Understanding resistance to osimertinib in lung cancer patients

Relationship Between Resistance to the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Osimertinib and Pharmacokinetics in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Toward an Individualization of the Treatment (RESISTYR)

Observational Rennes University Hospital · NCT05020275

This study looks at patients with non-small cell lung cancer to see if they have any markers that show why they might not respond to the drug osimertinib, using blood samples instead of tissue biopsies.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have an activating mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) and are not currently receiving osimertinib. The study aims to investigate the pharmacokinetics of osimertinib and identify biomarkers that predict resistance to this treatment. By analyzing blood samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), researchers hope to monitor disease progression and understand the factors contributing to treatment resistance. This approach allows for a less invasive method of tracking the disease compared to traditional tissue biopsies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring specific EGF-R mutations.

Not a fit: Patients currently receiving osimertinib or those who have previously been treated with EGF-R tyrosine kinase inhibitors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for lung cancer patients by identifying factors that contribute to resistance against osimertinib.

How similar studies have performed: While studies on osimertinib have shown varying responses, this specific approach focusing on ctDNA as a biomarker for resistance is relatively novel.
