Use Peripheral Blood Proteomics to Predict the Treatment Response and Toxicities in NSCLC Immunotherapy

Terminated
Conditions
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03951012
Lead Sponsor
Muhammad Furqan
Brief Summary

Peripheral blood contains enormous quantity of biological information that can improve our patient care. Investigators plan to use proteomics from serum to study its value in predicting the therapeutic response and toxicities of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Detailed Description

An extra tube of blood for research will be collected from consented subjects prior to the initiation of anti-PD-1/L1 based immunotherapy, either single agent or in combination with chemotherapy. The blood will be coded, processed and sent for analysis. Results of analysis will be correlated with clinical data to see whether serum proteomics can be a good therapeutic predictor for future studies and treatments of NSCLC.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Treatment toxicitiesTime of study enrollment up to one year

The treatment toxicities will be recorded using CTCAE version 5.0

Treatment responseTime of study enrollment up to one year

Treatment response will be measured every 2-3 months using iRECIST criteria.

Correlate peripheral blood proteomics data with patients' clinical informationTime of study enrollment up to one year

An extra tube of peripheral blood (\~10ml) will be collected prior to the treatment. This blood specimen will be spun down and the serum collected and aliquoted. \~1ml serum will be shipped to Biodesix Inc. for the analysis of blood proteomics using matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. We will correlate proteomics data with patients clinical information including treatment response, toxicities, tumor mutation/PD-L1 status, etc. to determine if peripheral blood protemoics can predict therapeutic response.
