Brief summary

To evaluate the predictive value of ctDNA in response, relapse for patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapy for ALK, ROS1, MET ex14 skipping.

Detailed description

In the study, 250 advanced NSCLC patients will be recruited. All the patients will receive tissue biopsy and circultating tumor DNA (ctDNA) liquid biopsy before entry the study. Patients who have no actionable mutations in EGFR or ALK and receive ICIs treatment and patients who carry actionable ROS1 fusion, ALK fusion or MET exon 14 skipping mutation and receive TKI treatment according to guidelines will take liquid biopsy assay to monitor the mutation status. The study will be ended when over 70% of the patients had a progressive disease (PD) in their targeted lesion.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the evolution of ctDNA mutation profile during treatmentevery 2-3 cycles of treatment upon physicians' request, ctDNA mutation analysis and clonal analysis (each cycle is 28 days)ctDNA mutation will be detected, PyClone based clonal analysis will be performed to analyze the clonal dominance

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Resistant mechanisms of targeted therapyAt the time of disease progression (through study completion, an average of 1.5 years)Resistant mutations will be identified from ctDNA or tissue mutations
