Protocol Title: Cancer Moonshot Biobank Research Protocol
Currently Enrolling
This trial collects multiple tissue and blood samples, along with medical information, from cancer patients.

Protocol Title: Observational basket trial to collect tissue to train and validate a live tumor diagnostic platform (CYBRID-02)
Enrolling Soon
In this observational clinical basket trial, participants will be recruited and their actual clinical response (using RECIST 1.1) to CPIs across five solid tumors (lung, head/neck, bladder, kidney, and skin) will be compared to the platform's predictive Artificial Intelligence (AI) score that is based on RNA, clinical data, and 3D microscopy images. The sensitivity and specificity of the platform's score will be determined and compared to current diagnostic methods for CPIs like PDL1, MSI, and TMB.
