Biological Factors Predicting Response to Chemotherapy in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
- Conditions
- Non Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
- Interventions
- Drug: Chemotherapy
- Registration Number
- NCT00864266
- Lead Sponsor
- European Lung Cancer Working Party
- Brief Summary
The primary aim of the study is to identify a predictive molecular signature for response to chemotherapy, according to WHO criteria, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer by studying the transcriptome (miRNAs and mRNAs) and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) by using high throughput techniques.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description 1 Chemotherapy After obtaining the biopsy, patients will be treated by standard chemotherapy (the regimen has to be in agreement with the ELCWP guidelines, available on the website www.elcwp.org)
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Response rate response will be assessed every 3 cycles of chemotherapy according to WHO criteria
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Survival Survival will be dated from the date of treatment Progression-free survival Period between the date of treatment and the date of first progression or death Duration of response period between the day of treatment and the date of first progression in patients with an objective response
