Association Between RVT and Prognosis After Neoadjuvant Targeted Therapy in EGFR NSCLC

February 20, 2025 updated by: GuiBin Qiao, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital

Association Between Residual Viable Tumor and Prognosis After Neoadjuvant Targeted Therapy in EGFR-Mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

EGFR-mutated NSCLC is a distinct subtype that responds well to targeted therapies. Neoadjuvant targeted therapy aims to downstage tumors and improve surgical outcomes, but the prognostic role of residual viable tumor (RVT) remains unclear. This retrospective study examines the association between RVT and survival outcomes. The findings will further validate the importance of RVT as a surrogate.

Detailed Description

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations represents a molecularly distinct subset of lung cancer that benefits from targeted therapies. Neoadjuvant targeted therapy has emerged as a promising approach for locally advanced NSCLC, aiming to achieve tumor downstaging and improve surgical outcomes. However, the prognostic significance of residual viable tumor (RVT) after neoadjuvant targeted therapy remains poorly understood. This retrospective study investigates the association between the percentage of RVT and survival outcomes in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients following neoadjuvant targeted therapy. Specific survival outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS) and event-free survival (EFS). By highlighting RVT as a critical prognostic biomarker, the findings provide actionable insights for optimizing postoperative management and stratifying high-risk patients. This work underscores the need for pathological evaluation of RVT to refine prognosis and treatment strategies.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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
Disease-free survival (DFS)
Time Frame: Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the time from the date of surgery to the date of recurrence or last follow-up. Estimated final follow-up is 3 years postoperatively.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
