PROSPECT - Profiling of Resistance Patterns & Oncogenic Signaling Pathways in Evaluation of Cancers of the Thorax and Therapeutic Target Identification

Recruiting
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Cancer of Thorax
Registration Number
NCT05049837
Lead Sponsor
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Brief Summary

In this Project, we will use therapeutic target -focused (TTF) profiling, genome-wide mRNA profiling and assessments of tumor phosphopeptides and DNA that are shed into the blood stream to define how various molecular factors alone and in combination relate to resistance to therapy, to prognosis, and to metastatic patterns at relapse. We will examine how the presence of factors that drive cell growth, antagonize apoptosis, or confer resistance in other ways may counter the effect of systemic therapies and/or promote rapid tumor recurrence. In this way, we will identify new, previously unappreciated potential therapeutic targets while also identifying which targets are most likely to increase resistance to therapy and worsen prognosis.

Detailed Description

Objectives:

1. To develop a therapeutic target -focused (TTF) profiling platform and to use it in vitro to identify potential therapeutic targets associated with therapeutic resistance and to develop novel approaches against these potential targets.

2. To use tumor tissue TTF profiling along with genome wide mRNA profiling, serum phosphopeptide profiling and plasma DNA profiling to identify and evaluate molecular targets and pathways that contribute to therapeutic sensitivity or resistance, prognosis, and recurrence patterns in patients with operable non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).
