Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Case cohort: Patients with proven EGFR mutation in exons 18-21 from tumor material. Control cohort: Patients known to be somatic EGFR "wild-type," i.e. no mutation detected in exons 18-21 from tumor material.

  • Histologically or cytologically diagnosed NSCLC, all histologies are acceptable.
  • Patients can be included in the study with any disease stage and at any time during the disease course.
  • Any type (surgery, RadioTherapy, chemotherapy, targeted agents) of previous treatment and any line of treatment are eligible.
  • Age ≥18 years.

Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial.

Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP (International Conference on Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice), and national/local regulations.

About this study

Official title: Genetics of EGFR Mutation Study (GEM): a Translational Study of the EORTC Lung Group.

The investigators wish to document the distribution of EGFR somatic mutations, and assess the relationship between specific genotype, clinical demographic, therapy, and survival, in a large cohort of EGFR mutant NSCLC.

The investigators also wish to comprehensively investigate the relationship between germline DNA and risk of EGFR mutant NSCLC developing, through a GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies) and candidate gene approach, and explore the relationship between germline DNA and clinical outcome, in order to potentially identify germline genetic modifiers of EGFR TKI (Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor) outcome.

Read the detailed description

Objective 1: To identify germline allelic DNA variation associated with somatic EGFR mutation in NSCLC, Objective 2: Correlation between germline allelic variants and survival in EGFR somatic mutant NSCLC.

Objective 3: Study germline allelic DNA variation associated with never /ex light smoking NSCLC.

Objective 4: Catalogue distribution of somatic EGFR mutant genotypes in 1,000 EGFR mutant NSCLC cases and describe their relationship to clinical outcome.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01838577
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Case cohortPatients with proven EGFR mutation in exons 18-21 from tumor material. Patients with unknown or failed tumor EGFR genotyping will be ineligible. Patients subsequently undergoing re-genotyping which demonstrates an EGFR mutation will become eligible for the "case" cohort. No known somatic KRAS, HER2, LKB1, BRAF, or PI3K, mutation or ALK gene rearrangement (or ALK3+ immunohistochemistry). If these mutations are known to be present the patient will be ineligible. However, patients will not be tested specifically for these mutations for this study and patients with unknown status are acceptable. If patients are subsequently tested after enrollment and found to harbor any of these mutations they will be considered ineligible and will be replaced. No known Li Fraumeni, Li Fraumeni-like, or Peutz Jeghers syndrome family, or known germline carriers of mutant LKB1 or TP53. Patients will not have to be tested specifically for these syndromes to be eligible for this study.
Control cohortPatients known to be somatic EGFR "wild-type," i.e. no mutation detected in exons 18-21 from tumor material. Patients with unknown or failed EGFR genotyping will be ineligible. Patients subsequently undergoing re-genotyping which demonstrates an EGFR wild-type will become eligible for the "control" cohort. Never smoker (<100 cigarettes in lifetime) or ex-light smoker (stopped ≥1 year ago and smoked ≤10 pack-years).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. For the second objective, the primary endpoint is Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: 5 years from FPI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of EGFR Mutation Positive Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

For the second objective, the primary endpoint is Overall survival (OS) (time frame: 5 years from FPI). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2021.
