, which uses blood-based 3D genome conformation mapping to predict how patients with stage III and IV cancer will respond to PD-(L)-1 checkpoint inhibitors. Patients selected for this test will be monitored for their treatment responses over a six-month period, with data collected on various health outcomes and social determinants. The study will compare predicted responses to actual treatment outcomes, providing insights into the test's predictive capabilities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify which cancer patients are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored predictive tests for immunotherapy responses, but the specific approach of using blood-based 3D genome mapping is relatively novel.
