NGS Screening Protocol to Detect Mutation of KEAP1 or NRF2/NFE2L2 Genes for the KEAPSAKE (CX-839-014) Trial

Terminated
Conditions
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
NFE2L2 Gene Mutation
KEAP1 Gene Mutation
NRF2 Mutation
Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Neoplasm of Lung
Non-squamous Non-small-cell Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT04698681
Lead Sponsor
Calithera Biosciences, Inc
Brief Summary

This is a multicenter screening protocol designed to identify patients with NSCLC who have tumor mutations in the KEAP1 or NRF2/NFE2L2 genes in order to determine potential eligibility for a biomarker selected clinical trial (CX-839-014, otherwise known as the KEAPSAKE trial). Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) present in blood samples collected from eligible patients will be analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS) for selected biomarkers. A commercial liquid biopsy NGS test will be provided to study participants free of charge.
