Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial studies how well an educationally enhanced genomic tumor board (EGTB) intervention works to increase the number of patients with solid tumors that have come back (recurrent), do not respond to treatment (refractory), have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or are newly diagnosed and spread to other parts of the body (advanced) who receive genome-informed treatment. Genome-informed treatment refers to treatment based on the information found in genomic tumor test results. This study compares the usual approach to reviewing genomic tumor test results with the approach of having a genomic tumor board (GTB) review the test results. A GTB is team of doctors and scientists that have experience in understanding genomic changes and review genomic tumor test results. The tumor board helps to suggest whether there are other cancer treatment options based on patient genetic test results. The usual approach is to review genomic tumor test results without the GTB being involved. This study may help researchers learn if using a GTB enhances the treatment decision making process within 6 months of joining the study. This study may also help researchers learn if using the GTB increases doctors' understanding of genomic tumor test results and increases doctors' comfort level with genomic tumor tests.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine whether an EGTB intervention compared to usual practice increases the proportion of patients who receive evidence-based genome-informed therapy within 6 months after registration to the study.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare physician genomic confidence and physician experience with genomic tumor testing (GTT) between arms at baseline and end of study.

II. To compare clinical outcomes between arms by assessing patient survival and time to treatment discontinuation.

III. To compare physician assessment of evidence-based genome-informed therapy to the central study team determination of evidence-based genome-informed therapy, both overall and separately by arm.

IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the utilization of GTT and implementation of the EGTB intervention into clinic workflow in order to better understand barriers and facilitators at Recruitment Centers assigned to the active intervention arm using a mixed-methods approach.

II. To assess the evolution of GTT utilization within clinic workflows at recruitment centers assigned to the usual practice (control) arm using a mixed-methods approach.

OUTLINE: Study clinics are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. Participants receive interventions based on this randomization.

ARM 1: Participants receive usual care. This consists of physicians ordering GTT for patients and reviewing the results without the GTB being involved.

ARM 2: Patients and physicians receive the EGTB intervention. This is comprised of 2 components: the structured GTB and the supporting education. Physicians submit cases for discussion to the GTB within 2 weeks of GTT results. The GTB sessions are held weekly and conducted virtually over a video-conferencing platform. Each case presentation is 10 to 15 minutes long, and 4 to 6 cases are discussed during each 60 minute GTB session. GTT results and clinical data are presented and expert interpretation of genomic test results is provided to help prioritize potential treatment options and provide a framework for interpretation. Supporting education materials are also available online to participants to support GTT decision making.

Physicians are followed until the end of the study or through 6 months after their last patient was registered to the study, whichever is later. Patients are followed for 24 months after registration or until a criterion for removal from protocol participation is met, whichever comes first.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* RECRUITMENT CENTERS INCLUSION
* A Recruitment Center is defined as an outpatient clinic, or group of clinics, belonging to the same National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) or minority/underserved (MU)-NCORP, who will be contributing physicians and patient participants to the study
* Recruitment Centers must be part of an NCORP or MU-NCORP site with Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR) funding as this study is supported by CCDR funding. Each clinic included in the Recruitment Center must be associated with Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) site identification (ID).
* Recruitment Centers must send large panel next generation sequencing genomic tests on at least 10 unique patients per month.
* Recruitment Centers must have at least 4 practicing oncologists (including medical, gynecologic, or neuro-oncologists) at the site willing to participate in the study and register within three months of study activation.
* Recruitment Centers must be willing to register a total of 66 patients (over 2 years) to the study.
* Centers must be able to send at least one member of the study team to attend the Recruitment Center's cases presented to the S2108CD Genomic Tumor Board, should the Recruitment Center be randomized to the intervention arm.
* Recruitment Centers must be willing and able to document the number of unique patients on which GTT is ordered at the Recruitment Center and submit this monthly to the S2108CD Study Team.
* PHYSICIAN PARTICIPANT INCLUSION
* Physician participant must be a registering investigator of the Recruitment Center that is participating in the study. If the physician is a registering investigator at more than one Recruitment Center, he/she must choose one Recruitment Center to identify with and enroll patients from.

* Physician participants must be willing to offer participation in the study to all eligible patients under their care for the duration of the study. A single physician may enroll multiple patients on the study.
* Physician participants must be willing to complete all study questionnaires and, as part of the implementation objective, participate in interviews if invited.
* Physician participants must complete all baseline questionnaires prior to registration.
* Physician participants at a Recruitment Center randomized to the intervention arm must be willing to participate in the educationally enhanced GTB (EGTB).
* PATIENT PARTICIPANT INCLUSION

Documentation of informed consent via remote consent is permissible.

Exclusion Criteria

* RECRUITMENT CENTERS EXCLUSION
* Recruitment Centers must not have or utilize an existing Genomic Tumor Board (GTB). For the purposes of this study, a Genomic Tumor Board is defined as an interdisciplinary team of clinicians and scientists that reviews genomic testing results and provides guidance on treatment options based primarily on genomic data to the treating physician. The existence of a general multidisciplinary tumor board that addresses all aspects of patient care and treatment is not considered an exclusion criterion. A general multidisciplinary tumor board is defined as an interdisciplinary team of clinicians that primarily discusses all aspects of cancer care, including diagnostic aspects (pathology and radiology), therapeutic options (surgical, radiation and medical) as well as palliative and psychosocial support options.
* PATIENT PARTICIPANT EXCLUSION
* Patient participants must not be going on hospice care at the time of registration.
