# Clinical Data Query Guide

## Overview
Clinical data in cBioPortal is stored at both patient and sample levels. Understanding the distinction is crucial for accurate analysis.

## Data Organization

### Patient-Level vs Sample-Level Data
- **Patient-level**: Demographics, overall survival, disease stage (stored once per patient)
- **Sample-level**: Sample type, sequencing platform, purity (can have multiple per patient)

### Key Tables
- `clinical_patient`: Patient-level clinical attributes
- `clinical_sample`: Sample-level clinical attributes
- `clinical_data_derived`: Pre-joined view combining both levels
- `clinical_attribute_meta`: Metadata about available clinical attributes

## Recommended Approach: Use clinical_data_derived

The `clinical_data_derived` table is pre-joined and optimized for most queries:

```sql
-- Get clinical data for specific attributes
SELECT
    sample_unique_id,
    patient_unique_id,
    attribute_name,
    attribute_value
FROM clinical_data_derived
WHERE
    cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
    AND attribute_name IN ('CANCER_TYPE', 'SAMPLE_TYPE', 'TMB_NONSYNONYMOUS');
```

## Clinical Attribute Discovery

### Use clinical_attribute_meta for Discovering Available Attributes
**Always start here** to see what clinical attributes are available for a specific study:

```sql
-- Discover available clinical attributes for a study
SELECT
    attr_id,
    description,
    patient_attribute,
    cancer_study_id
FROM clinical_attribute_meta
WHERE
    cancer_study_id = (
        SELECT cancer_study_id
        FROM cancer_study
        WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
    )
ORDER BY patient_attribute, attr_id;
```

**Key Fields:**
- **attr_id**: matches attr_id in clinical_sample/clinical_patient tables
- **description**: human-readable description of the attribute
- **patient_attribute**: true = patient attribute, false = sample attribute
- **cancer_study_id**: links to cancer_study table (filter by study)

## Attribute Semantics and Matching

### Case-Insensitive Matching for Attribute Values

Clinical values are free text across studies and may differ only by case. For example, a controlled-looking value such as germline mutation status may appear as `GERMLINE`, `Germline`, or another case variant.

When filtering `clinical_data_derived.attribute_value`, use case-insensitive matching unless you have already profiled the exact values in the target study:

```sql
-- Correct: case-insensitive clinical value filter
SELECT DISTINCT sample_unique_id, patient_unique_id
FROM clinical_data_derived
WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
  AND attribute_name = 'MUTATION_STATUS'
  AND upper(attribute_value) = 'GERMLINE';
```

Do not write `attribute_value = 'GERMLINE'` without first checking all distinct values for that attribute in the study.

### Query the Requested Attribute, Not a Proxy

Do not infer one clinical attribute from a related subtype or marker. Query the actual requested attribute when it … (17073 more chars)

# MSK-CHORD (MSK, Nature 2024)

**Study ID:** `msk_chord_2024`

## Overview
Targeted sequencing via MSK-IMPACT panels. Clinical annotations include some derived from natural language processing (denoted NLP).

**Exactly five cancer types** (`CANCER_TYPE`, patients): Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer 7,809, Colorectal Cancer 5,543, Breast Cancer 5,368, Prostate Cancer 3,211, Pancreatic Cancer 3,109. There is **no melanoma** or any other cancer type; say so up front if asked, instead of substituting another type.

**No therapy-response variable.** There is no RECIST, objective response, or best-response attribute or event. For treatment-outcome questions (e.g. immunotherapy response), say this first; the only proxies are `OS_MONTHS`/`OS_STATUS`, or NLP radiology progression events (`Diagnosis` events with `SUBTYPE = 'Progression'`, key `PROGRESSION` = Y/N/Indeterminate), in patients with `Treatment` events of the relevant `SUBTYPE` (e.g. `Immuno`: 3,341 patients). Hand off the comparison to cBioPortal group comparison / survival.

**Nearly one sample per patient: 24,950 patients / 25,040 samples.** Only 90 patients have more than one sample, and all 90 have samples from two different cancer types (second primaries); only 26 have both a `Primary` and a `Metastasis` sample. There is no meaningful same-patient (paired) primary-vs-metastasis cohort. For "same patient" / paired questions, say this up front, then offer the **unpaired** comparison of all `Primary` vs `Metastasis` samples (`SAMPLE_TYPE`), labelled as unpaired.
```sql
SELECT countIf(n > 1) AS multi_sample_patients,         -- 90
       countIf(has_p AND has_m) AS primary_and_met      -- 26
FROM (SELECT patient_unique_id, count() AS n,
             has(groupArray(attribute_value), 'Primary') AS has_p,
             has(groupArray(attribute_value), 'Metastasis') AS has_m
      FROM clinical_data_derived
      WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'msk_chord_2024' AND attribute_name = 'SAMPLE_TYPE'
      GROUP BY patient_unique_id);
```

## Gene Panels
This study uses multiple MSK-IMPACT panel versions:
- **IMPACT341**: Earlier version, 341 genes
- **IMPACT410**: 410 genes
- **IMPACT468**: 468 genes  
- **IMPACT505**: Latest version, 505 genes

**Important:** Different samples may have different gene coverage. Always use gene-specific denominators when calculating mutation frequencies.

## Study with genuine longitudinal sampling

**[Breast Cancer (MSK, Nature Cancer 2020)](https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=breast_alpelisib_2020)** — 51 patients, 141 samples — was designed specifically to track resistance mechanisms to the PI3K inhibitor alpelisib, using **serial pre-treatment, on-treatment, and post-treatment biopsies and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) liquid biopsies** from the same patients.

*(Note: I first checked MSK-CHORD, which is often cited as a large longitudinal cohort, but confirmed only 26 of its ~25,000 patients actually have both a primary and metastatic sample from the same cancer — not a true paired time-course. The alpelisib study is a better match for what you're asking about.)*

### Example patient with multiple samples over time: P-0001990 (P047)

| Sample | Specimen type | Timepoint |
|---|---|---|
| T01-IM3 | Tumor (metastatic biopsy) | Pre-treatment |
| Pre1-cfDNA | cfDNA (blood draw) | Pre-treatment |
| Pre2-cfDNA | cfDNA (blood draw) | Pre-treatment |
| On-cfDNA | cfDNA (blood draw) | On-treatment |
| Post-cfDNA | cfDNA (blood draw) | Post-treatment |

This lets you track how the tumor's genomic profile (e.g., PIK3CA, ESR1 mutations) evolved from before alpelisib exposure through to progression, using both tissue and liquid biopsy.

The Patient View page shows the clinical timeline alongside mutation, copy-number, and structural variant tables for each of the five samples side by side.
