About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Blood Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) for Improved Efficacy of Atezolizumab in 2nd Line Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [BUDDY]

This is single arm, prospective, multi-center, cohort study to evaluate blood TMB for improved efficacy of atezolizumab in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC at the study enrollment who failed one or more prior lines of chemotherapy including at least 1 platinum-based.

Read the detailed description

Atezolizumab is approved as the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and the treatment is available on the National Health Insurance Service in South Korea. Patients will be treated with atezolizumab until loss of clinical benefit or unmanageable toxicity as routine practice.

In this study, the investigators will register patients who have a plan to be treated with atezolizumab as MFDS approval condition and meet study inclusion and exclusion criteria. The investigators will collect study related information during routine practice and collect blood and/or tissue(optional) samples to conduct the study.

Tumor assessment will be performed by investigator on the base of RECIST (version 1.1) and related information will be collected until disease progression for patients who have discontinued treatment. However, it will be collected until treatment discontinuation for patients who continue to receive atezolizumab following initial disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR between blood TMB-High vs. Low group

    Measured: At the end of cycle 3 (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS in Intention-to-treat (ITT) population and subgroups according to blood TMB and programmed cell death-1 (PDL1) status

    Measured: At the end of cycle 3 (each cycle is 21 days)

  2. Safety profile

    Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events as assessed by CTCAE version 4

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atezolizumab Injection [Tecentriq] in people with Lung Neoplasm Malignant, run by Chonnam National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2023. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: At the end of cycle 3 (each cycle is 21 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04059887, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 8 Feb 2023.
