EXPRESS: EXcePtional RESponSe - Exceptional and Unexpected Response to Targeted Therapies (EXPRESS)

September 5, 2022 updated by: UNICANCER

Low Level of Genomic Alteration to Predict Exceptional and Unexpected Response to Targeted Therapies in Patients With Solid Tumors

Adult patients with metastatic or locally advanced solid malignancies (including but not limited to breast, cancer, lung adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal clear cell cancer, skin cutaneous melanoma), presenting or having presented an exceptional and unexpected response to an antineoplastic targeted therapy.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The primary endpoint is the rate of patients with tumors harboring a low level of genomic alteration (mutation, amplification or deletion) in genes (i.e. mutation, amplification, deletion) identified as causally implicated in cancer. A low level of genomic alteration is defined by the presence of less than the 5th quantile of genomic alterations to be expected in the given tumor type. Conversely, a high level of genomic alteration is defined by the presence of more than the 5th quantile of genomic alterations to be expected in the given tumor type.

The list of genes for which alterations are identified as causally implicated in cancer is defined by the Cancer Gene Census. This is an ongoing effort to catalogue those genes for which mutations, amplifications or deletions have been causally implicated in cancer. It is constantly updated by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (UK) and available at: http://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/census (n=571 genes in September 2015)

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adult patient ( ≥18 years old at diagnosis).
  2. Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures, sampling and analyses.
  3. Patient suffering from the following tumor type: breast cancer, lung adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, renal clear cell cancer, skin cutaneous melanoma.
  4. Metastatic or locally advanced disease.
  5. Currently or previously treated with an anticancer targeted therapy in monotherapy. Targeted therapies combined with other agents are accepted only if 1/ the tumor was previously proven to be progressive under the same agents or 2/ the response or the stability has been maintained with the targeted therapy alone after the agent has been stopped.
  6. Exceptional and unexpected tumor response to any marketed targeted therapy confirmed by the college of experts and defined as: complete response or partial response lasting more than six months, and not expected in more than 10% of the patients in this drug organ situation.
  7. Availability and required quality of the tumor biopsy (FFPE or frozen sample) allowing for the whole exome sequencing analysis. Tumor biopsies obtained just before the initiation of the targeted therapy are preferred; otherwise any prior sample is possible.
  8. Availability of normal tissue along with the tumor tissue, otherwise blood sample in order to extract constitutional DNA.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pediatric patient (<18 years old at diagnosis).
  2. Hematological malignancy or solid tumors, which are not in the scope of tumor types described in the inclusion criteria.
  3. Tumor sample not available or not reaching the required quality for whole exome sequencing analysis.
  4. Absence of confirmation of the exceptional and unexpected pattern of response by the college of experts as defined above.
