Development and Utilization of an Integrated Clinical Genomic Database

Sponsor: Samsung Medical Center

Summary

This observational study aims to develop an integrated genomic and clinical database to support the discovery and validation of biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, treatment selection, and prediction of treatment response. The study will include adults aged 19 years or older with diagnosed or suspected cancer, as well as consenting individuals undergoing routine health screenings at Samsung Medical Center. Researchers will collect residual tissue specimens obtained during routine diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and additional blood samples collected alongside routine clinical blood tests. Previously collected specimens from approved biobank resources may also be used. Genetic, molecular, and protein analyses will be performed on the collected specimens, and the results will be integrated with clinical information, including cancer diagnosis, treatment history, treatment response, and disease outcomes. Patient-derived organoids and immune cells may also be used to investigate drug responses in laboratory models. The study aims to identify biomarkers associated with cancer development, progression, and treatment response, and to support the development of diagnostic tools and personalized treatment strategies. No experimental treatments will be assigned as part of this study, and no additional tissue biopsies will be performed solely for research purposes.
