Abstract:
e19313 Background: The Master Observational Trial (MOT) was recently created as a new master protocol that hybridizes the power of master interventional trials with the richness of real-world data (Cell, 2020). The MOT can be described as a series of prospective observational studies that are tied together through a common protocol, infrastructure, and organization. The MOT has broad application in many disease states but is particularly powerful in oncology. We herein expand our prior work to describe key details regarding how the MOT concept can fill multiple unmet needs in oncology. Methods: Through published information, white papers, and expert opinions we identified key unmet needs of oncology stakeholders. We reviewed the publicly available information of structure, organization, and data availability of the five largest genomic-outcome real-world data efforts. Common concerns included variability and reliability of biomarkers, the scientific rigor in real-world data, data silos, patient consent, and duplicated or disparate activities. We then determined how a specific application of the MOT in oncology could answer stakeholder concerns, integrate with current efforts, and also how to provide a model that would be equally valuable to academic and community clinics. Results: We identified significant scientific challenges with many of the current oncology real-world datasets in answering key concerns of stakeholders. We developed the Master Registry of Oncology Outcomes Associated with Testing and Treatment (ROOT) as the first national implementation of an oncology-centric MOT. We modeled how ROOT could fill scientific gaps in current data efforts and integrate with interventional and real-world efforts and help answer key concerns of stakeholders. We also identified solutions that would allow community and academic groups to participate in the same effort. Conclusions: An oncology-centric MOT has the potential to improve the quality of RWD in oncology and advance precision oncology in ways that are not fully addressed by current retrospective efforts.
