About this trial

This is an ancillary laboratory study to collect and bank blood and tissue samples. The biospecimens collected for this study will be invaluable for future research into predictive biomarkers and genomic alterations and their correlation with clinical outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Ability of participant to understand this study, and participant willingness to sign a written informed consent. NOTE: Remote consenting allowed per IRB policy.

Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study

Males and/or females age ≥ 18 years

Advanced stage (IIIB to IV) non-small cell lung cancer (all types including mixed histology, without actionable mutations)

Disqualifiers

Diagnosed with a psychiatric illness or is in a social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements

Presence of a condition(s) or diagnosis, either physical or psychological, or physical exam finding that precludes participation.

Advanced stage (IIIB to IV) non-small cell lung cancer with actionable mutations

Active viral infection (Hep C or B) requiring anti-viral therapy in the last 28 days. HIV patients on stable on anti-viral therapy able to receive therapy for the cancer are eligible to participate.

Trial population

Participants will be recruited from the patient population of The University of Kansas and affiliated sites.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Blood and Tissue Collection

    Other intervention

    Samples will be collected at baseline (prior to treatment), over four cycles of therapy, at six months, and at disease progression. When available, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples will also be obtained. Tissue samples of the biopsy or additional biopsy done as part of standard of care during the course of treatment will also be collected if available. Specimen number of the biopsy or additional biopsy done as part of standard of care during the course of treatment will also be collected. Specimen number for tissue will be collected to reference for future tissue collection.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Establish a comprehensive blood and tissue biobank

To establish a comprehensive blood and tissue biobank from patients with advanced-stage non-small cell and extensive-stage small cell lung, metastatic squamous cell head and neck cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma who are initiating first-line chemo-immunotherapy, with the goal of supporting future genomic research.

Time frame
Samples will be collected at baseline (prior to treatment), over four cycles of therapy, at six months, and at disease progression; total participant duration minimum of 1 year
