Predicting response to PD-1 immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer patients

Retrospective Observational Study on Prediction of Response to PD-1 Immunotherapy in Patients with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Mass Tissue Imaging HyperIONTM

Observational University Hospital, Brest · NCT04886401

This study is trying to find out if certain markers in tumors can help predict how well advanced lung cancer patients will respond to a specific immunotherapy treatment.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify biomarkers that can predict the response and toxicity of PD-1 immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By analyzing tumor microenvironments using advanced imaging techniques, the study seeks to uncover immunophenotypic signatures associated with treatment outcomes. Patients who received pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment between January 2017 and December 2019 will be evaluated based on their response and adverse effects. The findings could lead to improved patient selection and treatment strategies in immuno-oncology.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients with advanced NSCLC who have a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or greater and received their first dose of pembrolizumab between January 2017 and December 2019.

Not a fit: Patients with autoimmune diseases, prior exposure to immunotherapy, or those who received their first dose of pembrolizumab after December 2019 may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the ability to predict which patients will benefit from PD-1 immunotherapy, leading to more personalized and effective treatment plans.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in identifying biomarkers for immunotherapy response, but this specific approach using multiplex imaging is relatively novel.
