国立がん研究センターと慶應義塾大学は、C-CATに登録された固形がん54,185例(2019年6月~2024年6月)の臨床ゲノムデータを解析し、がん遺伝子パネル検査の実臨床での有用性を検証した。治療標的となる遺伝子異常(エビデンスA~D)は72.7%で検出された一方、検査に基づき新たに標的治療を受けたのは8.0%にとどまった。ただし甲状腺がん34.8%、非小細胞肺がん20.3%などがん種差が大きく、導入率は2019~20年5.5%から2023~24年10.0%へ増加傾向だった。さらに国内承認薬だけでなく、国内未承認でも有効性が示される薬剤の標的異常(A国内承認なし、B)でも予後改善と関連し、治験・患者申出療養等による薬剤アクセス拡大の意義を示した(Nature Medicine、2026/1/6)。

Abstract

Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is crucial in precision oncology, yet its real-world utility remains unclear. Here we analyzed data from the Japanese nationwide Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics database, including clinical and genetic data from 54,185 patients with advanced solid tumors (consisting of 81 common and rare tumor types) who received CGP with a targeted sequencing panel covering 324 genes as part of their clinical care. We assessed the prognostic value of CGP-guided clinical evidence-level classification, showing that alterations predicting response to Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency-approved or Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies and to therapies supported by well-powered studies with expert consensus are detected in 16.6% and 8.1% of patients, respectively, and are associated with better prognosis than those with lower clinical evidence levels. Only 8% of patients receive CGP-guided approved–experimental genomic biomarker-linked therapies, although the proportion has improved over time. Substantial differences were observed across tumor types, with the proportions exceeding 20% in thyroid and lung cancers but remaining below 2% in pancreatic and liver cancers. Tumor-agnostic biomarker analyses reveal that tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥20 mutations per megabase predicts better outcome across tumor types, regardless of microsatellite instability status, in TMB-high patients receiving pembrolizumab. Conversely, extramammary Pagetʼs disease is exceptionally resistant to pembrolizumab. The large-scale nationwide database allows evaluating inter-tumor type differences and investigating evidence-scarce situations, delineating where CGP offers greater benefit. These real-world findings complement those from clinical trials and prospective sequencing projects regarding CGP, providing valuable information for individualized treatment.
