Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

This is a prospective pilot study to assess dynamic changes of plasma cell-free RNA (cfRNA) PD-L1 expression in patients with lung cancer undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) based therapy. Results will be correlated with radiographic assessment of immunotherapy treatment response and plasma NGS ctDNA.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. All patients with a diagnosis of stage IV or inoperable stage IIIB NSCLC without planned primary radiation therapy undergoing anti-PD-1/L1 based ICI treatment. 2. Chemo-immune or dual anti-PD-1/L1 with anti-CTLA-4 based regimens are eligible as long as receiving an anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibody. 3. A documented informed consent will be obtained prior to inclusion in the study. All discussions with patients will be held in strictest confidence and out of earshot of the general public. Patients will be fully informed that their participation in the study is voluntary. Patients may decline to be part of the study. Their decision to participate in the study will not affect the care they receive. Exclusion Criteria: 1. No anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibody treatment. 2. Planned primary radiation therapy. 3. Small-cell lung cancer histology.
