Abstract: Introduction: Interrogating gene expression in tumor can identify up- and downregulated molecular targets of cancer drugs. Here we report the results of prospective clinical investigation NCT03724097 of using RNA sequencing analysis for personalized cancer therapy. Methods: Transcriptomic profiles were analyzed using computational algorithm Oncobox that identifies altered expression of drug target genes and molecular pathways and builds a personalized rating of targeted therapeutics. Oncobox reports were provided to oncologists, and treatment outcomes were assessed. Results: Totally, 239 adult solid cancer patients were enrolled: 135 received cancer drug therapy, others received palliative treatment or radiotherapy, or died before therapy started. Oncobox recommended drugs were prescribed in 59% of the cases receiving therapy. Otherwise, patients received non-targeted therapy or targeted therapy predicted as inefficient by Oncobox (controls). Patients in the Oncobox group were significantly pre-treated compared to controls (mean number of previous lines therapy 2 vs 1.2, respectively), but we observed a longer progression-free survival (PFS) trend in the Oncobox group. Furthermore, post-hoc analysis revealed that time between biopsy collection and tumor molecular profiling significantly impacts Oncobox predictive capacity. Excluding patient cases with biopsy obtained more than 7 months before RNA sequencing led to a statistically significant difference in PFS between Oncobox and control groups with hazard ratio of 0.45 (95% CI: 0.23-0.9,p-value = 0.023). Conclusion: These results suggest that transcriptomic profiling provides clinically relevant therapeutic match and can improve disease control rate in recurrent and/or metastatic solid cancers.
