Scalable clinical proteomics from DNA/RNA extraction flowthroughs enables integrated proteogenomic profiling from a single cancer biopsy.
Article in Clinical proteomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPrecision oncology has largely relied on genomic and transcriptomic sequencing to guide therapy selection in patients with advanced cancer. However, these molecular layers do not fully capture the functional state of tumors, as proteins largely represent the active effectors of cellular processes and signaling pathways. Integrating proteomic and phosphoproteomic measurements with genomic data has therefore emerged as an important objective in translational oncology. In routine clinical workflows, tumor biopsies are frequently processed using DNA/RNA extraction kits such as the Qiagen AllPrep system, which generates a protein-rich flowthrough that is typically discarded.
methodsHere we systematically evaluated whether the residual protein fraction generated during Qiagen AllPrep DNA/RNA extraction can serve as a reliable source for mass spectrometry-based proteomics in clinical tumor biopsies. Within the Copenhagen Prospective Personalized Oncology (CoPPO) precision oncology trial, residual protein fractions from metastatic cancer biopsies were recovered, precipitated, and processed using optimized workflows for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. We established procedures for protein recovery, digestion, and peptide cleanup, and evaluated multiple acquisition strategies including data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA). We further assessed sample stability during long-term storage, analytical reproducibility, scalability, and compatibility with phosphoproteomics.
resultsOptimized single-shot workflows consistently generated deep proteomes from AllPrep-derived biopsy material, quantifying more than 10,000 protein groups in DIA analyses. Protein integrity was preserved in samples stored at - 80 °C for up to five years. The resulting proteomes retained tissue-associated biological signatures and quantified protein products corresponding to approximately 71% of genes represented on the FoundationOne
conclusionsResidual protein fractions from Qiagen AllPrep DNA/RNA extraction provide a scalable resource for deep proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling from the same biopsy used for genomic and transcriptomic analyses. This workflow enables integrated proteogenomic characterization from a single clinical sample and provides a framework for integrated proteogenomic studies in precision oncology.
