Official Title: | A Prospective Study Of Immune Signatures In Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (mNSCLC) Patients After Completion Of Pembrolizumab Either As Monotherapy Or In Combination With Chemotherapy In The First Line Setting |
Actual Study Start Date : | January 17, 2023 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | November 2024 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | November 2024 |

Group/Cohort | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Single Arm
Biomarkers and ctDNA data generated from patients with metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma who have completed first line pembrolizumab monotherapy or pembrolizumab-platinum doublet combination therapy, and have completed at least 85% of planned doses of pembrolizumab.
|
Other: Blood and tissue samples
Blood and tissue will be collected to perform ctDNA and immune biomarkers assessment to predict progression within 6 months of pembrolizumab discontinuation. |
- Disease progression status for the purpose of assessing its correlation with ctDNA measured at 0 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion [ Time Frame: 6 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion ]Disease progression status determined by the treating investigator per standard care
- Disease progression status for the purpose of assessing its correlation with circulating effector T cell anergy at 0 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion [ Time Frame: 6 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion ]Disease progression status determined by the treating investigator per standard care
- Disease progression status for the purpose of assessing its correlation with the rate of effector to central memory T cell conversion at 0 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion [ Time Frame: 6 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion ]Disease progression status determined by the treating investigator per standard care
- Disease progression status for the purpose of assessing its correlation with clonal circulating T cell diversity at 0 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion [ Time Frame: 6 months after pembrolizumab treatment completion ]Disease progression status determined by the treating investigator per standard care
