PURPOSE: Patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases (CRPMs) have limited treatment options and the lowest colorectal cancer survival rates. We aimed to determine whether organoid testing could help guide precision treatment for patients with CRPMs, as the clinical utility of prospective, functional drug screening including nonstandard agents is unknown. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: CRPM organoids (peritonoids) isolated from patients underwent parallel next-generation sequencing and medium-throughput drug panel testing to identify specific drug sensitivities for each patient. We measured the utility of such a service including: success of peritonoid generation, time to cultivate peritonoids, reproducibility of the medium-throughput drug testing, and documented changes to clinical therapy as a result of the testing. RESULTS: Peritonoids were successfully generated and validated from 68% (19/28) of patients undergoing standard care. Genomic and drug profiling was completed within 8 weeks and a formal report ranking drug sensitivities was provided to the medical oncology team upon failure of standard care treatment. This resulted in a treatment change for two patients, one of whom had a partial response despite previously progressing on multiple rounds of standard care chemotherapy. The barrier to implementing this technology in Australia is the need for drug access and funding for off-label indications. CONCLUSIONS: Our approach is feasible, reproducible, and can guide novel therapeutic choices in this poor prognosis cohort, where new treatment options are urgently needed. This platform is relevant to many solid organ malignancies.
目的:患有结直肠癌伴腹膜转移(CRPMs)的患者治疗选择有限,结直肠癌生存率最低。我们旨在确定类器官检测是否可以帮助指导 CRPM 患者的精准治疗,因为包括非标准药物在内的前瞻性功能性药物筛选的临床实用性尚不清楚。
实验设计:从患者中分离出的 CRPM 类器官(腹膜类器官)进行平行下一代测序和高通量药物筛选,以确定每位患者的特定药物敏感性。我们测量了此类服务的实用性,包括:腹膜类器官生成的成功率、培养腹膜类器官的时间、高通量药物测试的重现性,以及由于测试而导致的临床治疗的变化。
结果:在接受标准治疗的 68%(19/28)的患者中成功生成并验证了腹膜类器官。在 8 周内完成了基因组和药物分析,并在标准治疗失败时向肿瘤内科团队提供了正式的药物敏感性排序报告。这导致两名患者的治疗发生了变化,其中一名患者尽管之前已经进行了多轮标准治疗化疗,但仍有部分缓解。在澳大利亚实施这项技术的障碍是需要获得药物和为非标签适应症提供资金。
结论:我们的方法是可行的、可重复的,并可以指导预后不良的这一人群中的新治疗选择,这一人群急需新的治疗方案。该平台与许多实体器官恶性肿瘤相关。
