Protocol 1- A Pilot Study of Local Ablative Therapy for Treatment of Oligoprogressive, EGFR-Mutated, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) After Treatment with Osimertinib (AZD9291, Tagrisso) Project summary- This protocol recently opened. We have enrolled 6 patients in the last two months. We have 3 patients in EGFR mutated, TKI naive cohort. 1 patient in T790M positive 1st/2nd generation EGFR TKI resistant cohort and 1 patient in the cohort in which patients were on osimertinib elsewhere and developed acquired resistance to osimertinib. This patient was eligible for local ablative therapy (LAT), underwent a right adrenalectomy for metastasis progression, and will undergo definitely RT to two other progressive sites and will be re-challenged with osimertinib in mid-August. Protocol 2- Tissue Procurement and Natural History Study of Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer, Extrapulmonary Small Cell Cancer, Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors, and Thymic Epithelial Tumors. Project summary- This protocol is actively recruiting. 96 patients have been recruited. This is the only study for tissue procurement in our thoracic oncology clinic for patients of all histologies except mesothelioma in which patients can get enrolled even if they are not enrolled in any treatment protocol at the NIH. There is a separate such protocol for mesothelioma (PI- Dr. Hassan). The tumor tissue acquired from this protocol will be used for validation of potential biomarkers of treatment response and resistance. Candidates will primarily be from the basic and pre-clinical proteomics studies performed in our laboratory. This protocol will also allow correlative studies for all other treatment protocols conducted in our clinic. Protocol 3- A pilot study of inpatient hospice with procurement of tissue on expiration in thoracic malignancies. Project summary- We have performed six autopsies on this protocol. It is quite challenging to acquire tumor tissue from various sites of metastatic disease in patients. However, such a tissue bank is a unique resource for various research studies. A rapid autopsy protocol enables viable tissue procurement for generation of cell lines, creation of patient-derived xenografts (PDX), and proper storage and fixation for research studies. This requires a close collaboration with pathologists, pain and palliative care specialists, nurses and social workers. The NIH Clinical Center has all the resources needed to conduct such a study. The patients who visit the Clinical Center are also very motivated and often want to contribute to research in Oncology at the end of their life. The overall goal of this protocol is to examine the extent of tumor heterogeneity in various thoracic malignancies and how it influences targeted treatment response. The proteo-genomic studies proposed are actively being conducted in our and in our collaborators' laboratories within the intramural program. We have performed sequencing of 52 exomes and 30 transcriptomes to interrogate both intra-tumor and inter-tumor heterogeneity in these patients. We are currently analyzing the genomics data. The same sites of disease that underwent next-generation sequencing will undergo mass spectrometry-based proteomics to examine the heterogeneity at the protein level and in signaling pathways. The genomics and the proteomics studies on these rapid autopsy samples will be correlated to get a comprehensive analysis of the extent of heterogeneity and how it may have influenced treatment response in these patients. Protocol 4- Pilot trial of molecular profiling and targeted therapy for advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer, and Thymic malignancies. Project summary- Currently this is closed to accrual for new patients on all treatment arms, except for patients with potential EGFR germline mutations. Such patients are enrolled and tested for EGFR germline mutations. We are following several members of two families harboring the EG |
