Ablative Therapy of Oligometastatic Tumor After Response to Conventional First Line Treatment

Advancements in systemic antineoplastic therapies have led to improved overall survival rates for many solid tumors. However, metastatic disease remains a significant challenge and remains the leading cause of mortality for these patients. Additionally, there is a high attrition rate after first-line standard treatment across various tumor types, with studies indicating that 20-70% of patients may be unable to undergo second-line therapy, depending on the tumor type.

This highlights an urgent need to enhance outcomes from the first line of treatment. Although first-line therapy often represents the best available option, most patients experience relapse and disease progression despite an initial tumor response. This is attributed to both intrinsic and acquired resistance arising from the heterogeneity of primary tumors and metastases. To address this issue, metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) has been explored as a way to reduce tumor burden and mitigate the risk of resistance due to therapeutic selective pressure.

MDT offers a promising opportunity to improve first-line treatment outcomes, but more precise patient selection criteria are needed to maximize therapeutic benefit and minimize the potential toxicity of ablative therapies. Indeed, despites its efficacy, fatal complication may occur so do grade 3 to 4 toxicities. Toxicity depends of the local ablative therapy (LAT) planned but as it will never be none, oncologists have to propose invasive treatment to patient that may benefit the most.

Based on the published data, the investigators propose a pragmatic, selective approach centered on sensitivity to systemic therapy. The investigators aim to evaluate the benefit of local ablative therapy (LAT) in patients who demonstrate non-progressive disease after three months of first-line standard of care. Given the importance of this question across cancer subtypes, the investigators will employ a prospective database to enroll patients with various solid tumor type, excluding the ones for which the impact of LAT has already been explored or may be difficult to achieve. Outcomes of this strategy will be evaluated compared to outcomes from pivotal studies defining optimal standard first line therapy (OST) .

Several analyses will be performed to better characterize the population for whom a multimodal approach may significantly improve their survival. The first one will aim to compare the median duration of response (mDOR) of the population treated with LAT compared to the mDOR reported by the pivotal study(ies) of each OST.

This study will serve as a proof of concept, supporting chemosensitivity as a viable selection factor for multimodal treatment in a broad range of cancer types.

Primary objective:

Improvement of the duration of response (DOR) after completion of LAT compared to DOR reported in pivotal study that evaluated first line OST.

Secondary objectives:

* Evaluation of the safety of the addition of LAT. * Evaluation of overall progression free survival (PFS) and PFS at 1 year. * Evaluation of overall survival from OST start and from the time of LAT completion. * Documentation of acceptance and compliance to LAT decision by the institutional expert committee
