Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to further advancements in biospecimens (blood cellular free component, e.g., plasma, serum, tissue, urine), in order to develop precision medicine, for lung cancer management and lung cancer screening (synergy with imaging). A co-clinical trial approach, with integrative analyses leveraging data from the treatment of genetic mouse models of lung cancer along with clinical samples and data from lung cancer patients, will be used to elucidate genomic background metrics, identify cell free DNA mutations, and further refine the liquid biopsy approach. Blood and urine samples will be analyzed for different genetic components. The tissue biopsy will be implanted into a mouse and after the cancer grows in the mouse the cancer DNA from the mouse will be compared with the human blood.

Detailed Description

This is a feasibility study to collect tumor and peripheral blood and urine of patients with lung cancer, or head and neck cancer, or other solid tumor who receive treatment. Blood and urine will also be collected from subjects without cancer to assess non cancer profiles. To conduct this study, a total of 30 study-eligible subjects of all races and ethnicities, aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of cancer of the lung or head and neck cancer or other solid tumor malignancy (Cohort A), will be enrolled and have their tumor collected once for molecular profiling and xenograft development and blood collected at prespecified time intervals until completion of treatment for liquid biopsy analysis (targeted sequencing, whole exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing). A total of 140 study-eligible subjects of all races and ethnicities ages 18 years or older will be enrolled in the non-lung cancer control subgroups for chronic inflammatory disorder (Cohort B), people at risk to develop lung cancer (Cohort C) and healthy people who complete vigorous exercise (Cohort D). A total of 180 subjects will be enrolled into the resection and radiation therapy cancer cohorts (Cohorts E and F).

Chronic inflammatory diseaseBlood/Urine Sample CollectionBlood/Urine Sample Collection A one time blood and urine sample collection will be completed.
Lung/ Head and Neck Cancer GroupFresh tissue biopsyBlood/Urine Sample Collection Fresh tissue biopsy A one time fresh tissue biopsy of the patient's lung cancer (outside of their normal standard of care biopsy) will be collected for the research. Patients will also complete research blood and urine sample collections every two to four weeks for one year, then up to 120 days for years two through five.

Lung cancer with planned resectionFresh tissue biopsyBlood/Urine Sample Collection Blood and/or urine sample collection one time before surgery and one time after surgery. Blood and/or urine sample collection at subsequent visits. Fresh tissue biopsy Tissue sample collection from surgery is there is any tissue considered to be pathological waste that would normally be discarded.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of genomic profile15 months

Genomic changes causing lung cancer evolve over the course of illness. The genetic changes may serve as a biomarker for diagnosis and response to treatment. These changes will be measured in human specimens and co-cultured in mice.
