MCT for the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center
Molecular Characterization Trial for the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center: Radiation Oncology at the Interface of Pediatric Cancer Biology and Data Science
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of the Molecular Characterization Trial (MCT) is to obtain biological specimens and data resources from patients enrolled on prospective trials, to ensure that the Harvard/UCSF ROBIN Center accomplishes its key objective of advancing our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie how radiation treats tumors but also can cause unwanted side effects. The MCT focuses on collection of research biospecimens before, during, and after radiation. Also critical to the MCT is the deep annotation of these research biospecimens with elements that complement each other to provide a holistic, detailed view of each patient. Annotated elements include those used in the past such as clinical and biological features but extend to factors we have so far neglected but must incorporate in the future such as dosimetry (precise anatomical measurement of radiation dose), artificial intelligence, computational biology, and natural language processing.
