About this study

A small proportion of lung cancers are hereditary, i.e. caused by a constitutional pathogenic variant (PV). EGFR " Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor " is a major cancer predisposing gene, mainly via the T790M variant. The study aims to collect French national data on EGFR pathogenic variant carriers (affected and unaffected), in order to better characterise the associated phenotypes.

A retrospective, multicenter cohort study will be carried out. The study aims to include 20 to 25 patients identified as EGFR pathogenic variant carriers between 2018 and 2024. Data will be gathered from either paper or electronic patient files from the Oncogenetics clinics or laboratory. Eligible patients will be informed and given a possibility to opt out. Of note, all previously signed a consent form for genetic testing. Each participating centre will be responsible for transcribing the pseudonymised data from its patients' medical records into a secure Excel file unique to each centre. The anonymized data obtained from the patient files will be electronically stored in a secure document accessible only to the principal investigator and a maximum of two close collaborators involved in the study. Data will be sent by participating centres to investigators from the Medical Genetics Department at APHP Sorbonne via the secure national RENATER platform for analysis.

A Simple description of the cohort, e.g. mean/median age, proportion and type of somatic changes, prevalence of smoking will be done.

Read the detailed description

A small proportion of lung cancers, particularly adenocarcinomas, is hereditary. Hereditary lung cancers occur in individuals with a genetic predisposition to the disease. It is important to remember that a proportion of non-small cell lung cancers develop in never smokers, illustrating the importance of other risk factors, such as pollution, radon or genetic factors. The overall proportion of hereditary lung adenocarcinomas is low, probably around 1%. On a French national scale, this still represents a few hundred cases per year.

EGFR is now an established susceptibility gene. EGFR variants are best known as somatic variants, as markers of sensitivity or resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).EGFR T790M, in particular, is usually an acquired variant seen in patients exposed to 1st and 2nd-generation tirosine kinase inihibitors (erlotinib, gefitinib, afatinib). But it is also sometimes constitutional, in which case it is somatically observed at diagnosis, when the patient has not be prescribed a TKI yet. Our research aims to gather data on French EGFR pathogenic variant carriers, i.e, index cases and relatives (affected and unaffected), and to describe the related phenotypes.

A retrospective, multicenter cohort study will be carried out,. The study aims to include 20 to 25 EGFR pathogenic variant carriers identified as such between 2018 and 2024. Data will be gathered from either paper or electronic patient files from the Oncogenetics clinic or laboratory, Eligible patients will be informed and given a possibility to opt out, in conformity with French legal requirements. Of note, all previously signed a consent form for genetic testing. . Each participating centre will be responsible for transcribing the pseudonymised data from its patients' medical records into a secure Excel file unique to each centre. The anonymized data obtained from the patient files will be electronically stored in a secure document accessible only to the principal investigator and a maximum of two close collaborators involved in the study. Data will be sent by participating centres to investigators from the Medical Genetics Department at APHP Sorbonne via the secure national RENATER platform.

Descriptive statistics will be done to describe the cohort's characeristics, e.g. mean/median age, proportion and type of somatic changes, prevalence of smoking in order to better characterize the phenotypes associated with EGFR.

Individual data sharing
Yes: The procedures carried out with the French data privacy authority (CNIL) do not provide for the transmission of the database, nor do the information and consent documents signed by the patients. Consultation by the editorial board or interested researchers of individual participant data that underlie the results reported in the article after deidentification may nevertheless be considered, subject to prior determination of the terms and conditions of such consultation and in respect for compliance with the applicable regulations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bronchopulmonary Cancers and Constitutional EGFR, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Patrick BENUSIGLIO, Dr (01.42.17.76.59, patrick.benusiglio@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

average/median, proportion and type of somatic disorders, prevalence of smoking (time frame: Through out study 12 months). 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 3 Jul 2025.
