TCF-001 TRACK is a patient advocacy initiated, decentralized clinical trial enrolling patients with rare cancers and cancer of unknown primary. Patients can enroll remotely without a requirement to travel, and enrolled patients receive biomarker testing of tissue and blood at no cost, as well as treatment recommendations from a virtual molecular tumor board. This presentation will provide details on how TRACK works, and how it seeks to achieve its goals of providing patients with personalized, potentially actionable information while simultaneously generating critical research data.
