Brief Summary:
This is a multicentre prospective study of the feasibility and clinical value of a diagnostic service for identifying therapeutic targets and recommending personalised treatment for children and adolescents with high-risk cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Childhood Cancer Childhood Solid Tumor Childhood Brain Tumor Childhood Leukemia Refractory Cancer Relapsed Cancer Diagnostic Test: Molecular profiling and drug testing

Detailed Description:
This is a multicentre study conducted under the Zero Childhood Cancer Program. The study will be enrolling patients under the age of 21 with high-risk cancer over 3 years from cancer centres in Australia. Patient's cancer cells will be tested for genetic abnormalities (mutations) and undergoing drug testing in highly specialised laboratories. A Multidisciplinary Tumour Board comprising of oncologists, clinical geneticists and scientists will then discuss the results of each case and determine whether a personalised medicine recommendation can be made. A report describing the results and Tumour Board recommendation (if any) will be provided to the patient's treating doctor. It is always at the discretion of the treating doctor whether to alter the patient's management based on the information arising from this research project.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Personalized medicine recommendation [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Proportion of patients for whom personalized medicine recommendation can be made using a comprehensive diagnostic platform within a clinically relevant timeframe


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tumor samples with actionable molecular alterations [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Proportion of tumor samples found to have actionable molecular alterations

  2. Successfully conducted in vitro high throughput drug screening and in vivo drug sensitivity testing [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Proportion of tumours where in vitro high throughput drug screening and in vivo drug sensitivity testing can be successfully performed

  3. Identification of potential treatment by in vitro or in vivo drug screening [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Proportion of tumors for which a potential treatment option is identified by in vitro or in vivo drug screening

  4. Reporting turnaround time [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Number of weeks from enrollment to issuing a report to the treating clinician

  5. Patients receiving the recommended personalized therapy [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Proportion of patients who subsequently receive the recommended personalized therapy

  6. Barriers or reasons for patients not receiving the recommended personalized therapy [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Description of the barriers or reasons for patients not receiving the recommended personalized therapy


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Impact of personalized therapy on progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Time interval from enrollment until disease progression or death for patients who have received personalized therapy versus those who have not

  2. Impact of personalized therapy on overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Time interval from enrollment until death for patients who have received personalized therapy versus those who have not


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Fresh, cryopreserved or frozen tumor, bone marrow or blood
