Abstract Background Two recent studies suggest that a histology-independent approach consisting in selecting molecularly targeted agents based on the molecular profile of patients' tumors improves patients' outcome [Von Hoff et al., 2010; Tsimberidou et al., 2012]. However, the lack of randomization versus standard of care in these studies did not allow drawing robust conclusions. Methodology The SHIVA trial is a multicentric randomized proof-of-concept phase II trial comparing molecularly targeted therapy based on tumor molecular profiling versus conventional therapy in patients with any type of refractory cancer. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. The molecular profile performed on a mandatory biopsy includes the assessment of 1) hot spots mutations using the AmpliSeq cancer panel on Ion Torrent/PGM (Life Technologies), 2) gene copy number alterations using Cytoscan HD/Affymetrix, and 3) expression of estrogen, progesterone and androgen receptors by IHC. The algorithm used by a Molecular Biology Board (MBB) to guide treatment in the experimental arm is presented in the Table. . Results Between 10/2012 and 01/2013, 63 patients have been included in the study. Results of the feasibility study are available for the 53 first patients. Biopsy was performed in 50 out of 53 patients (94%). Complications occurred in 1 patient (2%). Median time between the biopsy and the MBB was 26 days [range: 14-42]. Mutations, gene copy number alterations and IHC profile were obtained in 32 (64%), 34 (68%) and 45 (90%) patients, respectively. A molecular abnormality leading to randomization was present in 21 patients (42%). Conclusions The establishment of a comprehensive tumor molecular profile is safe, feasible and compatible with clinical practice. A molecular abnormality matching with the approved drugs available in the trial was present in 42% of patients.
