What are Basket Trials?

Basket trials are a type of clinical trial that involves testing a new treatment in patients with different types of cancer that share a specific genetic mutation or biomarker. In a basket trial, patients are grouped based on the specific mutation or biomarker, rather than the type of cancer they have. This approach allows researchers to test the effectiveness of a treatment across multiple types of cancer and identify which patients are most likely to benefit from the treatment. Basket trials are becoming increasingly popular in cancer research as they offer a way to accelerate drug development and provide more targeted treatments for patients.
