Brief Summary

This research trial studies using genomic profiling to recommend anticancer treatment to patients with cancer that has spread beyond the original site of the tumor (metastatic cancer). Genomic profiling studies the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a tumor to detect genetic changes or abnormalities. This information can then be used to recommend treatments that may be more likely to result in a beneficial response. It is not yet known whether genomic profiling will detect abnormalities that can be used to make treatment recommendations and whether treatment based on genomic profiling is more effective than standard treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Understand and provide written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures * Have a diagnosis of metastatic, incurable cancer and have progressed on at least one line of systemic therapy OR a cancer with no standard 1st-line systemic therapy shown to prolong survival (or where a clinical trial recommended as the 1st-line option) * Measurable disease (RECIST 1.1) * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 * In the opinion of the investigator, be medically suitable for and willing to undergo a biopsy or surgical procedure to obtain tissue as a part of routine care for their malignancy OR have adequate archival tissue from a previous biopsy available for profiling * Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use at least one form of contraception during the study and for at least one month after treatment discontinuation; for the purposes of this study, child-bearing potential is defined as: all female patients that were not in post-menopause for at least one year or are surgically sterile * Male patients must use a form of barrier contraception approved by the investigator/treating physician during the study and for at least one month after treatment discontinuation Exclusion Criteria: * Have lesions that are not accessible to biopsy or not planned for biopsy as part of routine care OR if archival tissue will be used for profiling, an insufficient amount is available * Have diagnosis of a hematologic malignancy * Have symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastasis; patients with a history of CNS metastases who have been treated with whole brain irradiation must be stable without symptoms for 4 weeks after completion of treatment, with image documentation required, and must be either off steroids or on a stable dose of steroids for \>= 2 weeks prior to enrollment * Have uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active serious infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable cardiac arrhythmias, psychiatric illness, or situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements or the ability to willingly give written informed consent * Have known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection * Are pregnant or breast-feeding patients or any patient with childbearing potential not using adequate contraception
