Abstract
Purpose: This analysis evaluated the influence of tissue and liquid biopsy concordance on outcomes in patients enrolled in the ROME Trial. Experimental design: The ROME trial, a phase II multicenter study, enrolled 1,794 patients with advanced solid tumors. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on tissue and liquid biopsies using FoundationOne CDx and FoundationOne Liquid CDx, A centralized Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) reviewed results to identify actionable alterations, with 400 patients randomized to tailored therapy (TT) or standard-of-care (SoC).TT improved objective response rate and progression-free survival (PFS) in the Intention to Treat population. Concordance was defined as the detection of the same druggable alteration in both biopsy types; discordance indicated detection in only one. Results: Concordance was present in 49% of cases, with alterations detected exclusively in tissue (35%) or liquid (16%) biopsies. Patients in the concordant group receiving TT experienced improved survival outcomes. Median overall survival (OS) was 11.05 vs. 7.70 months in the SoC group (HR 0.74; 95% CI: 0.51-1.07), and median PFS was 4.93 vs. 2.80 months (HR 0.55; 95% CI: 0.40-0.76). In contrast, the survival benefit of TT was less pronounced or absent in patients with discordant results. OS was higher in the T+L group (11.05 months), followed by tissue-only (9.93 months), and liquid-only groups (4.05months). PFS followed a similar pattern, with the longest PFS in T+L group (4.93 months) vs 3.06 months in tissue-only and 2.07 months in liquid-only groups. Conclusions: The study highlights the potential value of integrating both biopsy modalities in selected clinical contexts.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Cancer Research is a journal focusing on groundbreaking research in cancer, specifically in the areas where the laboratory and the clinic intersect. Our primary interest lies in clinical trials that investigate novel treatments, accompanied by research on pharmacology, molecular alterations, and biomarkers that can predict response or resistance to these treatments. Furthermore, we prioritize laboratory and animal studies that explore new drugs and targeted agents with the potential to advance to clinical trials. We also encourage research on targetable mechanisms of cancer development, progression, and metastasis.
