Brief Summary

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

The study aims to evaluate the clinical utility of the xDRIVE functional precision medicine + artificial intelligence (AI) platform in predicting treatment response for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The primary objective is to assess xDRIVE's accuracy in forecasting clinical benefit from standard-of-care (SOC) therapies, with a target of ≥80% accuracy in 25 participants. Achieving this threshold would provide sufficient statistical power to reject the null hypothesis of ≤50% accuracy.

The secondary goal is to determine the feasibility of utilizing xDRIVE for timely treatment recommendations. Success will be defined by the ability to provide recommendations within four weeks for at least 64% of patients, ensuring clinical applicability.

Additionally, the study includes an exploratory objective to examine oncologists' perspectives on integrating xDRIVE into clinical decision-making. This will be achieved through a post-hoc survey assessing physician experiences with the precision oncology platform.

Detailed Description

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

Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains a critical unmet clinical need, necessitating innovative approaches to improve patient outcomes. Functional precision medicine (FPM)-guided interventions offer the potential to enhance treatment decision-making by tailoring therapies based on individual patient responses. This study aims to evaluate the clinical utility of xDRIVE, a precision oncology platform, in predicting treatment response to standard-of-care (SOC) therapies in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. By integrating cutting-edge biobanking and personalized medicine approaches, the study seeks to determine whether xDRIVE can provide accurate and timely treatment recommendations, ultimately optimizing clinical management for patients with mCRC.

The primary objective is to assess the accuracy of xDRIVE in predicting clinical benefit, defined as a complete response, partial response, or stable disease. Success will be determined by achieving at least 80% accuracy in 20 of 25 participants, allowing for rejection of the null hypothesis (≤50% accuracy) with 90% statistical power. A total of 30 participants will be enrolled to ensure robust evaluation. The secondary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing xDRIVE in a clinically actionable timeframe, with success defined as delivering treatment recommendations within four weeks for at least 64% of cases. This feasibility threshold will allow for rejection of the null hypothesis (≤35% feasibility) with 90% power. Additionally, the study will explore oncologists' perspectives on integrating xDRIVE into clinical decision-making. A post-hoc survey will be conducted to assess physician experiences, providing insights into the potential impact and adoption of precision oncology platforms in routine practice.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Metastatic colorectal cancer patients

Participants with mCRC who need clinical tumor biopsy or resection and need to start systemic therapy for measurable disease.

Functional precision medicine

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The results of the drug sensitivity assay and genetic screening will be used to inform treating physician about patient-specific drug sensitivity or resistance guiding best therapy choices. Treatment will not be given as part of the study.
