Personalised selection of experimental treatment in patients with advanced solid cancer is feasible using whole-genome sequencing.

Background: Biomarker-guided therapy in an experimental setting has been suggested to improve patient outcomes. However, trial-specific pre-screening tests are time and tissue consuming and complicate the personalised treatment of patients eligible for early-phase clinical trials. In this study the feasibility of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a one-test-for-all for guided inclusion in early-phase trials was investigated.
