PURPOSE This single-center, prospective molecular profiling study characterizes genomic alterations and identifies therapeutic targets in advanced pediatric solid tumors. METHODS As part of the TOP-GEAR (Trial of Onco-Panel for Gene profiling to Estimate both Adverse events and Response by cancer treatment) project at the National Cancer Center (NCC), Japan, we enrolled pediatric patients with a refractory or recurrent disease during August 2016-December 2021 and performed genomic analysis of matched tumors and blood using originally developed cancer gene panels, NCC Oncopanel (ver. 4.0) and NCC Oncopanel Ped (ver. 1.0). RESULTS Of 142 patients (age, 1-28 years) enrolled, 128 (90%) were evaluable for genomic analysis; 76 (59%) patients harbored at least one reportable somatic or germline alteration. The tumor samples were collected during the initial diagnosis in 65 (51%) patients, after treatment initiation in 11 (9%) patients, and upon either disease progression or relapse in 52 (41%) patients. The leading altered gene was TP53, followed by MYCN, MYC, CDKN2A, and CDK4. The commonly affected molecular processes were transcription, cell-cycle regulation, epigenetic modifiers, and RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. Twelve (9%) patients carried pathogenic germline variants in cancer-predisposing genes. Potentially actionable findings were identified in 40 (31%) patients; to date, 13 (10%) patients have received the recommended therapy on the basis of their genomic profiles. Although four patients had access to targeted therapy through clinical trials, the agents were used in nine patients in an off-label setting. CONCLUSION The implementation of genomic medicine has furthered our understanding of tumor biology and provided new therapeutic strategies. However, the paucity of proposed agents limits the full potential of actionability, emphasizing the significance of facilitating access to targeted cancer therapies.
