Factors predictive of second-line chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma: An analysis of the National Genomic Profiling Database.

ABSTRACT: Of the drugs used in second-line chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma (STS), trabectedin is effective for liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma (L-sarcoma), eribulin for liposarcoma, and pazopanib for non-liposarcoma. The indications for these drugs in STS other than L-sarcoma have not been established. Here we explored the prognosis, mutation profiles, and drug-response factors in STS using real-world big data. Clinicogenomic data on 1761 patients with sarcoma who underwent FoundationOne CDx were obtained from a national database in Japan. Patients with TP53 and KDM2D mutations had a significantly shorter survival period of 253 (95% CI, 99-404) and 330 (95% CI, 20-552) days, respectively, than those without mutations. Non-supervised clustering based on mutation profiles generated 13 tumor cluste
