Analyzing tumor DNA to predict response to cancer treatment in lung cancer patients

Official title: Analysis of Circulating Tumor DNA Dynamics to Predict and Monitor Response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Run by Gene Solutions · NCT06167460 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if measuring tumor DNA in the blood can help predict how well lung cancer patients respond to a specific treatment called Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are eligible for TKI therapy and have not yet started treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have already begun TKI or chemotherapy treatment prior to enrollment will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the dynamics of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to predict and monitor the response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It aims to establish a relationship between ctDNA levels and clinical responses to TKI treatment, comparing ctDNA dynamics with traditional imaging methods. Patients will provide blood samples for ctDNA analysis at multiple time points, and their clinical outcomes will be monitored over a two-year period. The study will also assess the correlation between ctDNA changes and progression-free survival and overall survival rates.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a non-invasive method to predict treatment responses in lung cancer patients, potentially leading to more personalized treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using ctDNA analysis for monitoring treatment responses in various cancers, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
