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.
KPMNG scale of clinical actionability of molecular target (K-CAT)
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

a) Prospective phase I/II trials supporting level 2 targets include clinical trials across tumor types such as basket trials. In this case, the clinical benefit needs to be judged by expert consensus.
