Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| ctDNA analysis, as additional source of genetic information, is integrated into the diagnostic workup of LC patients and the medical benefits thereof are quantified, i.e. a significant higher percentage of patients with a driver mutation are identified by the plasma first approach. Multiparametric decision support algorithms based on imaging, TM and ctDNA analyses that identify small-cell LC (SCLC) and non-small-cell LC (NSCLC) are developed and validated. Multiparametric decision support models are developed that enable patient-specific timing of imaging procedures during follow-up of LC patients. A super-resolution microscopy test for PD-L1 is developed and correlation with tumor tissue PD-L1 expression has been established. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An analytical protocol for analysis of PD-L1 expression on CTCs by super-resolution microscopy has been developed. All LC patients with a molecular aberration and all SCLC patients have been followed up by liquid biopsy during treatment. The number of NGS analyses and time to diagnosis decreased by introduction of up-front LB. | — |
