摘要

The US Food and Drug Administration approves tissue-agnostic therapies to target tumor biomarkers regardless of tumor type. In light of the growing number of such approvals in recent years, a better understanding of their relative clinical benefit across cancer types is required. To address this need, we analyzed tissue-agnostic indications (TMB-High, MSI-High/MMRd, BRAFV600E mutations, and NTRK and RET fusions) in a database of 295,316 molecularly-profiled tumor samples with associated clinical outcomes data. Here, we show that 21.5% of tumors harbored at least one of the tissue-agnostic indications investigated, including 5.4% lacking a cancer-specific indication. Our analysis reveals poor uptake of targeted therapies for rare NTRK fusions, significant differences in pembrolizumab-associated outcomes across tumor types for TMB-High and MSI-High/MMRd, as well as clinical benefits in tumor types and drugs of the same class not investigated in the pivotal clinical trials. These results demonstrate that treatment effects are not necessarily tissue-agnostic, and suggest possible expansion of therapeutic avenues for a given tissue-agnostic indication.
