Investigation on Predictive Molecular Markers of Efficacy for Front-line Immunochemotherapy in Advanced NSCLC

April 22, 2021 updated by: Zhou Chengzhi

Investigation on Molecular Markers Associated With the Clinical Efficacy of Immunotherapy Combined With Chemotherapy in the First-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Non-small-cell Lung Cancer

This project is a real-world exploratory study aiming to explore potential molecular markers detectable at baseline that can enable the prediction of clinical efficacy of front-line immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to include a total of 200 treatment-naïve patients initially diagnosed with advanced NSCLC. Paired tissue and blood samples collected from all patients before the start of immunochemotherapy treatment (baseline) will be analyzed. The patient samples will be submitted for molecular analysis, including next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based gene expression profiling (GEP) and inflammation-related T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire profiling. The molecular assay results will include but will not be limited to tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI) status, DNA damage repair (DDR)-related gene mutation status, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression level. Patients will be followed-up for treatment responses until radiological confirmation of disease progression to first-line immunochemotherapy. The molecular assay results will then be analyzed with clinical data including objective responses and progression-free survival outcomes, among others, to identify molecular markers at baseline that are associated with clinical efficacy of immunochemotherapy.

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.

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.
