Nationwide precision oncology pilot study: KOrean Precision Medicine Networking Group Study of MOlecular profiling-guided therapy based on genomic alterations in advanced solid tumors (KOSMOS) KCSG AL-20-05.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become widely available but molecular profiling-guided therapy (MGT) had not been well established in the real world due to lack of available therapies and expertise to match treatment. Our study was designed to test the feasibility of a nationwide platform of NGS-guided MGT recommended by a central molecular tumor board (cMTB) for metastatic solid tumors.

Patients and methods

Patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with available NGS results and without standard treatment were enrolled. The cMTB interpreted the patients' NGS reports and recommended the following: (i) investigational medicinal products (IMPs) approved in other indications; (ii) alternative treatments; (iii) clinical trials. The primary variables were
