About this trial
DETERMINE is an open-label phase II/III trial. It will look at targeted treatments in rare cancers or common cancers with rare genetic change (mutation). Patients must have a cancer with an identified mutation. This could be found during routine testing or as part of another research programme. The DETERMINE trial will recruit adults, teenagers and children. If a drug is found to benefit a new patient group, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Funds to see if these drugs can be available for patients in the future. This clinicaltrials.gov record refers to the Overall Trial Protocol (Master Screening Record), additional records will be added to clinicaltrials.gov for each treatment arm.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
exhausted (or declined) standard-of-care treatment options.
or for whom no effective standard treatment is available.
and whose disease has progressed or is refractory. Exceptional circumstances may apply as described in the protocol.
Diagnosis of a rare cancer harbouring an actionable genomic alteration, or common cancer types with rare actionable genomic alterations, that has been identified using a validated next-generation sequencing method and for which there is a relevant open treatment arm within the DETERMINE trial.
Disqualifiers
Ongoing AEs Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade ≥2 attributable to previous anti-cancer treatments. Exceptions to this are any clinically stable AEs, which in the opinion of the Investigator should not exclude the patient.
At high medical risk, in the opinion of the Investigator, because of non-malignant systemic disease (including active uncontrolled infection).
Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or male patients with a partner who is a woman of childbearing potential and is planning to become pregnant during the trial or following the last dose of IMP, as specified in each treatment arm appendix.
Is (or plans to be) a patient in another interventional clinical trial, whilst taking part in this trial. Participation in an observational trial which does not involve administration of an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) and which, in the opinion of the local Investigator, would not place an unacceptable burden on the patient would be acceptable e.g. sample collection* or QoL studies.
