About this study

Official title: Targeting EGFR in Lung Cancer: Role of EGFR Mutation State and Bypass Routes in Drug Response and Resistance

The PRECISE-EGFR study is a prospective, observational project designed to generate patient-derived in vitro models (cell cultures and organoids) from individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying EGFR mutations. These models will be used to evaluate sensitivity to different anti-EGFR therapies and explore mechanisms of drug resistance.

Using residual biological samples collected during routine clinical practice, the study will not interfere with patient care. Researchers will also compare the molecular characteristics of the models with the original tumors to ensure reliability.

The overall aim is to improve precision oncology approaches, identifying the most effective treatments for specific EGFR mutation subtypes while minimizing toxicity and resistance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Generate in vitro cellular models derived from tumors of patients with NSCLC carrying EGFR mutations, using residual biological samples, to be used for evaluating sensitivity to anti-EGFR drugs.

    The primary objective is to generate in vitro cellular models derived from tumors of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations, using residual biological samples, to be used for evaluating sensitivity to anti-EGFR drugs.

    Measured: Throughout the study, 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Degree of molecular concordance between the original tumor and derived models

    Compare the molecular characteristics of the obtained models with those of the original tumor in order to verify their biological concordance.

    Measured: Throughout the study, 3 years

  2. Variation in cell viability in in vitro models following treatment with anti-EGFR drugs

    To explore, in an exploratory manner, the in vitro response to anti-EGFR drugs in relation to the type of EGFR mutation.

    Measured: Throughout the study, 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and EGFR Gene Mutation, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS.

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 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2026. 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?

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 EMILIO BRIA, Prof. (+39 0630156318, emilio.bria@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Generate in vitro cellular models derived from tumors of patients with NSCLC carrying EGFR mutations, using residual biological samples, to be used for evaluating sensitivity to anti-EGFR drugs. (time frame: Throughout the study, 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 13 Jul 2026.
