Using multi-omics to assess immunotherapy response in lung cancer

Proteomic and Metabolomic Features Testing for Immunotherapy Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Observational Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University · NCT05928299

This study is testing how well immunotherapy works for people with non-small cell lung cancer by looking at blood and urine samples to see if certain markers can predict their response to treatment.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by analyzing blood and urine samples for proteomic and metabolomic features. It will include a total of 400 patients, with 200 being retrospectively analyzed from past immunotherapy treatments and 200 prospectively enrolled for ongoing treatments. The study will monitor how these biological markers correlate with patient responses to immunotherapy over time.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who are eligible for immunotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of autoimmune diseases or those with specific genetic mutations that contraindicate immunotherapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved monitoring and personalized treatment strategies for patients undergoing immunotherapy for lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches using multi-omics in cancer treatment have shown promise, this specific application in NSCLC immunotherapy response is relatively novel.
