To collect germ-line deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and nucleic acids from cancer patients to further investigate the association and identify new germ-line mutations that impact cancer predisposition.\n\nII. To investigate the role of germ-line mutations in predicting cancer outcome and response to therapy.\n\nSECONDARY OBJECTIVES:\n\nI. To determine the effect of the identified variants on tumor micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA), protein and gene expression.\n\nII. To study expression of DNA, ribonucleic acid (RNA) or protein in the blood of cancer patients with and without variants of interest to discover correlations between such levels and the presence of cancer and/or response to therapy in these patients.\n\nOUTLINE:\n\nPatients undergo collection of blood and saliva samples 1-3 times at the discretion of the investigator for germ-line mutation analysis.\n\nAfter completion of study, patients are followed up for 5 years.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Adults with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pathologically or clinical confirmed tissue diagnosis of a cancer\n* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients will be excluded if their cancer cannot be confirmed\n* Refusal to sign the informed consent'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02280161', 'briefTitle': 'Germ-Line Mutations in Blood and Saliva Samples From Patients With Cancer', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'An Investigation of the Role of Germ-Line Mutations in Cancer Predisposition, Tumor Biology, and Response to Treatment', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '14-001115'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'NCI-2014-02065', 'type': 'REGISTRY', 'domain': 'CTRP (Clinical Trial Reporting Program)'}, {'id': 'JCCCID488', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Ancillary-Correlative (germ-line mutation analysis)', 'description': 'Patients undergo collection of blood and saliva samples 1-3 times at the discretion of the investigator for germ-line mutation analysis.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: cytology specimen collection procedure']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'cytology specimen collection procedure', 'type': 'OTHER', 'otherNames': ['cytologic sampling'], 'description': 'Correlative studies', 'armGroupLabels': ['Ancillary-Correlative (germ-line mutation analysis)']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '90095', 'city': 'Los Angeles', 'state': 'California', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'United States', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Joanne B.
