About this study

Official title: Liquid Biopsies in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this project is to characterize the genetic profile of patients with advanced stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using liquid biopsies

Read the detailed description

Lung cancers are the first cause of death by cancer in the world. The majority of these patients are diagnosed at a late stage, non-eligible to a curative treatment. Due to tumoral genomic identification, it has been possible to classify NSCLC in molecular subtypes according to molecular abnormalities detection called "drivers" which can be targeted using an appropriate treatment. This change modifies the standard treatments from the very first line of treatment particularly for patients having an EGFR mutation or an ALK or ROS1 rearrangement, with a significant benefit of progression free survival. The French NCI (INCa) recommends to identify genomic alterations of a genes panel including EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, HER2, ALK and ROS1 as well as mutations in MET exon 14. However, all the patients who benefit from a targeted therapy develop resistance after a mean duration of 10-12 months after starting the treatment. In case of progression, the tumour genetic analysis through new biopsies, enables to identify these mechanisms and then to determine if the patient can benefit or not from a third generation molecule active on these mechanisms, and to have a better understanding of the disease evolution.

The detection of these alterations is routinely performed using tissular biopsies but in 10 to 20% of the cases, it is not possible.

The detection of these molecular abnormalities in the plasma, called " liquid biopsy " is a valuable non-invasive complementary approach for these patients. It is presently used in routine for detecting the EGFR mutations at diagnosis as well as for searching EGFR T790M mutation for resistant patients.

The liquid biopsies enable to detect circulating tumoral DNA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of the genetic profile in advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients using liquid biopsies (circulating tumoral DNA)

    Technique: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Identification of genetic biomarkers (or molecular profiles) having a potential predictive value in the treatments response

    Techniques: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Detection of the ALK and ROS1 genes translocations in the circulating DNA

    Techniques: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Evaluation of the liquid biopsies role in the tumoral monitoring

    Correlation between mutated allelic fractions or expression's modification with the treatment response. Techniques: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Evaluation of genomic and transcriptomic factors detectable in the plasma, associated to the immunotherapy response

    Correlation between transcriptomic and genomic factors and response to immunotherapy. Techniques: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Evaluation of the spatial and temporal tumor heterogeneity under targeted therapy treatment

    Techniques: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

  6. Evaluation of the miRNAs' expression in plasma as an epigenetic factor associated to treatments response

    Correlation between miRNAS expression in plasma and treatment's efficacy. Techniques: miRNAs profiling using HTG technology

  7. Circulating tumoral cells isolation and analysis to determine the role of non-genomic and/or phenotypic factors in the treatments response.

    Single cell isolation technology

    Measured: 5 years

  8. Evaluation of the resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies

    Technique: ddPCR + targeted NGF, whole exome sequencing

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Centre Leon Berard at 8 sites in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Pierre Saintigny, MD, PhD (pierre.saintigny@lyon.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of the genetic profile in advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients using liquid biopsies (circulating tumoral DNA) (time frame: 5 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 21 Aug 2024.
