Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the cytotoxic T-cell lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptors have revolutionised the treatment of advanced melanoma, resulting in long-term durable responses and a 5-year overall survival of 52% with combination immunotherapy. However, clinical benefit is not universal, and half of these patients do not respond. Therefore, there is an urgent need for clinically validated biomarkers which can identify patients who are at high risk of not responding to standard-of-care immunotherapies and determine which emerging clinical trial agent is most appropriate for a particular patient's disease.
Researchers performed mutation, gene expression and tumour immune profiling on tumour biopsies from melanoma patients treated with anti-PD-1 monotherapy or combined anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy. From this dataset PIP has developed predictive models to identify patients with immunotherapy resistant disease.
The subsequent PIP-PREDICT is a prospective clinical study that enrols advanced cancer patients who are eligible to receive approved immunotherapies. PIP testing and biomarker reporting is used to screen potential patients. Each patient enrolled in the study receives an individual PIP Biomarker Report, which is presented as part of the established Biomarker Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meeting of clinical oncologists, pathologists, molecular biologists, trials nursing, PIP, and biospecimen staff on a fortnightly basis.
PIP-PREDICT has a primary goal of determining the accuracy of biomarker predictions from PIP prospectively within oncology clinics. Secondary goals include assessing the feasibility of biomarker assay workflows within diagnostic providers, conducting a cost-benefit ratio analysis, evaluating the effect of biomarker reports on treatment selection within multidisciplinary teams (MDTs), and performing a post-implementation analysis of personalised immunotherapy biomarker reports in treatment decision making.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Melanoma cohort
Patients with melanoma who are yet to receive immunotherapy will undergo predictive biomarker testing and biomarker reporting.
Predictive model
Patient who have not had immunotherapy will have tumour tested using the predictive model. This determines whether patients are likely to respond, or not to respond to immunotherapy. Results of the predictive model will be compared with the actual response to immunotherapy when this has been completed.
Non-melanoma skin cancer cohort
Patients with non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma) who are yet to receive immunotherapy will have tumour tested using the predictive model.
Predictive model
Patient who have not had immunotherapy will have tumour tested using the predictive model. This determines whether patients are likely to respond, or not to respond to immunotherapy. Results of the predictive model will be compared with the actual response to immunotherapy when this has been completed.
Solid tumour cohort
Patients with non-melanoma, non-skin cancer, solid tumours who are yet to receive immunotherapy will have tumour tested using the predictive model.
Predictive model
Patient who have not had immunotherapy will have tumour tested using the predictive model. This determines whether patients are likely to respond, or not to respond to immunotherapy. Results of the predictive model will be compared with the actual response to immunotherapy when this has been completed.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Histologically confirmed resected stage II (at high risk of recurrence of disease), III or stage IV melanoma (including cutaneous, mucosal, acral, subungual, uveal or unknown primary melanoma) and unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma
3. Eligible to receive immunotherapy
4. Availability of a melanoma tissue sample which was obtained at surgery and where no systemic treatments (e.g. adjuvant treatment) were administered between sample procurement and proposed PIP testing
5. Patients who have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant systemic therapy in the past are eligible if they have had recurrence after neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy has been completed and the biopsy represents this relapsed disease
6. RECIST version 1.1 measurable disease.
7. Tissue sample must be representative of the whole tumour and therefore excision biopsies are preferred over core biopsies.
8. A life expectancy over 6 months.
9. Prior treatment with BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene) / MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitors are acceptable, providing the other eligibility criteria are met.
10. If a patient has had prior radiotherapy for melanoma, the biopsy to be used for the biomarker test must be from an area that was not within the radiotherapy field.
1. Written informed consent to participation for the use of tumour tissue and collection of standard clinical data
2. Histologically confirmed cancer and eligibility to receive immunotherapy treatment.
3. Availability of a tissue sample where no systemic treatments were administered between sample procurement and proposed PIP testing
4. If treatment has been administered since the last tissue sample was obtained, a new biopsy should be planned for routine testing or clinical trial screening, where a portion of the sample can be used for the predictive assay. No new biopsies are required for the sole purpose of this study.
5. Patients who have received adjuvant or neoadjuvant systemic therapy in the past are eligible if they have had recurrence after neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy has been completed and the biopsy represents this relapsed disease.
6. Have clinically detectable disease defined as one of more of the following:
* RECIST measurable. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if RECIST-defined disease progression since radiotherapy has been demonstrated in such lesions, OR,
* Positron Emission Tomography (PET) avid, OR,
* Clinically evident disease: photographically, detectable on CT or palpable, OR
* Clinical status measured by observable and diagnosable signs or symptoms.
7. The tissue sample must be representative of the whole tumour and therefore excision biopsies are preferred over core biopsies.
8. A life expectancy over 6 months.
9. Prior treatment with targeted therapies are acceptable, providing the other eligibility criteria are met.
10. If a patient has had prior radiotherapy for melanoma, the biopsy to be used for the biomarker test must be from an area that was not within the radiotherapy field
Exclusion Criteria
NON-MELANOMA:
1\. Patients will be excluded if they have had a positive test result for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV antibody), indicating acute or chronic infection. If receiving treatment and from HCV for at least one year, patients are allowed to participate. No new testing is required for the sole purpose of this pilot phase. Patients will be excluded if they have known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). No new testing is required
