The FOCUS4 programme was designed to identify and register eligible patients, perform a set of molecular tests on a sample of their tumour and then enrol them into a specific randomised trial based on the results of the molecular tests. Each molecularly stratified trial aimed to compare a novel intervention to placebo or standard care.
