TailorDose Lung: Decentralized TDM of Taxanes and ALK Inhibitors Using Capillary Self-Sampling (TD-Lung)

10. září 2026 aktualizováno: Elham Hedayati, Karolinska Institutet

Decentralized Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Taxanes and ALK Inhibitors in NSCLC: A Real-World Feasibility Study Using the True Dose Capillary Self-Sampling System

This study will evaluate whether people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can collect small blood samples themselves using a finger-prick sampling kit. Participants will be receiving standard treatment with docetaxel, paclitaxel, alectinib, or lorlatinib.

The blood samples will be used to measure the amount of cancer medicine in the blood. Most samples will be collected by participants at home and returned to a laboratory for analysis. The study will assess how easy the sampling method is to use, whether the collected samples are suitable for laboratory analysis, and how patients and healthcare professionals experience this way of collecting blood samples.

The study will also explore whether measured drug levels are related to side effects, dose changes, treatment delays, or other clinical outcomes. The drug-level results collected in this study will be used for research purposes and will not be used to change participants' cancer treatment.

About 80 participants will take part in the study and will be followed for approximately 3 months.

The microsampling device is CE-marked and used within its approved use exclusively for research and feasibility evaluation. Study results do not influence ongoing clinical treatment decisions.

This study is being conducted as part of Project-COMFORT, a European multi-country initiative aiming to evaluate the feasibility and implementation of PCmS across various populations and healthcare systems.

Detailní popis

This prospective, non-interventional feasibility and implementation study evaluates decentralized therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) using capillary self-sampling in adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving standard-of-care treatment with docetaxel, paclitaxel, alectinib, or lorlatinib. The study focuses on the feasibility, usability, and implementation of patient-centric microsampling in routine oncology care.

Participants will be trained to collect a small capillary whole-blood sample using a finger prick. Samples will be collected mainly at home and returned by mail for laboratory analysis. Sampling schedules are adapted to the treatment received. For participants receiving taxanes, capillary samples are collected at defined time points after infusion. For participants receiving ALK inhibitors, samples are collected at home in relation to the scheduled oral dose.

The primary focus of the study is whether participants can successfully perform capillary self-sampling and whether the returned samples are suitable for laboratory analysis. Participant experience, usability, need for assistance, and practical aspects of integrating home-based sampling into oncology care will also be evaluated. Qualitative interviews or focus groups with patients and healthcare professionals will explore barriers and facilitators to implementation and the potential impact of decentralized sampling on clinical workflows.

Drug concentrations will be measured for research purposes. Exploratory analyses will examine associations between drug exposure and clinical measures such as treatment-related toxicity, dose modifications or delays, hospital visits, and clinical response when available. In participants with both capillary and venous samples, the relationship between concentrations measured using the two sampling methods may also be evaluated.

Participants will continue to receive their prescribed cancer treatment according to standard clinical practice. The study does not introduce an investigational medicinal product, randomize participants, or require treatment changes based on study measurements. Drug concentration results obtained through capillary self-sampling will not be used to guide treatment decisions during the study.

Experimentální: Taxane Cohort
Participants with non-small cell lung cancer receiving standard-of-care treatment with docetaxel or paclitaxel will use the True Dose® capillary self-sampling system for collection of blood samples for therapeutic drug monitoring research. Participants will perform capillary sampling at predefined time points following taxane administration. Study drug concentration results will not be used to guide treatment decisions.
The True Dose® capillary self-sampling system is a patient-centric microsampling system that enables collection of approximately 50 µL of capillary whole blood using a finger prick. Participants are trained to perform capillary blood collection, primarily at home, and samples are returned by mail for laboratory analysis of drug concentrations. The study evaluates the feasibility, usability, and sample suitability of decentralized capillary self-sampling for therapeutic drug monitoring. Results from study-specific drug concentration measurements will be used for research purposes and will not be used to guide participants' cancer treatment.
Experimentální: ALK Inhibitor Cohort
Participants with non-small cell lung cancer receiving standard-of-care treatment with alectinib or lorlatinib will use the True Dose® capillary self-sampling system for collection of blood samples for therapeutic drug monitoring research. Capillary samples will be collected at home in relation to the participant's regular oral treatment. Study drug concentration results will not be used to guide treatment decisions.
