Longitudinal Evaluation of Microbial and Host Signatures During Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer

Recruiting

• Conditions: Lung Cancer

• Registration Number: NCT04063501
• Lead Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Brief Summary

This study will prospectively collect airway, stool, and blood samples on 80 subjects with lung cancer undergoing immunotherapy. Investigators will evaluate airway/stool microbial signatures associated with local (lower airway) and systemic (blood) immune tone.They will then study whether microbiota and/or host signatures predict subjects' response by longitudinal assessment of the progression free survival. They will also repeat sampling after 8 weeks of immunotherapy to expand our mechanistic understanding of the response to treatment.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: RECRUITING
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 40

Inclusion Criteria

• Adult patients with a diagnosis of advanced stage unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and indication for PD-1 blockade treatment (either as monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy)

Exclusion Criteria

• Antibiotic, steroid, or chemotherapy received within the prior month since these are possible confounders that may impact the microbiome and the host immunity.

• Renal disease
• Coagulopathy
• Liver disease
