Caris Biorepository Research Protocol

Overview

About this study

The Biorepository for Caris Life Sciences is designed for the purpose of making quality biospecimens and associated clinical data available for research studies related to advancing precision medicine and improving care for patients.

The Caris Biorepository is a repository of prospectively collected biological specimens and associated clinical and demographic data gathered from multiple sources to be stored, used and shared for research. Caris Life Sciences will maintain the data and specimens and will control access to and use of the information and specimens by multiple individuals for multiple purposes which may evolve over time.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Capacity to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Due to the complexity of state and federal requirements governing the participation of prisoners in research, prisoners-patients will not be approached for participation in the Caris Biorepository.
  • Minor subjects will not be included in the Caris Biorepository, as it is possible biospecimens and data may be stored beyond the time limitations of assent and it may be impracticable to re-consent these subjects once they become adults.
  • Individuals who lack the capacity to give informed consent
