Detailed Description

The goal of this study is two-fold: 1) Demonstrate feasibility of detection of EML4-ALK fusion transcripts in the circulation of NSCLC patients positive for ALK on tissue analysis, using an institutionally accepted assay; 2) Demonstrate feasibility of detection of T790M EGFR mutation in the circulation of NSCLC patients positive for T790M on tissue analysis, using an institutionally accepted assay.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ALK mutation by tissue assay.
Time Frame: Two years
Patients found to be positive for ALK mutation by tissue assay. ALK fusions in samples will be considered binary - positive or negative/ not assessable. 2x2 table will be constructed to determine concordance with tissue testing.
Two years
T790M EGFR mutation by tissue assay
Time Frame: Two years
Patients found to be positive for T790M EGFR mutation by tissue assay. ALK fusions in samples will be considered binary - positive or negative/ not assessable. 2x2 table will be constructed to determine concordance with tissue testing.
