ComboMATCH Treatment Trials
ComboMATCH is a large precision medicine initiative with a coordinated set of clinical trials evaluating new anti-cancer drug combinations in select groups of adults and children with cancer. Each trial studies the effectiveness of a specific drug combination in a select group of patients (called a phase 2 trial design). The drug combinations are either two targeted therapies or chemotherapy with a targeted drug. Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that targets the changes in cancer cells that cause them to grow, divide, and spread.
Generally, this set of trials is for patients with advanced solid tumors. However, each trial has its own patient inclusion and exclusion criteria, such as the targeted tumor gene abnormalities, type of cancer, stage of disease, prior treatment, age of the patient, etc. Therefore, patients must first enroll in the ComboMATCH Patient Registration Trial (EAY191) for a screening assessment to help determine eligibility for a treatment trial.

ComboMATCH is an exciting system-wide collaboration. As shown in the table above, cooperative groups lead the various treatment trials with funding from the National Cancer Institute through its National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). These groups include the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, Children's Oncology Group, ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group, NRG Oncology, and SWOG Cancer Research Network.
