The integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) comprehensive gene profiling (CGP) into clinical practice is playing an increasingly important role in oncology. Therefore, the HKU-HKSH Multi-disciplinary Molecular Tumour Board (MTB) was established to advance precision oncology in Hong Kong. A multicenter retrospective study investigated the feasibility of the HKU-HKSH MTB in determining genome-guided therapy for treatment-refractory solid cancers in Hong Kong.
Patients who were presented at the HKU-HKSH MTB between August 2018 and June 2022 were included in this study. The primary study endpoints were the proportion of patients who receive MTB-guided therapy based on genomic analysis and overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients with actionable genomic alterations, objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). The Kaplan-Meier method was used in the survival analyses, and hazard ratios were calculated using univariate Cox regression.
122 patients were reviewed at the HKU-HKSH MTB, and 63% (n = 77) adopted treatment per the MTB recommendations. These patients achieved a significantly longer median OS than those who did not receive MTB-guided therapy (12.7 months vs. 5.2 months, P = 0.0073). Their ORR and DCR were 29% and 65%, respectively.
Our study demonstrated that among patients with heavily pre-treated advanced solid cancers, MTB-guided treatment could positively impact survival outcomes, thus illustrating the applicability of NGS CGPs in real-world clinical practice.

将下一代测序(NGS)全面基因谱分析(CGP)整合到临床实践中,在肿瘤学领域正发挥着越来越重要的作用。因此,香港大学-香港港安医院多学科分子肿瘤委员会(MTB)成立,以推动香港的精准肿瘤学发展。一项多中心回顾性研究调查了香港大学-香港港安医院MTB在确定香港难治性实体癌的基因组指导治疗方面的可行性。
纳入2018年8月至2022年6月期间在香港大学-香港港安医院MTB就诊的患者。主要研究终点是基于基因组分析接受MTB指导治疗的患者比例和总生存期(OS)。次要终点包括具有可操作基因组改变的患者比例、客观缓解率(ORR)和疾病控制率(DCR)。生存分析采用Kaplan-Meier方法,使用单变量Cox回归计算风险比。
香港大学-香港港安医院MTB对122例患者进行了评估,63%(n = 77)的患者按照MTB的建议接受了治疗。这些患者的中位OS明显长于未接受MTB指导治疗的患者(12.7个月对5.2个月,P = 0.0073)。他们的ORR和DCR分别为29%和65%。
我们的研究表明,在经过大量前期治疗的晚期实体癌患者中,MTB指导的治疗可以对生存结果产生积极影响,从而说明了NGS CGP在实际临床实践中的适用性。
