Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 or older with suspected or confirmed non-small cell lung cancer, eligible for participation and able to provide informed consent, affiliated with a social security system.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumor or blood biomarker profiles do not align with responders may not experience benefit from biomarker-guided approaches.

What this trial studies

This multicenter study aims to identify biomarkers in blood and tumor tissue that predict response to immunotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers will collect blood and tumor samples at enrollment and again at progression, to compare markers over time and between early and late disease. The study will also explore the HVEM/BTLA pathway as a potential mechanism influencing treatment effectiveness. About 200 patients will be enrolled across two institutions over up to seven years. The findings could help tailor immunotherapy for lung cancer patients based on biomarker profiles.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may receive more precise immunotherapy choices based on biomarker status, potentially improving outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: Biomarker-led approaches in immunotherapy have shown promise in NSCLC, but integration into routine practice remains evolving and this study is exploratory.
