Basket of baskets (BoB): A modular, open label, phase II, multicenter study to evaluate targeted agents in molecularly selected populations with advanced solid tumors.

Abstract

TPS3151 Background: Basket trials with targeted agents can show high response rates for tumors with specific molecular profiles, granting extension of the label of some drugs. In other cases, study results were disappointing, likely due to the rarity of molecular alterations, limits in trial design and the difficulties in applying molecular tumor profiling in the clinical setting. Methods: Basket of Baskets (BoB), NCT03767075, aims to bridge the gap between Academic Genomics and clinical applications (ready-to market multi-marker Companion Diagnostics) by providing a sustainable and adaptable (to new technologies, markers, and therapeutic agents) platform for co-development of drug/companion diagnostic. BoB is a novel platform trial from Cancer Core Europe, a recently established sustainable European network for innovative cancer research. This protocol has two parts: (1) Part A includes a molecular profiling program for subjects with advanced solid tumors (iPROFILER), a variant annotation tool, and a molecular tumor board to select the most appropriate treatment. It also enables testing/developing companion diagnostics linked with the therapeutic part (part B). (2) Part B includes iBASKET, a modular multi-arm basket trial for subjects with tumors harboing selected molecular alterations. Each module is focused on a certain molecular pathway or on certain molecular alterations that may confer sensitivity to the study drug or study drug combination evaluated in that module/arm. The current version of iBASKET (Module 1- Atezolizumab in genomically-selected patients) is open for enrollment for patients with advanced neoplasms bearing one of the following alterations: Arm 1A: BRCA1 or BRCA2; Arm 1B: MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2; Arm 1C: POLE, POLD1 mutations; Arm 1D: hypermutated tumors; Arm 1E: other mutations in DNA-repair genes; Arm 1F: PDL1 gene amplification. All patients enrolled in Module 1 will receive single-agent atezolizumab. New Modules for genomically selected populations can be added through amendments. Our final aim is to achieve drug repurposing of treatments, co-develop multi-marker companion diagnostics and a large database of knowledge in Precision Medicine. Clinical trial information: NCT03767075.
