Effect of Genetic and Epigenetic Factors on the Clinical Response and Toxicity to Cisplatin Among Egyptian Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Plain-language summary
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common histotype according to the global cancer observatory 2022. A variety of therapeutic options for advanced/metastatic non-oncogene-addicted NSCLC have recently been approved based on their impact on patient outcomes in terms of survival and safety profile. Current guidelines advocate for personalized treatment options based on molecular and immunologic characteristics, which drives the physician's decision toward tailored oncology.
In the last two to three decades, hundreds of cancer biological prognostic markers for non-small cell lung cancer have been proposed. Although they have shown a potential in this field, validation studies are still required and, to date, there is in sufficient evidence to recommend the routine clinical use of any of these putative biomarkers. Therefore, the discovery of robust prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers in patients with non-small cell lung cancer is imperative for advancing treatment strategies for the disease and improving patient care.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* NSCLC cancer patients treated with Cisplatin-containing chemotherapy.
* Measurable disease.
* Age of 18 years to 80 years.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Non-small cell lung cancer patients who had undergone radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
* Pregnant and lactating females.
* History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to oxaliplatin.
* Any other medical or psychiatric condition or severe or chronic laboratory abnormality making the inclusion of the patient in the study inappropriate in the opinion of the investigator.
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.
