What this trial is trying to do
The researchers think that having a central precision-oncology navigator and a pharmacist review next-generation sequencing (NGS), which reads many tumour genes at once, will help doctors identify treatments matched to a tumour’s genomic changes. This single-arm trial is testing whether that support increases orders for Level 1 or 2 genome-informed therapy compared with an estimated historical rate of 15%.
The aim is to make genetic test results more likely to lead to a matched treatment or a biomarker-directed clinical-trial referral, rather than being filed without changing care. The study will measure treatment orders, trial enrolment, and survival two years after the results are returned, but it has no randomised comparison group.
Worth knowing: The main outcome is whether a matched treatment is ordered, not whether the cancer responds or patients live longer; the historical 15% comparison may not reflect what would have happened to these patients without the programme.

What it is measuring
The rate of genome informed therapy (GIT) orders
This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.
Not phased. Not a drug-phase trial. Often a device, a procedure, or a change in how care is delivered.
How the researchers describe it
This is a hybrid decentralized, single-arm, interventional study designed to evaluate the impact of precision medicine navigation and reflexive expert review of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for patients with stage IV solid tumor malignancies (breast, lung, colorectal, and bladder cancers).
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether intervention from a centralized precision oncology navigator and expert review of NGS results by the precision oncology pharmacist will increase ordering of Level 1/2 genome informed therapy (GIT) compared to an estimated historical rate of 15%. Secondary endpoints will assess the impact of a centralized precision oncology navigator and expert review of NGS results on enrollment in biomarker-directed clinical trials and overall survival at 2 years after return of NGS results. The study will take approximately 12 months for enrolment and 2 years of follow-up after the date of NGS results.

Who the trial is looking for
In order to participate in this study a subject must meet all of the eligibility criteria outlined below.
Inclusion Criteria
- Written informed consent was obtained to participate in the study and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information.
- Subjects are willing and able to comply with study procedures based on the judgment of the investigator.
- Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
- ECOG or Karnofsky Performance Status of 0-2.
- Documented Stage IV solid tumor malignancy: NSCLC, CRC, Breast or Bladder Cancer
- The treating provider deems Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) testing appropriate and plans to consider results in either first- or second-line therapy in the metastatic setting
- A genomic tumor test has not been ordered or has been ordered but not resulted.
Exclusion Criteria
- Subjects with an active concurrent malignancy.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.
Worth asking your oncology team
Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.
- Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
- Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
- What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
- What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
