Selected cases in which F1CDx offers therapeutic choices
Patient code | Age, sex |
Diagnosis | Disease history | Alterations and signatures already known | Alterations and signatures detected by F1CDx | Comments |
01 | 81 y, F |
Stomach adenocarcinoma intestinal type with liver and bone metastases |
|
|
|
After the second line the patient was in good clinical conditions but without any approved therapy. After the report of MSI status and TMB-high an off-label request for Nivolumab was done to our ethic committee based on the results of ATTRACTION-2 study.34 Patient started therapy on October 2018 and after 3 months had a complete response which is maintained nowadays.35 |
02 | 29 y, F |
Left colon adenocarcinoma with liver, lymph node and peritoneal metastases |
|
|
|
AXL is a novel target in CRC.36 In our department, a clinical trial with cabozantinib (a multikinase inhibitor of MET, RET, AXL, and VEGFR-2) in previously treated metastatic CRC patients is opened (EudraCT2019-000674-28). This patient was enrolled in this trial and treatment is ongoing. |
03 | 66 y, M |
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma with liver, bone and brain metastasis |
|
None |
|
This patient without any other available therapy was found with NTRK3 fusion, allowing him to participate to STARTRK-2 study.37 Treatment is ongoing. |
04 | 76 y, F |
Locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma |
|
None |
|
F1CDx revealed FGFR2-BICC1 fusion after the progression to first line therapy. She resulted eligible for the six trials according to the report. She went in another centre to participate to ARQ 087 trial (NCT03230318, ongoing). |
05 | 54 y, M |
Locally advanced left colon adenocarcinoma |
|
|
|
During the first line with FOLFOXIRI the patient had no clinical benefit and the PFS was only 6 months (Best Response: SD). Cardiovascular contraindications to anti-angiogenic therapies. An off-label request for Pembrolizumab was done according to KEYNOTE-164 results.38 Unfortunately, he started therapy too late and after only one cycle, his performance status declined. He died few weeks later. |
06 | 57 y, M |
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with liver, lung and peritoneal metastases |
|
None |
|
After the third line the patient was without any other available therapy. F1CDx revealed two druggable alterations with 15 trial proposed by the report. Unfortunately, the patient’s clinical conditions worsened rapidly (PS 3 ECOG) and he has not been able to participate. |
07 | 67 y, M |
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with peritoneal metastases |
|
None |
|
F1CDx was performed during the first line therapy. A trial with an IDH inhibitor was available but the patient is still in maintenance with gemcitabine. Recently a positive trial was presented at ESMO 2019 with ivosidenib that improved PFS over placebo in IDH mutant cholangiocarcinoma.39 |
08 | 53 y, F |
Infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast |
|
|
|
This patient is actually in follow-up but F1CDx revealed an important prognostic information and predictive in case of relapse.40 Germline BRCA test is ongoing. |
