What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of molecular profiling guided therapy based on genomic alterations in patients with advanced solid tumors who have progressed on standard treatments or have no standard options available. It involves a multi-center approach where patients' genomic data is analyzed to identify actionable targets, and treatment recommendations are made by a molecular tumor board (MTB). Patients may receive investigational therapies or alternative treatments based on their genomic profiles. The study seeks to enhance personalized treatment strategies for patients with complex cancer cases.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 and older with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have shown disease progression on standard first-line treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with solid tumors that have standard treatment options available or those without sufficient genomic information may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective and personalized treatment options for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies utilizing molecular profiling for targeted therapies have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is gaining traction in cancer treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* 19 years of age or older
* Histologically proven locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors\*\*\* who showed disease progression on standard first line anti-cancer treatment and/or has no standard treatment option

  \*\*\* very rare diseases without standard treatment option which form solid mass, such as Erdheim Chester disease can be enrolled after KOSMOS MTB approval
* A genomic test results must be available in a MFDS-accredited for laboratories offering service, or in part of clinical trial/study or other commercial labs approved and certified by regulatory bodies compatible with MFDS, such as CLIA. A genomic test can be conducted with tumor tissue as well as plasma circulating tumor DNA.

  1. Results from genomic profiling tests performed after diagnosis with metastatic/advanced disease to registration are acceptable. NGS results performed within three years prior to registration are preferred. Those patients with NGS results from primary tumor or more than 3 years prior to enrollment can be registered and whether NGS data is acceptable will be subject to MTB decision.
  2. NGS panels should be i. Tested in a lab that is accredited by one or more quality assurance program (e.g., Korean Institute of Genomic Testing Evaluation, The Korean Society of Pathologists, Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine, Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme, etc.) ii. Patients who have insufficient genomic information from their NGS results (e.g., lack of variant calling format file or uninterpretable reports) or who are candidates of immunotherapy will submit their tissue and/or blood, for central NGS testing and exploratory biomarker analysis.
* Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
* Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
* Adequate recovery from most recent systemic or local treatment for cancer.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients receiving any anti-cancer treatment (local treatment, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy) within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment
* Any clinical condition, according to the opinion of site physicians, which makes molecular profiling guided therapy not at the best interest of the participating patient.
* Patients who have ongoing toxicities of ≥ CTCAE 2, other than peripheral neuropathy, related to previous anti-cancer treatment. Patients with ongoing peripheral neuropathy of ≥ CTCAE 3 will be excluded. Laboratory abnormalities ≥ CTCAE 2 considered as not clinically significant by the study physician will be allowed.
* Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study
