Molecular profiling of patients (pts) with colorectal cancer (CRC) and matched targeted therapy (MTA) in phase I clinical trials.

3014 Background: Molecular prescreening and biomarker enrichment strategies in Phase 1 trials with targeted therapies are anticipated to improve the outcomes of affected pts. Methods: As part of our personalized oncology program, tumors from pts with advanced chemorefractory CRC were analyzed for specific molecular aberrations (KRAS/ BRAF/ PIK3CA mutations [mut], PTEN and pMET expression) at the Vall d'Hebron Molecular Pathology and Genomics Labs. Those whose tumors were found to have a dysregulation were offered a Phase 1 trial with MTA. Results: During 2010 and 2011, tumor molecular analysis was performed in 254 pts: KRAS mut (80/254, 31.5%), BRAF mut (24/196, 12.2%), PIK3CA mut (15/114, 13.2%), KRAS+PIK3CA mut (9/114, 7.9%), PTEN low (97/183, 53.0% - HSCORE 30). In total, 68 pts (median, age 63 yrs; prior therapies 3), received 82 different matched therapies. Type of MTA: PI3K pathway inh (if PIK3CA...
