A scoring model designed for VMTB users to rank therapy options based on an individual patient’s multiomic molecular data, clinical information, and treatment history in accordance with current guidelines for biomarker associations and standard of care. A total score between 0 and 9 was determined for each therapy option by adding the subscores from three vectors corresponding to the predictive value of the molecular findings, the perceived clinical activity of the regimen in the specific cancer type and additional considerations regarding the patient’s prior treatment history. Unlike existing scoring models, the molecular vector was designed to reflect the expert opinions of the VMTB panel based on the patient’s entire multiomic profile that may include both positive predictors (eg, pAKT positive, PTEN loss) and negative predictors (eg, ERCC1 high) for a regimen that includes one or more therapeutic agents (eg, a PI3K inhibitor plus a platinum agent on a clinical trial).
