Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring an oncogenic driver mutation who are starting treatment with a TKI.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unable to provide blood samples for study purposes will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study involves adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are being treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The study aims to collect repeated blood samples at various intervals during treatment to conduct liquid mutation testing and pharmacokinetic analysis. Blood will be drawn during routine clinical visits, and additional samples will be taken when patients undergo standard biopsies. The goal is to monitor mutations and resistance mechanisms without interfering with standard care practices.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of resistance mechanisms in lung cancer, leading to more personalized treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using liquid biopsies for monitoring mutations in cancer patients, indicating that this approach is promising.
