For the data represented in Table 2, we have corrected the level of evidence of K-CAT level 2 and 3. As the table shown, prospective phase I/II trials required for K-CAT level 2 include clinical trials across tumor types, such as basket trials. For the clinical benefit of specific cancer types, expert consensus is needed. K-CAT level 3A requires a retrospective study or case series with potential clinical benefit in s specific tumor types. K-CAT level 3B is revised from a retrospective study as clinical studies show potential clinical benefits in other indications. The corrected version of the table is below.
Table 2.
Level | Clinical implication | Required level of evidence |
---|---|---|
1 | Treatment should be considered standard of care | MFDS, FDA, EMA or equivalent-approved drug OR |
Prospective, randomized, phase III trials showing the benefit of survival endpoints | ||
2 | Treatment would be considered | Prospective phase I/II trials show clinical benefita) |
3 | Clinical trials to be discussed with patients | A: Retrospective study or case series show potential clinical benefit in a specific tumor type |
B: Clinical studies show potential clinical benefit in other indications | ||
4 | Preclinical data only, lack of clinical data | Preclinical evidence suggests the potential benefit |
G | Suspicious germline variant on tumor tissue NGS | Suggestive actionable germline variant on tumor tissue testing |
R | Predictive biomarker of resistance | FDA-recognized predictive biomarker of resistance |
