Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies comprehensive gene sequencing in guiding treatment recommendations in patients with metastatic or recurrent solid tumors. Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may improve the ability to plan treatment.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the feasibility and logistics associated with a clinical trial utilizing the Foundation Medicine Incorporated (FMI) test in an academic therapeutic setting.

II. To determine the proportion of patients who will receive a cancer-related therapy based on the results provided by the FMI test.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To explore and report estimates of progression free survival (PFS) of the regimen administered after the FMI test results are revealed and the PFS of the most recent regimen administered before the FMI test results were received.

II. To determine the feasibility of performing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) on metastatic tumor tissue.

III. To determine the feasibility of administering cancer-related drugs that are proposed by the results of NGS that are not Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for a patient's specific cancer diagnosis.

IV. To collect and report the molecular alterations discovered by NGS of advanced breast and colorectal cancer.

V. To determine in an exploratory manner the concordance of the genomic alterations detected by the FMI test in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to the genomic alterations detected by FMI test in tumor tissues collected from the same patient.

OUTLINE:

PART I: Within 10 weeks of beginning a treatment regimen, tumor tissue samples and CTCs from patients are collected for NGS and FMI testing, respectively. Patients remain on current line of therapy until a change in treatment is warranted. The physician's treatment recommendation is documented prior to the release of the FMI results.

PART II: Physicians are furnished with FMI test results when patients become eligible for a change in therapy and new treatment recommendations are documented. Treatment is dependent on preferences of the physician, patient, and/or results of the FMI test.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for at least 18 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of NGS on metastatic solid tumor tissue, in terms of number of patients screened, FMI test attempted, FMI test successful, and FMI tests results released to physiciansUp to 18 months

Summary tables will be generated.

Feasibility of NGS result-based non-FDA-approved treatment plan, measured by reasons for ability or inability to receive an anti-cancer agentUp to 18 months

Summary tables will be generated.

Availability of recommended experimental regimens via clinical trialsUp to 18 months
Proportion of patients who have one recommended therapyUp to 18 months

The proportion of patients who have one recommended therapy recommended will be assessed and compared with the proportion who have multiple options recommended. Summarized, and estimates derived along with corresponding 95% confidence intervals.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Presence of any oncogene or tumor suppressor gene mutations or amplifications identified by NGS on tumor tissue in each cohortUp to 18 months
