About this trial
This is a multicenter, experimental preclinical study conducted on primary samples from patients diagnosed with hematological or solid neoplasms defined as high risk. The study will be prospective, based on the consecutive enrollment of eligible patients at each participating institution.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients aged one year and over who are referred to the centres involved in the protocol (Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Parma, University of Parma, University of Perugia and Azienda Ospedali Riuniti Villa Sofia-Cervello of Palermo).
Patients with an established diagnosis of haematological or solid organ malignancy, including haematological or solid malignancies characteristic of the paediatric age group.
Patients diagnosed with relapsed, refractory and/or metastatic haematological or solid malignancy. Patients may be enrolled regardless of the extent and type of previous therapy. Patients may also be enrolled if they are undergoing active treatment at the time of evaluation.
Patients must have the capacity to understand the investigative nature of the study and provide informed consent in writing. For patients under the age of 12 years, consent will be provided by the parent/legal guardian according to international guidelines. For patients aged 12 to 17 years, consent will be provided by the patient and the parent/legal guardian according to the mature minor principle.
Disqualifiers

Patients with active, uncontrolled infections

Treatments tested in this trial
Functional tests
Biological/VaccineFunctional analyses will be performed on primary sample from each enrolled patient. Malignant cells are cultered and incubated with a specific library of drugs (300 drugs) at four different concentrations for 72 hours.
Multi-omics analyses
Other interventionOur scientific approach is based on various investigations, including radiomics, digital pathology, immune profiling, bulk transcriptomics, single-cell resolution, single-cell transcriptomics, phosphoproteomics, functional immunoprofiling, and inflammasome analysis, NGS (Next Generation Sequencing analysis).
Cytogenetics/ FISH
GeneticIndividual biopsy samples will be evaluated in a pipeline that includes established diagnostic elements, e.g., cytogenetics and FISH.
