This can be a new drug, a combination of drugs or a different way of using established therapies. After a cancer diagnosis, it’s important to carefully consider all potential treatment options to know what’s best for you and discuss with your care team.

The Targeted Agent Profiling and Utilization Registry (TAPUR™) Study aims to assess molecularly targeted cancer drugs and gather data on their clinical outcomes for potential uses beyond FDA-approved indications.

With the collaboration of JAX, the TAPUR Study has expanded to include Maine and New Hampshire, marking the first rural states in the Northeast to participate at a statewide level.
