DNA and RNA testing for treatment-resistant lung cancer
Official title: Real-world Study of DNA + RNA-NGS Co-testing in Patients with Driver Gene-negative, First-line Non-targeted Therapy-resistant Primary NSCLC (Dream Study)
Run by Shanghai Chest Hospital · NCT06846762 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how many patients with advanced lung cancer are resistant to standard treatments because of hidden gene issues and how those with known gene problems respond to targeted therapies compared to those without.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults diagnosed with advanced or metastatic inoperable NSCLC who have previously tested negative for common driver mutations and experienced rapid disease progression after first-line non-targeted therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other significant pulmonary diseases or those who do not meet the inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the prevalence of primary resistance to first-line non-targeted therapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who lack driver gene mutations. It consists of two parts: Part A assesses the proportion of patients resistant due to undetected driver genes through DNA and RNA next-generation sequencing (NGS), while Part B compares the outcomes of patients with identified driver gene positivity who receive targeted therapy versus those who do not. The study aims to enhance understanding of treatment resistance and improve patient management strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better-targeted therapies for patients with treatment-resistant NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using DNA and RNA NGS for identifying treatment resistance is gaining traction, this specific study's methodology is relatively novel and untested.
