The purpose of this study is to prospectively validate treatment benefit of an individualized treatment concept based on molecular profiling (MP) from paraffin-embedded tumor tissue sections obtained before the start of treatment (real time biopsy).
The treatment concept will be considered to be of clinical benefit for the individual patient if a progression-free survival (PFS) ratio (PFS on MP-based therapy / best PFS achieved by prior therapy) will be \> 1.0 thus generating a patient cohort with this very property. Thereby, the null hypothesis (that ≤ 40 % of this patient population would have a PFS ratio of \> 1.0) will be evaluated with each patient being his own control. For tumor types with high numbers of patients per cohort, the overall response rate (ORR) will be evaluated.
