Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relevance of intratumoral washing for detection of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity).

Detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess evaluate the relevance of intratumoral washing by ultrathin bronchoscopy (outer diameter; 3mm) for detection of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) using cobas real-time PCR and droplet digital PCR (DDPCR) in patients with NSCLC.

Interventions

Each subject with NSCLC will undergo bronchooscopic procedure. First, ultrathin bronchoscope is inserted and placed within tumor under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance. Then, intratumoral washing is performed. Subsequently, transbronchial lung biopsy is performed under radial EBUS, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy guidance.

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥ 20 years * Obtained written informed consent * Patients diagnosed with NSCLC by histology or cytology and inoperable stage IV at the time of study enrollment * Patients with the following EGFR gene mutations: E19Del, L858R alone or concurrent rare EGFR gene mutations (T790M, G719X, exon 20 insertion, S768I) * Patients previously treated with EGFR-TKIs such as gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib, dacomitinib as first line therapy * Patients who had shown clinical benefits (CR, PR, SD) from EGFR-TKIs and had been confirmed PD on those therapy according to RECIST v 1.1. * Patients who underwent liquid biopsy (plasma) for EGFR mutation at the time of PD on EGFR-TKIs * Patients who plan to undergo tissue biopsy for EGFR mutation at the time of PD on EGFR-TKIs

Exclusion criteria

* Patients who withdraw informed consent * Patients who are unable to undergo liquid biopsy (plasma) and tissue biopsy for EGFR mutation based on the investigator's judgement

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The DNA and EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection rate in intratumoral washing fluidthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearDefined as the number of DNA and EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) detection divided by the total attempts of intratumoral washing by ultrathin bronchoscopy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription

The EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) sensitivity and specificity in intratumoral washing fluidthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearThe sensitivity and specificity of EGFR mutation (including T790M positivity) in intratumoral washing fluid compared with tissue (gold standard).
Objective response ratethrough study completion, an average of 1 yearObjective response rate (ORR) including rate of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1.
Disease control ratethrough study completion, an average of 1 yearDisease control rate (DCR) including rate of CR, PR and stable disease (SD) based on RECIST 1.1.
Progression-free survivalthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearProgression-free survival (PFS) the time from first dose of the study drug until the date of progressive disease (PD) based on RECIST 1.1 or death by any cause.
