Study Overview

Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network Study for Ontario (MOHCCN-O)

The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN) is a national network of cancer centres that pursue collaborative cancer research in precision medicine (an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in DNA, environment and lifestyle) to accelerate the discovery of innovations and improve the health outcomes for cancer patients

The purpose of this study is to use evolving technologies such as genomics and artificial intelligence to study cancer so that the right treatment can be given to the right patient, at the right time. Approximately 15,000 participants will take part in the greater MOHCCN study across Canada in the first 5 years, and ultimately the goal is to enroll up to 100,000 over next 10 years.

    Arms and Interventions

    Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
    : MOHCCN-O

    Tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected from patients who are enrolled in this study but do not yet have the molecular profiling data that are required to meet the gold standard criteria. Data will include: pathology, clinical biomarkers, imaging

    Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
    Number of patients included in a pan-Canadian cohort with comprehensive clinical and genomic dataConsolidate and annotate data from patients included in a pan-Canadian cohort5 years
    Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
    Development of standard practices to create a unique shareable dataset of molecular, imaging, clinical and health outcome information on Canadian cancer casesImprove the cancer research paradigm by bringing teams or researchers together and leverage valuable information genomic and clinical data from Canadian cancer cases.5 years
    Clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of precision cancer medicine to advance clinical implementation and reimbursement decisionsHealth technology assessment tools will be used to evaluate the real-world value of precision medicine5 years

    Participation Criteria

    Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person’s general health condition or prior treatments.

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    ALL

    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    18 Years

    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

      Inclusion Criteria:
      1. Patients with histological and/or cytological confirmation of blood or solid tumor malignancies. For tumour types where pre-surgical biopsy is not routinely performed to confirm a pathologic diagnosis of cancer, patients may consent to this protocol, but eligibility must be confirmed after pathology is finalized demonstrating presence of malignancy 2. All patients must be able to satisfy the required minimum data elements for the 15k gold standard cohort through:
      1. Already existing data that satisfies the minimal requirements of a gold standard case (refer to Table 1) 2. Have sufficient biospecimens (tumor and/or blood samples) available for more comprehensive molecular and immunophenotypic characterization 3. Patients who do not satisfy the required minimum data elements but would like to participate, maybe requested to donate blood and undergo a fresh biopsy if the archived Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are not available, or in cases where a fresh tumor biopsy is deemed necessary for molecular profiling. 4. Participating patients must agree to share their anonymized clinical and genomic data
      Exclusion Criteria:
      None.
