About this trial
This study is being done to collect tissue samples to test how accurately a tumor response platform, Elephas, can predict clinical response across multiple types of immunotherapies, chemoimmunotherapy and tumor types.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Lung: Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Skin: Cutaneous Malignancy, excluding Uveal Melanoma
Esophageal Cancer
Cervical Cancer
Disqualifiers
Pregnant women because this study involves a greater than minimal risk procedure (biopsy)
Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety for the biopsy
Immunocompromised patients and patients known to be HIV positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy
NOTE: Patients known to be HIV positive, but without clinical evidence of an immunocompromised state, are eligible for this trial
Trial population
Patients at Mayo Clinic in Rochester who are suspected of or diagnosed with Stage III or IV/metastatic cancer or receiving neoadjuvant (pre-operative) checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) for a resectable early stage of solid malignancies
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Biospecimen Collection
Procedure/SurgeryUndergo optional research blood sample.
Tissue Collection
Procedure/SurgeryTissue specimen collection will be completed with your scheduled standard of care biopsy if possible. If standard of care biopsy is already completed or the research biopsy wasn\'t collected at the time as your standard of care biopsy, then the research biopsy will be scheduled for a different day for research purposes only.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Accuracy of the Elephas Score for predicting clinical response in neoadjuvant patients
Assessed based on pathologic complete response (pCR) during checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) treatment. Clinical non-response will be defined as non-pathological complete response. Patients who cannot have pathologic complete response determined will be excluded from the primary analysis.
Accuracy of the Elephas Score for predicting clinical response in locally advanced/metastatic patients
Assessed based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) score for best overall response \[complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)\] during checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) treatment. Clinical non-response will be defined as either stable disease (SD) or disease progression (PD). Patients who cannot have best response determined will be excluded from the primary analysis.
