The study aims include:
- Exploring potential predictive molecular profiles to immunotherapy/chemotherapy
- Investigating the role of circulating tumor DNA as a dynamic biomarker during immunotherapy/chemotherapy
- Identifying possible resistance mechanisms to immunotherapy/chemotherapy
Materials and methods:
Approximately 150 patients diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC assigned for immunotherapy or chemotherapy will be candidates for inclusion during a 1-2 years period.
A comprehensive molecular profiling will be made from the diagnostic biopsy. Before every treatment-cycle a blood sample will be taken to quantify ctDNA. At time of progressive disease during/after first line treatment, patients will be asked to participate in a new biopsy and a comprehensive molecular profiling will be performed.
The tissue and blood samples collected will be stored in a biobank. Clinical data will be collected to perform a comprehensive database.
Analysis:
Potentially predictive molecular profiles for immunotherapy/chemotherapy will be found by comparison of treatment outcome for patients with specific molecular characteristics.
Through quantification of ctDNA during treatment and upon progression, the role of ctDNA as a dynamic biomarker will be further strengthened.
Differences in molecular profiles pre- and post-treatment may reveal resistance mechanisms to treatment. Molecular profiling on progression can be valuable in second-line treatment guidance.
