Abstract

Comprehensive genomic profiling enables genomic biomarker detection in advanced solid tumors. Here, to evaluate the utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) genotyping, we compare trial enrollment using ctDNA sequencing in 1,687 patients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancer in SCRUM-Japan GOZILA (no. UMIN000016343), an observational ctDNA-based screening study, to enrollment using tumor tissue sequencing in the same centers and network (GI-SCREEN, 5,621 patients). ctDNA genotyping significantly shortened the screening duration (11 versus 33 days, P < 0.0001) and improved the trial enrollment rate (9.5 versus 4.1%, P < 0.0001) without compromising treatment efficacy compared to tissue genotyping. We also describe the clonal architecture of ctDNA profiles in ~2,000 patients with advanced GI cancer, which reinforces the relevance of many targetable oncogenic drivers and highlights multiple new drivers as candidates for clinical development. ctDNA genotyping has the potential to accelerate innovation in precision medicine and its delivery to individual patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
