Background: Precision oncology requires the identification of individual molecular pathomechanisms to find optimal personalized treatment strategies for every cancer patient. Incorporation of complex molecular information into routine clinical practice remains a significant challenge due to the lack of a reproducible, standardized process of clinical decision making. Methods: To provide a standardized process for molecular interpretation, we develop a precision oncology decision support system, the Realtime Oncology Molecular Treatment Calculator (MTC). MTC is a rule-based medical knowledge engine that dynamically aggregates and ranks relevant scientific and clinical evidence using currently 26,000 evidence-based associations and reproducible algorithm scoring of drivers, molecular targets to match molecular alterations to efficient therapies. To validate this novel method and system, we used data of the SHIVA01 trial of molecularly targeted therapy (Lancet Oncol 2015 16:1324-34). Molecular profiles of participants were uploaded to MTC and aggregated evidence level (AEL) values of associated targeted treatments were calculated, including those used in the SHIVA01 trial. Results: The MTC output provided a prioritized list of drugs associated with the driver alterations in the patient molecular profile, where ranking is based on AEL values. Of 113 patients who received targeted therapy with available clinical best response data, disease control was experienced in 63 cases (PR: 5, SD: 58), while disease progression occurred in 50 cases. The average AEL score for the therapies applied was significantly higher in the responsive group than in the non-responsive group (1512 and 614, respectively (p = 0.049)). In 94 cases, drugs other than those used for therapy were ranked higher by the MTC. The average AEL difference between the top-ranked and the used drugs was in an inverse correlation with clinical response, i.e. smaller differences associated with a better outcome. Conclusions: Results indicate that the aggregation of evidence-based tumor-driver-target-drug associations using standardized mathematical algorithms of this computational tool is a promising novel approach to improve clinical decisions in precision oncology. Further validation based on the results of other targeted clinical trials and real-life data using more detailed molecular profiles is warranted to explore the full clinical potential of this novel medical solution.
