Early Rebiopsy to Identify Mechanisms and Biomarkers of Tumor Cell Survival Following Systemic Therapy for Lung Cancer
Summary
A comparison of baseline tumor characteristics in oncogene-driven cancers to tumor characteristics after early response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) targeted treatment will allow identification of early adaptive mechanisms of cell survival. This will facilitate targeting and termination of these survival/ resistance pathways before they develop with rational combinations of therapeutic agents to improve outcomes.
Outcome measures
Primary
gene expression changes
change from baseline of tumor gene expression profile at 2 weeks. Global gene expression data will be collected using RNAseq
Time frame: baseline and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) for each patient.
protein expression change
change from baseline of protein gene expression profile at 2 weeks as measured by multiplex protein assay (proteins to be assayed include: e-cadherin, vimentin, fibronectin, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD206, PDL1, and CSF1R)
Time frame: baseline and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) for each patient.
Secondary
Depth of Response
Time frame: Study startup through 36 months
