PDL-1 Expression on Circulating Tumor Cells in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (IMMUNO-PREDICT)

August 25, 2023 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse

Feasibility Study of PD-L1 Expression Analysis on Circulating Tumor Cells by Immunocytochemistry and MDSCs Level Evolution Analysis in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With PD-L1 or PD1 Inhibitor

Immunotherapy is probably, since the development of therapies targeting EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangement, the most attractive therapeutic perspective in the management of metastatic lung cancer. Among the compounds tested, the inhibitors of the immune checkpoint PROGRAMME DEATH 1 / PROGRAMME DEATH LIGAND 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) have been tested in numerous clinical trials with recently published positive results leading to the approval of one drug in the USA and an expanded access program for two drugs in France. PROGRAMME DEATH LIGAND 1 (PD-L1) expression by tumor cells is strongly associated with the response to such molecules so that the participation in various clinical trials is currently reserved for patients expressing this biomarker and therefore justifies a new invasive biopsy (bronchoscopic or CT-guided) representing a considerable drag on the access to these treatments. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated by Isolation by Size of Tumor Cells (ISET) offer a direct and non-invasive access to the tumor. It has already been demonstrated that molecular characterization (EGFR, ALK) on these blood samples is possible. We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of the analysis PDL-1 expression in these cells by immunocytochemistry.

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells that inhibit T cell functions and thus promote tumor growth. These cells frequently express PD-L1. We propose to test whether MDSCs level and its evolution during treatment with PD1 inhibitor is correlated to the response to these drugs.

The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of the analysis of PD-L1 expression on CTC

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer

Intervention to be done are :

- Blood sample collection for CTC and MDSC analysis
Biological: blood sample collection for CTC and MDSC analysis
  • Isolation of circulating tumor cells from 2 tubes by ISET filtration module. Peripheral blood samples will be collected for CTC analysis within 7 days before commencing treatment (defined as baseline) and following four cycles of immunotherapy,
  • Analysis of PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression by immunocytochemistry on CTC
  • Analysis of the expression of PD-L1, PD-L2 , CTLA4 on the histological specimen by immunohistochemistry

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of analysis of PDL-1 expression on circulating tumor cells as assessed by immunocytochemistry analysis
Time Frame: Through the end of study (12 months)
Prior to immunotherapy, after four cycle of immunotherapy
Through the end of study (12 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of CTC expressing PD-L1 after four cycle of immunotherapy as assessed by immunocytochemistry analysis
Time Frame: Through the end of study (12 months)
Prior to immunotherapy, after four cycle of immunotherapy
