NCORP May 2016 Update

A brief NCORP update. I didn’t attend the Spring NCTN Cooperative Group Meetings (on call), so I don’t have direct information about those, but thought I’d still consolidate some information before ASCO. The NCTN and NCORP continue to open and modify Precision Medicine clinical trials including ALCHEMIST, LungMAP, Exceptional Responders, and NCI MATCH as noted below.

NCI MATCH

I previously commented on the NCI Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (MATCH) in my “NCORP November 2015 Update” last November in the ASCO Connection and the Oncology Times.

I noted that “response to molecular testing has been far more brisk and enthusiastic than anticipated” and the NCI issued an interim update on May 6.

You can view links to the interim analysis slide deck, as well as a PDF version of the interim analysis executive summary.

Recently (May 26), a Press Release indicated that May 31 will be the re-activation date.

Changes include:

Version	Open	Arms	Screen	Lab capacity (Pts/wk)
Initial	8/12/15	10	3000	50
Re-open	5/31/16	24	5000	100

It was also noted that:

“Trial leaders will strengthen communication with enrolling physicians about the importance of referring into the trial only those patients who have adequate function of major organs and are able to carry out light daily physical activities.

Patients must be able to withstand being off treatment for up to six weeks because the process of genetic testing can take up to three or four weeks to complete, starting from the time of the patient’s tumor biopsy. Then, for patients who have a gene abnormality matching one of the 24 treatment arms, it can take up to two additional weeks to evaluate whether they meet the eligibility requirements for entering the specific treatment arm.”

Arms include:
