About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Neural Network-based Treatment Decision Support Tool in Patients With Refractory Solid Organ Malignancies

DRUID is a treatment decision support tool combining predictive models and public databases related to multi-gene markers, drug response screens, gene essentiality and clinical status of drugs to provide drug recommendations personalized based on an input genomic profile. We hypothesize that DRUID analysis of patients' somatic mutational profile from NGS diagnostic platform can be used as a treatment decision support tool in patients with refractory cancer without targetable mutations.

Read the detailed description

2.1. Hypothesis We hypothesize that DRUID analysis of patients' somatic mutational profile from NGS diagnostic platform can be used as a treatment decision support tool in patients with refractory cancer without targetable mutations. Using algorithm selected treatment from a panel of 60 drugs we predict an objective response rate (ORR) of ≥ 25%.

2.2. Primary Objectives

  • To prospectively determine if DRUID selected therapy based on NGS diagnostic profile input can lead to objective responses in refractory solid organ malignancies.

2.3. Secondary Objectives

  • To assess clinical benefit rate (complete response, partial response and stable disease for ≥ 24 weeks)
  • To assess progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with DRUID-guided therapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Patients will begin single agent therapy within 4 weeks of enrolment and continue until disease progression, maximum safe cumulative dose reached (where applicable, per standard institution practice) or unacceptable toxicity as per physician's discretion.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DRUIDExperimentalPatients NGS profile will be analysed with DRUID system to generate recommendations based on predicted efficacy. Patients with available archival tissue will have gene expression analysis performed to optimise DRUID recommendation. Patients will subsequently receive single agent therapy based on DRUID recommendations and criteria for therapy choice.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Defined as patient exhibiting a best study response of complete or partial clinical response based on radiological imaging per RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: 10 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical benefit

    Defined as presence of best study response of complete or partial response or stable disease for at least 24 weeks (based on RECIST 1.1 criteria).

    Measured: 10 months

  2. Progression free survival

    Defined as the time from the date of study enrolment to the first date of documented disease progression.

    Measured: From enrolment till disease progression or date of death or final follow-up visit (1 year).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DRUID AI Program in people with Solid Organ Malignancies, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 21 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Singapore. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Robert John Walsh (69082222, robert_walsh@nuhs.edu.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: 10 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05719428, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
