About this trial
A multicenter, national pharmacological observational study that has as its overall goal to implement a set of validated and agreed upon European-wide questionnaires (PROMs - patient's reported outcomes) to assess patients' perceptions of aspects of their lives based on the treatment they are receiving.
Specifically, with the research we present here, we aim to obtain data on patients' health and condition, including quality of life, symptom status, physical function, mental health (anxiety and depression), sleep quality, and sexuality as useful indicators not only of patient well-being but also of the effectiveness of the treatment itself.
The study involves the following: patients will be asked to complete online questionnaires at the following timepoints: before the start of treatment, after 4 and 8 treatment cycles, and at disease progression.
Data will also be collected regarding the patient's oncological medical history, treatment performed, response to treatment at CT/PET reevaluations, any toxicities that arose during treatment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age > 18 years
Diagnosis of Stage IV NSCLC with PD-L1 <50%, without actionable genomic alterations
Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF) to the study
Patients eligible to receive first line treatment with combo chemo-immuno treatments as standard of care
Disqualifiers
None
Trial population
Patients with diagnosis of unresectable or advanced NSCLC eligible for first line chemo- ICI (Cohort A) or double ICI-chemo (Cohort B) regimens. Up to 50 patients with squamous histology, treated with any chemo- immunotherapy scheme will be monitored for QoL parameters as a prospective exploratory observational cohort and will not be included in the sample size calculation.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To evaluate what kind of first line treatment for metastatic lung adenocarcinoma has a better impact on quality of life of the patients
QoL domains assessed by EORTC QLQ-C-30 and LC13 at baseline and after 4 cycles. All questionnaires used in this study are validated questionnaires
Secondary outcomes
To assess the impact on overall survival of all the PROMs items under investigation
* QoL domains assessed by EORTC QLQ-C-30 and LC13 after 8 cycles of treatment and at disease progression * Sleep (PSQI), emotional stress (PHQ-9, GAD 7-item scale), sexual health ((EORTC QLQ-SH- 22) and time toxicity after 4 cycles, 8 cycles, and at disease progression * Overall Survival
Other outcomes
- To assess the impact on overall survival of all the PROMs items under investigation in squamous NSCLC
QoL domains assessed by EORTC QLQ-C-30 and LC13 between double ICI-chemo or chemo- ICI regimens in patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC after 4 cycles, 8 cycles, and at disease progression.
- To assess the impact on PFS and RR in patients receiving different first line regimens
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Response Rate (RR) in each Cohort
