Genetic Testing in Screening Patients With Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been or Will Be Removed by Surgery (The ALCHEMIST Screening Trial)

Recruiting

I'm Interested

Trial ID: NCT02194738

Purpose

This ALCHEMIST trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes.

Official Title

Adjuvant Lung Cancer Enrichment Marker Identification and Sequencing Trial (ALCHEMIST)

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:

   - PATIENT PRE-REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:

   - For pre-surgical patients

      - Suspected diagnosis of resectable non-small cell lung cancer; cancers with a
      histology of "adenosquamous" are considered a type of adenocarcinoma and thus a
      "nonsquamous" histology; patients with squamous cell carcinoma are eligible

      - Suspected clinical stage of IIIA, II (IIA or IIB) or large IB (defined as size >=
      4 cm); Note: IB tumors < 4 cm are NOT eligible; stage IB cancer based on pleural
      invasion is not eligible unless the tumor size is >= 4 cm; the 7th edition of
      American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging will be utilized

   - For post-surgical patients

      - Completely resected non-small cell lung cancer with negative margins (R0);
      patients with squamous cell carcinoma are eligible only if they have not received
      adjuvant therapy

      - Pathologic stage IIIA, II (IIA or IIB) or large IB (defined as size >= 4 cm);
      Note: IB tumors < 4 cm are NOT eligible; stage IB cancer based on pleural
      invasion is not eligible unless the tumor size is >= 4 cm; the 7th edition of
      AJCC staging will be utilized

   - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1

   - Age ≥ 18 years

   - No patients who have received neoadjuvant therapy (chemo- or radio-therapy) for this
   lung cancer

   - No locally advanced or metastatic cancer requiring systemic therapy within 5 years
   prior to registration; no secondary primary lung cancer diagnosed concurrently or
   within 2 year prior to registration

   - No prior treatment with agents targeting EGFR mutation, ALK rearrangement, and
   PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4

   - No patients known to be pregnant or lactating

   - Patients who have had local genotyping are eligible, regardless of the local result

   - No patients with recurrence of lung cancer after prior resection

   - Note: Post-surgical patients should proceed to registration immediately following
   preregistration

   - PATIENT REGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:

   - Tissue available for the required analyses (either clinical tissue block or slides and
   scrolls)

   - Completely resected NSCLC with negative margins (R0); cancers with a histology of
   "adenosquamous" are considered a type of adenocarcinoma and thus a "nonsquamous"
   histology

   - Pathologic stage IIIA, IIA or IIB, or large IB (defined as size >= 4 cm); Note: IB
   tumors < 4 cm are NOT eligible; stage IB cancer based on pleural invasion is not
   eligible unless the tumor size is >= 4 cm; the 7th edition of AJCC staging will be
   utilized

   - Patients with squamous cell carcinoma are eligible only if they have not received
   adjuvant therapy

   - In order to allow for time for central genotyping and eligibility for the ALCHEMIST
   treatment trial, patients must register within the following eligibility windows:

      - Squamous patients:

         - No adjuvant therapy permitted, register patient within 77 days following
         surgery

      - Non-squamous patients:

         - If no adjuvant therapy, register patient within 75 days following surgery

         - If adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy only, register patient within 225
         days following surgery

         - If adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, register patient within 285 days
         following surgery
