From: Clinical potential of gene mutations in lung cancer

Study name

Identifiera

Purpose

Biomarker(s)

The identification, validation, and implementation of prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers for adjuvant chemotherapy in early stage NSCLC

NCT01595074

Evaluate biomarkers for predicting treatment response in samples from patients with early-stage NSCLC (IA–IIIA) previously treated with adjuvant chemotherapy

15 Gene prognostic and predictive mRNA signature

Adjuvant lung cancer enrichment marker identification and sequencing (ALCHEMIST)

NCT02194738

Evaluate the use of genetic testing to screen patients with stage IB–IIIA NSCLC that will or have undergone surgery.

EGFR, PIK3CA, PTEN, ALK, & other N/S

A study to assess the ability to initiate therapy in advanced NSCLC patients based on genetic analyses of tumor specimens

NCT02178163

Evaluate use of genomic analysis of tissue samples from patients with reoccurred or stage IV NSCLC to select therapy treatment

N/S

A study of predictive and prognostic markers in patients with NSCLC

NCT00958555

Investigate predictive and prognostic markers from circulating tumor cells in blood and tumor for outcome after treatment for NSCLC

Genes linked to genetic risk of NSCLC (N/S)

A pilot study to evaluate the predictive value of circulating tumor DNA for clinical outcome in patients with advanced head and neck and lung cancers

NCT02245100

Evaluate predictive value of DNA from circulating tumor cells in patients with stage III–IV NSCLC to treatment

N/S

A prospective study of plasma genotyping as a noninvasive biomarker for genotype-directed cancer care

NCT02279004

Evaluate genotyping oncogenic mutations using blood samples from NSCLC patients to determine cancer genotype and patient response to therapy

EGFR, KRAS, BRAF

Prognosis or predicting response

 Individualized 1st line chemotherapy based on BRCA1 and RRMI mRNA expression levels for advanced NSCLC

NCT01424709

Compare survival rate of patients with advanced NSCLC based on gene expression compared to patients given gemcitabine/cisplatin

RRM1 and BRCA1 mRNA

 Phase II ERCC1 and RRMI1-based adjuvant therapy trial in patients with stage I NSCLC

NCT00792701

Compare survival of stage I NSCLC patients that have undergone surgery given chemotherapy based on gene expression compared to patients given gemcitabine/cisplatin

ERCC1 & RRM1

 Pilot trial of docetaxel, gemcitabine, or pemetrexed single agent therapy with serial tumor specimen collection in patients with advanced NSCLC

NCT02145078

Evaluate if levels of certain genes in tissue and blood samples are related to patient’s response to chemotherapy (stage IV NSCLC) and compare markers between CTCs, PBMCs, and tumor

RRM1, TS, BRCA1 & other molecules N/S
