Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with pathologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer who have ECOG performance >1, are fit for further systemic therapy within the defined time window, and can provide informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients actively enrolled in a clinical trial of an investigational agent or those unable to provide informed consent are not appropriate for and likely will not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This observational registry collects current and future clinical data from adults with pathologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer to create external control arms. Data collected may include demographics, treatment history, imaging, performance status, and outcomes from participating clinical sites and registries. Eligible participants are adults (≥18) with confirmed NSCLC who are fit for further systemic therapy within the specified treatment window and able to consent, while exclusions include inability to consent or concurrent enrollment in an investigational treatment trial. The assembled external control cohorts are intended to support more meaningful comparisons against patients receiving new therapies or enrolled in interventional studies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could provide better-matched real-world control groups to help interpret treatment outcomes and speed understanding of what works in NSCLC.

How similar studies have gone: External control arms derived from registries and real-world data have been used successfully in some oncology settings, but success varies and depends on data quality and comparability.
