About this study

Official title: Genomic Landscape of EGFR Mutant NSCLC Prior to Erlotinib and at the Time of Disease Progression Following Erlotinib

The investigators propose to conduct a pilot feasibility study of single agent erlotinib in patients with metastatic EGFR mutant adenocarcinoma of the lung with up to one prior treatment with the sole purpose of characterizing the genomic landscape before erlotinib and at the time of disease progression. The logistics of obtaining adequate quality fresh tissue specimens for sequencing studies before therapy and at the time of disease progression in patients with advanced lung cancer are complex and a thorough understanding of the practical challenges in conducting a study like this is crucial.

The current proposal will include exome and transcriptome sequencing from blood collected at baseline along with tumor samples obtained prior to starting erlotinib and at the time of disease progression (a total of two tissue samples and one blood sample per patient). If carried out successfully, the proposed strategy very likely will lead to a larger and adequately powered study to understand fully evolving molecular changes due to clonal selection under treatment pressure. The pace of progress in the field of sequencing technology currently underway is only likely to accelerate in the near future yielding richer and highly content-rich information. Moreover, it is likely that genomic information from DNA sequencing and transcriptome will be supplemented by analyses of translatomes and proteomes.

The investigators plan to sequence paired tumor specimens from 20 patients with EGFR mutant adenocarcinoma of the lung before treatment with erlotinib and at the time of disease progression following treatment with erlotinib. As the investigators expect some drop off (due to unexpected clinical events precluding a second biopsy at the time of disease progression, poor specimen quality and early discontinuation of therapy for non-progression), the investigators will enroll 40 patients in this trial to get 20-paired specimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genetic changes associated with disease progression following treatment with erlotinib in patients with activating mutations in the EGFR TK domain known to be responsive to therapy

    Exome and transcriptome sequencing of tumor before therapy with erlotinib and at the time of relapse. In addition, exome sequencing of peripheral blood DNA will be done (for germ line).

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlate mutations in signaling kinases with therapeutic response

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Correlate the allelic ratio of wild type to mutant EGFR with duration of response

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell-Lung and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2019. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genetic changes associated with disease progression following treatment with erlotinib in patients with activating mutations in the EGFR TK domain known to be responsive to therapy (time frame: Up to 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Jul 2019.
