Implementing Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis at Initial Diagnosis to Improve Management of Advanced NSCLC Patients

Implementing Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis at Initial Diagnosis to Improve Management of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (NSCLC)

Multicenter prospective cohort study aiming to evaluate the detection rate of EGFR gene mutation in patients with advanced NSCLC in a real-word clinical setting, based on liquid biopsy and tissue analyses.

This a multicenter prospective cohort study. This study will be proposed to newly diagnosed advanced NSCLC patients. For included patients, archived paraffin embedded tumor tissue will be used for sequencing ; and blood sample will be collected for research purpose (plasma DNA collection and sequencing).

Both tissue and liquid biopsy samples will follow usual processes and will be sent to the Molecular Pathology laboratory of the Investigation center.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years at time of proposal study,
2. Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung carcinoma,
3. No previous treatment for NSCLC,
4. Indication to EGFR status determination following HAS recommendation,
5. Voluntary signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure
6. Patients with a social security in compliance with the French Law.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Treatment for advanced NSCLC started before liquid biopsy sampling.
2. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both Investigator staff and/or staff at the study site).
