About
The purpose of this study is to test the CANscript™ sensitivity assay, which is a new and different assay developed to test the sensitivity of different cancer types to physician selected therapies (both drugs and/or drug combinations) indicated for the stage and type of cancer for treatment. CANscript™ tests how a patients specific tumor reacts to the therapies being considered by the treating physician. CANscript™ test results have been shown to closely correspond with actual clinical results, providing physicians with information that may help him/her develop a more personalized cancer treatment and care plan based on the patients specific condition. The researchers want to see if CANscript™ test results are helpful in selecting the treatments prescribed and provided. There will be about 800 people taking part in this study, across 5 different tumor types. The study is designed to assess the decision impact of the CANscript™ test results in informing physicians in therapy selection.
Full description
This is an observational data collection study evaluating how physicians utilize therapeutic sensitivity information ascertained with CANscript, and subsequently describing clinical outcomes (clinical response and survival) resulting from their therapeutic selection.
Potential patients presenting for study enrollment will provide written informed consent and will subsequently be screened per inclusion/ exclusion criteria. Once enrolled, a biopsy & blood draw will be scheduled to obtain material for CANscript testing. Imaging will also be scheduled if a fresh image (obtained within 14 days of planned treatment initiation) is not available. Prior to submitting a fresh tissue sample for CANscript, the treating physician will select any number of therapies being considered for treatment, and will assign a priority ranking to those therapies (priority #1 through priority #N, with #1 representing their most preferred therapeutic option for the patient, and #N representing the number of their least preferred of the appropriate potential therapies). Prioritized therapies can be either single-agent therapeutics or combination regimens. All ranked therapeutic options must be available for individual patient at the time of selection. The prioritized list of preferred therapies will be sent to the testing laboratory (Mitra Biotech, Inc.) at least 2 days before the biopsy and blood draw are performed. Fresh tumor and blood samples will subsequently be sent to the testing laboratory for receipt within 24 hours of biopsy.

Inclusion criteria
Male or female patient ≥18 years old
ECOG performance status of ≤ 2
The patient's tumor must be amenable to a tumor biopsy sampling, so that CANscript can be performed
The patient must have disease that is measurable by standard imaging techniques, per the RECIST 1.1 (For patients with prior radiation therapy, measurable lesions must be outside of any prior radiation field[s], unless disease progression has been documented at that disease site subsequent to radiation)
Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed:
A Locally advanced or metastatic HNSCC; B Locally advanced or metastatic TNBC; C Locally advanced or metastatic Stage 3b or 4 NSCLC after failure of appropriate 1st line therapy (i) Patients with EGFR or ALK mutations must have received previous appropriate therapy; D Locally advanced or metastatic epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, after failure of 1st line platinum-based chemotherapy (i) Recurrent or persistent stage 3 or 4 disease requiring relapse histologic documentation; E Stage IV metastatic CRC
Patient has signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures
