Current Primary Outcome Measures
 (submitted: May 13, 2023)
Percentage of Patients that receive Functional Precision Medicine (FPM)-guided treatment options [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
This study will be considered successful (feasibility demonstrated) if it is possible to choose and initiate a monotherapy or combination drug regimen based on functional and/or genomics data within 4 weeks in at least 39 out of 65 patients (60%). To achieve at least 90% power, the null hypothesis will be rejected when at least 39 out of 65 patients receive treatment recommendations through functional and/or genomics data within 4 weeks on the study. With that outcome, we would have 95% confidence that the true feasibility rate is at least 40% (95% CI: 0.4905 to 1).
Original Primary Outcome Measures
 (submitted: May 5, 2023)
Percentage of Patients that receive Functional Precision Medicine (FPM)-guided treatment options [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
This study will be considered successful (feasibility demonstrated) if it is possible to choose and initiate a monotherapy regimen or combination drug regimen within 4 weeks in at least 41 out of 65 patients (63.1%). With that outcome, we would be 99% confident that the true feasibility rate is at least 50% (99% Confidence Interval: 0.484, 0.762).

Current Secondary Outcome Measures
 (submitted: May 5, 2023)
  • Assessing Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in FPM-guided therapy versus standard of care [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    We will assess changes in cohort PFS by comparing PFS in patients treated with FPM-guided therapy versus PFS in patients treated with non-FPM guided conventional therapy (standard of care)
  • Assessing Previous vs Trial PFS Ratio (PFS2/PFS1) in FPM-guided patients versus standard of care [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    We will assess changes in PFS from each patient's previous treatment versus their PFS from the treatment assigned during the trial. Assessments will be made both in the FPM-guided cohort and the non-FPM-guided cohort (standard of care). Analysis will include both the raw ratio as well as the number of incidences of 30% improved PFS on trial versus previous regimen (PFS2/PFS1 > 1.3x).
  • Assessing Overall Survival (OS) in FPM-guided patients versus standard of care patients [ Time Frame: Up to 6 years ]
    We will assess changes in cohort OS by comparing OS in patients treated with FPM-guided therapy versus OS in patients treated with non-FPM guided conventional therapy (standard of care)

Descriptive Information
Brief Title Ex Vivo Drug Sensitivity Testing and Multi-Omics Profiling
Official Title Adopting a Functional Precision Medicine Approach to Reduce Cancer Disparities in Hispanic and Black Children of Miami
Brief Summary Functional precision medicine (FPM) is a relatively new approach to cancer therapy based on direct exposure of patient- isolated tumor cells to clinically approved drugs and integrates ex vivo drug sensitivity testing (DST) and genomic profiling to determine the optimal individualized therapy for cancer patients. In this study, we will enroll relapsed or refractory pediatric cancer patients with tissue available for DST and genomic profiling from the South Florida area, which is 69% Hispanic and 18% Black. Tumor cells collected from tissue taken during routine biopsy or surgery will be tested.
Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of the study is to determine feasibility of providing pediatric cancer patients with access to personalized treatment options and clinical management recommendations based on Functional Precision Medicine (FPM), the combination of ex vivo drug sensitivity testing (DST) and genomic profiling.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: The secondary objective of the study is to compare individual outcomes (response and disease-free survival) in patients with pediatric cancers treated with FPM-guided therapy as compared to non-FPM guided (conventional) therapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: To explore associations between tumor molecular characteristics (genomic and transcriptomic variation) and ex vivo drug response with respect to patient ethnicity.

Study Type Observational
Study Design Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Target Follow-Up Duration Not Provided
Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Description:
Perform functional drug testing and genomic profiling on blood, biopsy, bone marrow and solid tumor samples at relapse.
Sampling Method Non-Probability Sample
Study Population Chemorefractory and/or relapsed pediatric cancer patients with no alternative treatment options.

Study Groups/Cohorts Chemorefractory or relapsed patients
We intend to enroll chemorefractory or relapsed pediatric patients with all types of cancers where tumor tissue would be available for ex vivo drug screening and genomic profiling. The results of the drug sensitivity assay and genetic screening will be used to inform treating physician about patient-specific drug sensitivity or resistance guiding best therapy choices.
