Kurzfassung:
The treatment of relapses from high-risk entities remains a major clinical challenge, thus the desperate need for precision medicine approaches. To serve this need, we have developed the INFORM registry study (INdividualized therapy FOr Relapsed Malignancies in Childhood), which attempts to rapidly generate personalized tumor profiles and identify therapeutic targets in a clinical diagnostic environment for relapse patients. The INFORM study assesses the feasibility of integrating rapid molecular profiling in the clinical management of pediatric cancer patients with progressive or relapsed high-risk malignancies. Whole-exome and low-coverage whole-genome sequencing are being performed on tumor and normal DNA, complemented with matched tumor RNA sequencing (Illumina HiSeq4000), DNA methylation profiling, and gene expression profiling (for outlier gene expression). To date, more than 400 patients were enrolled from & gt;50 centers in seven different countries (Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Finland, and Australia). The average turnaround time from tissue arrival to molecular results is 3 weeks. Actionable targets with at least “borderline” evidence (according to a prioritization score harmonized with the other major pediatric precision oncology programs across Europe) are being identified in ~50% of patients. Based on these findings, several patients were recruited onto ongoing clinical trials, or targeted therapeutics and/or patient-specific peptide vaccines were incorporated into individualized treatment regimes, with first reports of marked responses. Furthermore, we have established a systematic workflow for the reporting of hereditary predisposition, which is detected in ~7% of cases. In 2018, we will start recruiting patients onto several target-defined (entity independent) subtrials of the INFORM2 interventional trial series as well as the complementary counterpart conducted in France, the eSMART trial, which will collectively provide a portfolio of ~10 mechanism-of-action defined, investigator-initiated early phase clinical (combination) trials for pediatric patients at relapse within the European Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer (ITCC) Consortium.
