Pathogenic Variants in Genes Associated With Lung Adenocarcinoma

Recruiting

• Conditions: Lung Adenocarcinoma

• Registration Number: NCT06181812
• Lead Sponsor: Oscar Gerardo Arrieta Rodríguez

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to describe the prevalence of germ line-pathogenic variants in Mexican patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the prevalence of pathogenic variants in genes associated with lung adenocarcinoma in Mexican patients younger than fifty?

2. Which clinical-pathological characteristics are associated with germ-line pathogenic variants in patients with lung adenocarcinoma?

3. How actionable somatic mutations are associated with germ line-pathogenic variants of patients with lung adenocarcinoma?

Participants will be asked to sign an informed consent; after that, they will be instructed to donate 10 ml of peripheral blood by venipuncture in the morning and before the patient has taken morning medication and the first meal, following a period of 8-12 hr fasting.

Detailed Description

This is an observational, descriptive, and longitudinal study.

The sample size was calculated with a proportion difference formula for a known population, considering the Local Institutional Personalized Medicine Laboratory tests 100 blood samples per year from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was considered a 95% confidence level and an 80% power. In addition, a 10% loss in follow-up was estimated.

After reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, signing the informed consent, and peripheral blood sampling. Total DNA (tDNA) will be extracted using the DNAeasy Blood \& Tissue (Qiagen) kit.

Likewise, for the determination of pathogenic variants, the Sophia HCS Community panels (Sophia genetics) will be used to carry out Next-generation (NGS) sequencing in a NextSeq 550 (Illumina) platform.

To determine the clinical significance of genomic variants, the data analysis will be performed on the SOPHiA Alamut™ Visual Plus which is a comprehensive, full genome browser for efficient and user-friendly variant interpretation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
PV in patients with lung carcinoma	One peripherial blood sample (day 1) at baseline of study.	To determine the prevalence of pathogenic variants (PV) in patients with lung adenocarcinoma through amplicon next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
OS	From date of confirmed diagnosis until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months	To evaluate the prognostic impact of the pathogenic variants (PV) in the overall survival (OS) of patients with lung carcinoma.
PFS	From date of first line of treatment initiation (guided therapy) until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months	To evaluate the prognostic impact of the pathogenic variants (PV) in the progression free survival (PFS) of patients with lung carcinoma.
