Overview
A national, prospective, multi-center, open-label, multi-cohort study comprised of a framework to screen patients for actionable targets and evaluation of molecular profiling guided therapy recommended by MTB based on genomic alterations using targeted and/or immunotherapies outside of the approved indications via local clinical practice (Tier 1 & 2) and clinical trials (Tier 3)
Description
- The KOSMOS-II study will recruit locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor patients who had disease progression on standard first line anti-cancer treatment and/or has no standard treatment option, in order to prove MTB value to guide treatment within local clinical practice.
- After site physicians confirm that NGS results of patients are available, they preliminarily decide initial treatment before MTB submission and collect informed consent form, and then patients can register to the KOSMOS-II study. Site physicians upload patients' clinical, pathologic, and genomic data for MTB submission. If site physician cannot determine initial treatment before MTB, site physician can record 'initial treatment cannot be determined' and can register the patient for MTB.
- MTB records its treatment recommendations within available drugs list based on uploaded data, then site physicians make a final treatment decision, after informing patient about MTB decision and assessment of patients' final health status and preference.
- 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.
- Recommended treatment option There are three different options including (1) Tier 1: Therapeutic use of investigational products (KOSMOS-II drugs), (2) Tier 2: alternative treatment options, and (3) Tier 3: clinical trials
Eligibility
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.
- 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.
- 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
