Official title
KEAPnes: Transcriptional Framework for the Molecular Diagnosis of Response to Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer With Agnostic Potential
Overview
Through genomic and transcriptomic sequencing techniques (whole exome sequencing, WES; whole transcriptome sequencing, WTS) patients with enrichment for KEAPness and specific gene interactions associated with it.
Detailed description
Retrospective-prospective, non-pharmacological, biological, multicenter observational study, for which the collection and use of tissue samples from patients suffering from NSCLC and/or other tumor types. Through genomic and transcriptomic sequencing techniques (whole exome sequencing, WES; whole transcriptome sequencing, WTS) patients with enrichment for KEAPness and specific gene interactions associated with it. Subsequently, through the same techniques, applied to different tumor regions taken from operating site it will be possible to identify the evolution of the tumor at a spatio-temporal level and the immune subtype associated with the presence/absence of KEAPness. Finally, cell lines will be used to recapitulate what was observed in the patient and per-patient cohorts identify new pharmacological vulnerabilities associated with the characteristics of KEAPness.
Primary outcome measures
- Innovative molecular tool [Time frame: 24 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Tracing the evolutionary path [Time frame: 24 months]
- Identification of therapeutic vulnerabilities specific [Time frame: 24 months]
