Key Points Question Can genome sequencing facilitate the molecular profiling of the patient's tumor to identify actionable and targetable alterations? Findings In this diagnostic study of 62 consecutive pediatric patients with hard-to-treat cancer who were enrolled in the TRICEPS study, incorporating multimodal genomic sequencing, including RNA sequencing, into the management of refractory or relapsed childhood and adolescent cancers identified potentially actionable alterations in 54 (87%) of patients. Meaning Molecular profiling may enable the identification of potentially actionable alterations with clinical implications for most patients tested, including targeted therapy and clinically relevant information of diagnostic, prognostic, and monitoring significance.
