Genomic Testing in the NCI-MATCH Cancer Trial

To find patients who may be eligible, several commercial and academic laboratories were permitted by the National Cancer Institute to identify and refer potentially eligible patients to the trial. These referrals were based upon each lab’s standard tumor gene tests ordered by physicians at participating trial sites to guide clinical care for their patients.

The laboratory referral process applied to any cancer patient who had tumor gene testing through a cancer center or community hospital that participated in the trial. NCI-MATCH was open at nearly 1100 clinical sites in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

The trial closed to patient enrollment on December 23, 2022.
