About this study

Official title: Track and Treat in NSCLC (TATIN) - ctDNA Guided Treatment of Early Resistance to Targeted Treatment in Patients With EGFR Positive NSCLC

The current strategy is to test for treatment resistance at the time of radiological progression and design subsequent treatment based on the mechanism of resistance. However, upon disease progression patients tend to deteriorate quickly and 30% - 40% of patients will not be in the clinical condition to receive next line treatment. Therefore, there is a potential for early resistance identification and directing treatment against it in order to improve patient outcome.

Read the detailed description

Next Generation Sequence (NGS) technology rapidly evolves and it is now feasible to use circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a BioSource for comprehensive analysis of the molecular make up of tumors. ctDNA based techniques are able to detect the emergence of drug resistance mechanisms with high sensitivity and prior to radiological progression (12-14). This technique might identify drug resistant clones before subclonal resistance (resistance of the new clone to targeted treatment) develops and allow to eliminate the new clone with short-term additional treatment, while continuing treatment of the main oncogenic driver (EGFR exon 19 del / exon 21 L858R) with the EGFR TKI. Continuous ctDNA based monitoring will reveal the success of the additional treatment and in case the follow-up ctDNA sample shows elimination of the EGFR TKI resistant clone, the add-on treatment will be discontinued. Continuous ctDNA based monitoring might identify a new resistant clone at a later point in time and temporary treatment of this clone can be initiated. The EGFR TKI will remain the backbone of therapy and will not be discontinued (see treatment strategy 1 in Figure 3).

This continuous track and treat strategy could potentially lead to a better outcome. In this study the investigators will track all known EGFR TKI resistance mechanisms over time and select one (MET amplification) for the track and treat strategy.

Treatment strategy 1: Track and treat strategy. ctDNA based resistance monitoring. As soon as a resistant clone is detected with ctDNA, treatment will be added to the EGFR TKI. ctDNA will be continuously screened for resistant clones. Upon disappearance of the resistant clone, add-on treatment will be discontinued, while the EGFR TKI will be continued at any time. Multiple resistance mechanisms can be treated serially.

Treatment strategy 2: routine care. Treatment with an EGFR TKI will be continued until radiological progression.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ctDNA blood sampleDiagnostic test

    every six weeks during treatment and upon radiological progression blood will be drawn to analyse ctDNA with Avenio ctDNA (Expanded panel) to detect all known EGFR TKI resistance mechanisms.

Study groups in NCT04148066
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Osimertinib and CrizotinibOtherOsimertinib will be administered according to label: 80 mg once daily. Crizotinib will only be prescribed upon detection of MET amplification using ctDNA. Crizotinib will be administered according to label: 250 mg bi-daily.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: ctDNA blood sample

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of patients in which a drug resistant clone can be detected with ctDNA

    To identify the percentage of patients in which a drug resistant clone can be detected with ctDNA before the emergence of radiological progression.

    Measured: Trough study completion, an average of 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the success rate of crizotinib and osimertinib combination treatment to eliminate MET amplification

    To determine the success rate of crizotinib and osimertinib combination treatment to eliminate MET amplification, defined by disappearance of the MET amplification clone in a subsequent ctDNA sample.

    Measured: Trough study completion, an average of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ctDNA blood sample in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

percentage of patients in which a drug resistant clone can be detected with ctDNA (time frame: Trough study completion, an average of 2 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 10 Oct 2023.
