Brief summary

Immunotherapy has helped improve the prognosis of metastatic lung cancer. However, only about 40% of patients respond to conventional immunotherapy with anti-PD(L)-1 agents. This research aims to identify biomarkers of response to immunotherapy at the tumor level and to characterize new therapeutic targets

Detailed description

The primary objective of this clinical study is to understand how certain blood markers can predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatments for patients with advanced-stage lung cancer. This is a multicenter study with a total duration of 7 years. In addition, the study will address several secondary objectives: Compare biological markers present in the blood with those found in lung cancer tumors. Investigate differences between tumor markers at early versus advanced stages of the disease. Identify new markers that may predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatments. Explore a specific mechanism (called HVEM/BTLA) involved in lung cancer, whether at an early or advanced stage. To achieve the study objectives, 200 patients are expected to be enrolled, and the study will be conducted across two institutions. In this study, the following biological samples will be collected: blood and tissue samples at the time of inclusion, and again at disease progression if it occurs during follow-up.

Interventions

PROCEDUREprospective collection of blood and tumor samples

The procedure under study is based on the collection of tissue and blood samples at two time points during the patient's management. The patient will undergo a first sampling at the time of inclusion in the study, followed by a second sampling performed at the time of disease progression. Two types of samples will be collected: blood samples and tumor samples. The protocol-mandated tumor sampling at progression will be performed in the following two situations: 1. If, as part of routine clinical care, a biopsy is planned, an additional tumor sample for the study will be collected. 2. If the patient has consented to undergoing a protocol-specific tumor biopsy at the time of progression
