Implementing Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis at Initial Diagnosis to Improve Management of Advanced NSCLC Patients (CIRCULAR)

February 28, 2023 updated by: Institut Bergonié

Implementing Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis at Initial Diagnosis to Improve Management of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (NSCLC)

Multicenter prospective cohort study aiming to evaluate the detection rate of EGFR gene mutation in patients with advanced NSCLC in a real-word clinical setting, based on liquid biopsy and tissue analyses.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This a multicenter prospective cohort study. This study will be proposed to newly diagnosed advanced NSCLC patients. For included patients, archived paraffin embedded tumor tissue will be used for sequencing ; and blood sample will be collected for research purpose (plasma DNA collection and sequencing).

Both tissue and liquid biopsy samples will follow usual processes and will be sent to the Molecular Pathology laboratory of the Investigation center.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Screening
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: All patients

For all patients, blood sample will be collected at inclusion (liquid biopsy) for sequencing.

As per standard management, for all of these patients, EGFR gene mutation will be also analyzed on archived tumor sample.

Blood samples will be collected at inclusion for plasma DNA collection and analysis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To assess the detection rate of patients with an EGFR actionable alteration when using the combination of two diagnostic procedures which include liquid biopsy analysis (by droplet digital PCR or allele specific PCR) and tissue analysis
Time Frame: within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
Resuls of each EGFR diagnostic procedure will be categorized as EGFR positive in case of the presence of an EGFR actionnable alteration ; as EGFR negative in case of the absence of an EGFR actionnable alteration ; or nor interpretable. A patient will be considered to have an EGFR actionable alteration if the mutation has been detected on the sequencing of tumor tissue OR if it has been detected on the liquid biopsy procedure
within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The detection rate of patients with an EGFR actionable alteration based on the use of liquid biopsy analysis only
Time Frame: within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
A patient will be considered to have an EGFR actionable alteration (EGFR+) detected by the liquid biopsy analysis if an EGFR actionable alteration is identified based on the liquid biopsy analysis
within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
The detection rate of patients with an EGFR actionable alteration based on tissue analysis only
Time Frame: within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
A patient will be considered to have an EGFR actionable alteration (EGFR+) detected by tissue analysis if an EGFR actionable alteration is identified based on the sequencing of tumor tissue
within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
The concordance and discordance rates between the two procedures
Time Frame: within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
Concordance is defined whenever results of both techniques are identical (i.e. EGFR+ for both techniques or EGFR- for both techniques). Discordance is defined whenever results of both techniques are different.
within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
The failure rate for each procedure and reasons of failure (insufficient DNA quantity, poor DNA quality, insufficient tissue quantity, poor tissue quality, analytical failure)
Time Frame: within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent

Failure of a procedure (sequencing of tumor tissue or liquid biopsy) is defined whenever the procedure fails to provide an interpretable result (Reasons for failure will be collected, i.e. insufficient DNA quantity, poor DNA quality, insufficient DNA/tissue quantity, poor DNA/tissue quality, analytical failure)

within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
Delay to obtain sequencing results
Time Frame: within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
The delay between the date of the signature of the informed consent and the date of availability of the results for each procedure
within 3 weeks after signature of informed consent
Delay for treatment initiation
Time Frame: within 3 months after signature of informed consent
The delay between the date of sample collection and the date of treatment initiation
within 3 months after signature of informed consent
