Strata: An Observational Study Profiling Biospecimens from Cancer Patients to Screen for Molecular Alterations Related to Treatment Selection

Summary

Many patients are treated for advanced cancer without knowledge of underlying molecular features that might indicate FDA approved therapies or potential eligibility for biomarker-selected clinical trials. Strata Oncology is initiating the Strata Trial (STR-001-001) with the primary goal of understanding the proportion of subjects available for clinical trials and approved targeted therapies in advanced cancer while assessing the feasibility of using a large-scale NGS screening program to match subjects for eligibility assessments in clinical trials and/or for approved targeted therapies. The Strata Trial does not require additional procedures but rather uses surplus, or leftover tumor specimens for molecular profiling.
