Gene-Guided cancer therapy: a new hope for advanced tumors?
NCT ID NCT05525858
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study enrolls 1,000 adults with advanced solid tumors that have progressed after standard treatment. Researchers will use genetic tests to match patients to specific drugs, like Alectinib or Atezolizumab, based on their tumor's gene changes. The goal is to see if this personalized approach is feasible and helps control the cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Alectinib, Atezolizumab, and other targeted/immunotherapies based on genomic alterations
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that using genetic tests to choose cancer treatments improves outcomes for people with advanced solid tumors who have run out of standard options.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage feasibility study, not a large confirmatory trial. The treatments are used outside their approved indications, so benefits are uncertain and there may be unexpected side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 19 years of age or older * Histologically proven locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors\*\*\* who showed disease progression on standard first line anti-cancer treatment and/or has no standard treatment option \*\*\* very rare diseases without standard treatment option which form solid mass, such as Erdheim Chester disease can be enrolled after KOSMOS MTB approval * A genomic test results must be available in a MFDS-accredited for laboratories offering service, or in part of clinical trial/study or other commercial labs approved and certified by regulatory bodies compatible with MFDS, such as CLIA. A genomic test can be conducted with tumor tissue as well as plasma circulating tumor DNA. 1. Results from genomic profiling tests performed after diagnosis with metastatic/advanced disease to registration are acceptable. NGS results performed within three years prior to registration are preferred. Those patients with NGS results from primary tumor or more than 3 years prior to enrollment can be registered and whether NGS data is acceptable will be subject to MTB decision. 2. NGS panels should be i. Tested in a lab that is accredited by one or more quality assurance program (e.g., Korean Institute of Genomic Testing Evaluation, The Korean Society of Pathologists, Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine, Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme, etc.) ii. Patients who have insufficient genomic information from their NGS results (e.g., lack of variant calling format file or uninterpretable reports) or who are candidates of immunotherapy will submit their tissue and/or blood, for central NGS testing and exploratory biomarker analysis. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document * Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks * Adequate recovery from most recent systemic or local treatment for cancer. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients receiving any anti-cancer treatment (local treatment, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy) within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment * Any clinical condition, according to the opinion of site physicians, which makes molecular profiling guided therapy not at the best interest of the participating patient. * Patients who have ongoing toxicities of ≥ CTCAE 2, other than peripheral neuropathy, related to previous anti-cancer treatment. Patients with ongoing peripheral neuropathy of ≥ CTCAE 3 will be excluded. Laboratory abnormalities ≥ CTCAE 2 considered as not clinically significant by the study physician will be allowed. * Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study
