Clinical Research Platform on Decision Making and Clinical Impact of Biomarker-Driven Precision Oncology

The retrospective cohort study INFINITY will be an instrument to analyze the current practice of precision oncology in the real-world setting. It will provide insight into real-world biomarker-directed treatment of cancer patients not eligible for standard therapies. The study will retrospectively collect medical records' data of patients who received a targeted treatment based on a potentially actionable alteration or biomarker identified by molecular diagnostics. Data of deceased patients will be included. The study will analyze how molecular test results guided clinical decision making. The compiled treatment and outcome data will be a valuable resource to analyze the use and effectiveness of targeted therapy approaches in biomarker-defined and entity-defined subpopulations of cancer patients. These signals might generate new insights and foster progress of targeted cancer treatment. The associated biomarker profiling module aims to set up a decentral biobank for future research on molecular alterations or central re-testing.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Advanced solid tumors (i.e. locally advanced, inoperable and/or metastatic) or hematologic malignancies not eligible for standard therapy options (i.e. without further treatment options with drugs approved for the specific indication based on the judgement of the treating physician)
  • Started or completed at the documenting study site a non-standard targeted therapy based on an actionable alteration or biomarker identified by molecular diagnostics
  • Results on molecular diagnostics (e.g. tumor genomic or protein expression test) must be available; based on these results the therapy decision was taken
  • Targeted therapy (given as monotherapy or as part of a therapy regimen) must be non-standard at time point of patient registration in the eCRF
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Signed and dated informed consent form (only if patient is alive at time of data entry into the project; not applicable for inclusion of deceased patients' data)

Exclusion criteria

  • Non-standard targeted therapy was given within a clinical trial
  • The targeted therapy was given in a line of treatment for which it is non-standard (e.g. treatment in first line instead of second line where it is approved); the targeted therapy is however in principle approved for the given entity
  • The targeted therapy was non-standard because a certain prior treatment has not been applied (e.g. targeted therapy is only approved after platin-based treatment but has been given without prior platin-based treatment); the targeted therapy is however in principle approved for the given entity
  • The targeted therapy was non-standard because a different or no chemotherapy back-bone has been applied (e.g. targeted therapy is approved in combination with cisplatin but has been given with oxaliplatin or without chemotherapy backbone); the targeted therapy is however in principle approved for the given entity

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Proportion of patients with CR or PR as best response

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient and Disease Characteristics

    Time frame: maximum 5 years

    Describe demographics, comorbidities and tumor type of patients not eligible for standard therapies.

  2. Details on molecular diagnostics

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Frequency of type of molecular diagnostic testing performed, of single gene/protein tests, multigene panels or NGS in molecular diagnostics, of type (by panel size) of NGS library sequenced, of proteins and genes tested, of altered proteins and genes, if tested, of treatment recommendations given in molecular diagnostic reports, of implemented treatment recommendations given in molecular diagnostic reports, of the use of a molecular tumor board (MTB), of implementation of the treatment recommendation given by MTB and duration from molecular testing result to start of non-standard targeted treatment

  3. Clinical decision making

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years (once per targeted therapy)

    Frequency of answers rated with a Likert scale on patient's non-suitability for standard therapy options / choice of performed molecular diagnostics / choice of selected molecular target and targeted non-standard therapy / reasons for the selection of targeted non-standard therapy / primary goal of the non-standard targeted therapy / expected advantages of the non-standard targeted therapy and frequency of ESMO Scale of Clinical Actionability for molecular Targets (ESCAT) evidence levels

  4. Evaluation of selected treatment approach assessed via project specific survey

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years (once per completed targeted therapy)

    Frequency of pre-defined answers on therapy duration, effectiveness and overall benefit

  5. Best overall response

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Proportion of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD)

  6. Disease Control Rate

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Proportion of patients with CR, PR or SD as best response

  7. Time to Response

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Time from start of treatment to the first objective tumor response (e.g., tumor shrinkage of ≥30%) observed for patients who achieved a CR or PR

  8. Duration of Response

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Time from documentation of tumor response to disease progression or death from any cause

  9. Time to treatment failure

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Time from start of therapy to discontinuation of treatment for any reason, including progression, toxicity, and death

  10. Progression-free survival

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Time from start of treatment until disease progression or death

  11. PFS ratio

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    PFS ratio of targeted non-standard therapy and preceding treatment line

  12. Overall Survival

    Time frame: Maximum 5 years

    Time from start of treatment until death of any cause
