Risk-adapted, Proteomic-guided Systemic Therapy for Previously Untreated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT ID: NCT07250477Sponsor: University of California, DavisLast updated: 2026-02-09

Summary

This is a phase 2, pragmatic, 1:1 randomized, open-label study that evaluates risk-adapted, proteomic-guided systemic therapy to improve 12-month progression free survival (PFS) among patients with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed description

Participants will be randomized to an intervention arm or a standard of care (SOC) arm. Participants in the intervention arm will undergo pretreatment assessment with PROphet Clinical Benefit (CB) and the Cancer and Aging Research Group Toxicity Tool (CARG-TT); data from the assessments will be used to select systemic therapy, which can be any SOC treatment that incorporates a Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-(L)1) antibody with or without chemotherapy and/or with or without Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4) antibody. Participants in the SOC arm will undergo SOC biomarker assessment and subsequent selection of SOC systemic therapy. The primary endpoint is 12-month progression free survival (PFS). The findings will be stratified according to participant performance status and tumor PD-L1 score. The hypothesis is that risk-adapted, proteomic-guided systemic therapy will improve PFS among patients with previously untreated advanced NSCLC compared to SOC systemic therapy.

Arms & interventions

  • DrugSystemic (ICI)-based therapy informed by the PROphet CB assay and the CARG-TT assessment.

    Pretreatment assessment with PROphet CB and CARG-TT, which will be used to determine which first-line systemic treatment participants in the intervention arm receive. Systemic treatment will be pre-determined by the trial, according to the results from PROphet CB and CARG-TT.

  • DrugStandard of Care

    Standard of care (SOC) biomarker testing followed by first-line treatment with either anti-PD(L)1 Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy or anti-PD(L)1 ICI + chemotherapy.

Outcome measures

Primary

  • The primary objective is to evaluate 12-month progression free survival (PFS) of systemic therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT (intervention arm) versus standard of care systemic therapy

    Progression free survival (PFS) at 12 months, defined as progression assessed per investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death due to any cause at 12 months (± 28 days) from start of treatment.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months.

Secondary

  • To evaluate treatment-related adverse events of systemic therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT (intervention arm) versus standard of care systemic therapy.

    Time frame: 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  • To evaluate time to treatment discontinuation of systemic therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT (intervention arm) versus standard of care systemic therapy

    Time frame: Up to 12 months

  • To evaluate overall PFS of systemic therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT (intervention arm) versus standard of care systemic therapy.

    Time frame: Up to 60 months.

  • To evaluate overall survival (OS) among participants treated with systemic therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT (intervention arm) versus standard of care systemic therapy.

    Time frame: Up to 60 months.

Eligibility criteria

Sex: AllAge: 18 Years and olderHealthy volunteers: No
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer that is metastatic or unresectable (stage IIIC or IV), deemed appropriate to receive standard of care immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy given with palliative intent. * Age ≥18 years at the time of consent. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥50%). * Ability to understand and willingness to sign the informed consent form (ICF). * Stated ability and willingness to adhere to all protocol requirements while on study Exclusion Criteria: * Tumor with known sensitizing alteration in ALK, EGFR, HER2, MET exon 14, NTRK, RET, or ROS1. * Medical comorbidities precluding immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy per treating investgator's discretion. * Previous systemic therapy for metastatic Stage IIIC or IV NSCLC. Patients who previously completed systemic therapy for early stage or locally advanced NSCLC ≥ 80 days prior to trial registration are eligible for inclusion. * Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's safety or compliance while on study
