Integrated Genomics in Oncogene-driven NSCLC With Acquired Resistance

Taiwan40 participantsStarted 2025-09-01

Plain-language summary

Currently, tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) remains the standard of care for oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, almost all oncogene-driven NSCLCs would develop acquired resistance against TKI in clinical practice. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquired resistance is a critical issue in lung cancer. Based on the literature, acquired resistance mechanism against EGFR TKI includes EGFR secondary mutation (T790M, C797X, L792X, G796X, L718Q, and exon 20 insertions), MET amplification, HER2 amplification, acquired gene fusions, and other complex alterations. From the perspective of mutagenesis, the acquired resistance against TKI may be associated with APOBEC mutational processes, kataegis, chromothripsis, extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), and the interaction among them. However, still 30% to 50% of oncogene-driven NSCLCs had no identified mechanism attributed to the acquired resistance. Previous studies mostly used targeted-gene sequencing, which may overlook some structural variation and the transcriptomic dynamics. This study aims to investigate the genomic alterations, mutational processes, and the transcriptomic landscape underlying the acquired resistance using integrated genomics.

Inclusion criteria

. Histologically confirmed NSCLC, with at least one of the known oncogene mutation prior to systemic treatment: EGFR exon 18-21 activating mutation, MET exon-14-skipping mutation, ERBB2 activating mutation, ALK fusion, ROS1 fusion, RET fusion, NTRK1 fusion, NTRK2 fusion, NTRK3 fusion, BRAF V600 mutation, or KRAS G12C mutation
. Patient had received tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with progressive disease, as assessed by the treating physician
. Had tumor tissue available for DNA extraction and sequencing.
. Eligible for withdrawal of a blood sample for DNA extraction and sequencing.

Exclusion criteria

. Patient had not received TKI or did not have documented disease progression during TKI treatment.

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.
