Brief Summary
This clinical trial studies how well an educationally enhanced genomic tumor board (EGTB) intervention works to increase the number of patients with solid tumors that have come back (recurrent), do not respond to treatment (refractory), have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), or are newly diagnosed and spread to other parts of the body (advanced) who receive genome-informed treatment. Genome-informed treatment refers to treatment based on the information found in genomic tumor test results. This study compares the usual approach to reviewing genomic tumor test results with the approach of having a genomic tumor board (GTB) review the test results. A GTB is team of doctors and scientists that have experience in understanding genomic changes and review genomic tumor test results. The tumor board helps to suggest whether there are other cancer treatment options based on patient genetic test results. The usual approach is to review genomic tumor test results without the GTB being involved. This study may help researchers learn if using a GTB enhances the treatment decision making process within 6 months of joining the study. This study may also help researchers learn if using the GTB increases doctors' understanding of genomic tumor test results and increases doctors' comfort level with genomic tumor tests.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percent of patients who receive a treatment that targets a genomic variant for which there is sufficient data to support actionability
Evidence-based genome-informed therapy is defined as the use of a treatment that targets a genomic variant for which there is sufficient data to support actionability. This is a patient-specific measure determined through blinded central review of patient data, following the schemas in the protocol. An independent panel of investigators blinded to the study arm assignment of the study participant will evaluate redacted data from each subject for determination of the primary endpoint. Data supporting the primary endpoint are obtained from the genomic tumor test results PDF, pathology report, primary tumor type, and the S2108CD Treatment Form as well as curated evidence plus evidence level (tier) designation from the Jackson Labs Clinical Knowledge Base.
Within 6 months of study completion
Secondary Outcomes (6)

Baseline and month 27 after study activation
Physician experience using genomic tumor testing (GTT) in practice
Baseline and month 27 after study activation
Overall survival

Time to treatment discontinuation
From registration until the last dose recorded or death, assessed up to 24 months
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Arm 1 (usual care)
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants receive usual care. This consists of physicians ordering GTT for patients and reviewing the results without the GTB being involved.
Arm 2 (EGTB)
EXPERIMENTALPatients and physicians receive the EGTB intervention. This is comprised of 2 components: the structured GTB and the supporting education. Physicians submit cases for discussion to the GTB within 2 weeks of GTT results. The GTB sessions are held weekly and conducted virtually over a video-conferencing platform. Each case presentation is 10 to 15 minutes long, and 4 to 6 cases are discussed during each 60 minute GTB session. GTT results and clinical data are presented and expert interpretation of genomic test results is provided to help prioritize potential treatment options and provide a framework for interpretation. Supporting education materials are also available online to participants to support GTT decision making.
Interventions
Patients undergo genomic tumor board review
Receive usual care
Physicians access genomic testing education materials

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- A Recruitment Center is defined as an outpatient clinic, or group of clinics, belonging to the same National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) or minority/underserved (MU)-NCORP, who will be contributing physicians and patient participants to the study
- Recruitment Centers must be part of an NCORP or MU-NCORP site with Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR) funding as this study is supported by CCDR funding. Each clinic included in the Recruitment Center must be associated with Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) site identification (ID).
- Recruitment Centers must send large panel next generation sequencing genomic tests on at least 10 unique patients per month.
- Recruitment Centers must have at least 4 practicing oncologists (including medical, gynecologic, or neuro-oncologists) at the site willing to participate in the study and register within three months of study activation.
- Recruitment Centers must be willing to register a total of 66 patients (over 2 years) to the study.
- Centers must be able to send at least one member of the study team to attend the Recruitment Center's cases presented to the S2108CD Genomic Tumor Board, should the Recruitment Center be randomized to the intervention arm.
- Recruitment Centers must be willing and able to document the number of unique patients on which GTT is ordered at the Recruitment Center and submit this monthly to the S2108CD Study Team.
- Physician participant must be a registering investigator of the Recruitment Center that is participating in the study. If the physician is a registering investigator at more than one Recruitment Center, he/she must choose one Recruitment Center to identify with and enroll patients from.
- Physician participants must be board-eligible or board-certified in Medical Oncology, Gynecologic Oncology, or Neurology with certification or eligible for certification in Neuro-oncology.
- Physician participants must be willing to offer participation in the study to all eligible patients under their care for the duration of the study. A single physician may enroll multiple patients on the study.
- Physician participants must be willing to complete all study questionnaires and, as part of the implementation objective, participate in interviews if invited.
- Physician participants must complete all baseline questionnaires prior to registration.
- Physician participants at a Recruitment Center randomized to the intervention arm must be willing to participate in the educationally enhanced GTB (EGTB).
- Patient participants must have either recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or newly diagnosed advanced stage III or stage IV solid tumor malignancy.
- Patient participants must be under the care of a physician enrolled on the study.
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patient participants must not be going on hospice care at the time of registration.
