Evaluation of the Response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Localized Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients With EGFR Mutation in a Patient-derived Organoid Model

France200 participantsStarted 2021-11-01

Plain-language summary

Lung cancer is a major public health problem and remains the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Moreover, in France, it is the 3rd most common cancer in terms of incidence. Its prognosis remains poor despite the emergence of new therapies, notably the Epithelial Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors which can be used in patients with adenocarcinoma presenting an activating mutation of EGFR. In addition, a number of questions remain regarding the use of these molecules, including the possibility of combining them with other therapies such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In addition, the duration of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors is a matter of debate, mainly in localised forms (ADAURA trial). For this reason, we have proposed tests using TKIs on an in vitro platform based on organoid formation from tumour biopsies of NSCLC patients. This model will allow to test different molecules, in particular osimertinib which is a third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In this way, it will be possible to evaluate in vitro responder patients within a timeframe compatible with the timeframe proposed by the INCA (4-6 weeks). For non-responders, it will also be possible to screen them in vitro and seek the ideal alternative therapy. This model therefore aims to develop personalised medicine in thoracic oncology and could be used as a decision aid during multidisciplinary consultation meetings.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
