In Vitro NSCLC EGFR-Mutant Models for Drug Sensitivity Testing
30 participantsStarted 2026-09-01
Plain-language summary
The PRECISE-EGFR study is a prospective, observational project designed to generate patient-derived in vitro models (cell cultures and organoids) from individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying EGFR mutations. These models will be used to evaluate sensitivity to different anti-EGFR therapies and explore mechanisms of drug resistance.
Using residual biological samples collected during routine clinical practice, the study will not interfere with patient care. Researchers will also compare the molecular characteristics of the models with the original tumors to ensure reliability.
The overall aim is to improve precision oncology approaches, identifying the most effective treatments for specific EGFR mutation subtypes while minimizing toxicity and resistance.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥ 18 years.
* Diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), regardless of the line of treatment.
* Documented presence of an EGFR mutation.
* Availability of residual biological material obtained from diagnostic or therapeutic procedures performed as part of routine clinical practice.
* Signed written informed consent for study participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who have not provided written informed consent will be excluded from the study.
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.
What they're measuring

Generate in vitro cellular models derived from tumors of patients with NSCLC carrying EGFR mutations, using residual biological samples, to be used for evaluating sensitivity to anti-EGFR drugs.
