Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) in advanced solid tumors has led to implement precision medicine in clinical practice. However, genomic alterations (GAs) detected are still not routinely used for therapeutic decision in the majority of the tumor types. The ESMO ESCAT ranks the GAs based on their clinical actionability. Since 2018, our Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) stratified the GAs detected in tissue/liquid biopsy based on ESCAT to guide treatment selection. Based on ESCAT, we aimed to assess clinical actionability of GAs through our MTB.
Patients (pts) with metastatic solid tumors enrolled in MOSCATO (NCT01566019) and MATCHR (NCT02517892) trials underwent a tumor biopsy at time of relapse. Molecular profiling was performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS), whole-exome sequencing and RNA-sequencing. Clinical actionability of GAs was prospectively assessed at our MTB according to ESCAT tiers. Clinical characteristics and outcome of pts were also collected.
Between Nov 2018 and March 2020, 387 pts underwent a biopsy. Molecular data from 366 pts were interpreted at the MTB. Median age was 61 (range, 24-90); 221 pts (60%) were male. Twenty-seven different tumor types were discussed; the most common were lung (n=117, 32%), gastrointestinal (n=105, 28%) and urological cancer (n=60; 16%). At least one GA was detected in 94% (366/388; 5% failed analysis). Based on ESCAT, GAs were classified according to the tumor type: 20% were tier I [N=72: 25
ESCAT classification of genomic alterations is attainable in clinical practice through MTB and helps adjusting treatment on both standard of care or investigational settings. Since ESCAT tiers update regularly, a dynamic review of therapeutic choices is advised.
