Adjuvant Lung Cancer Enrichment Marker Identification and Sequencing Trial (ALCHEMIST) (A151216)

General Information

Age Group

Adults

Status

Recruiting

Protocol Number

NCT02194738

Background Information

This phase III ALCHEMIST trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes.

Offered At

Inova Schar Cancer Institute
8081 Innovation Park Drive
Fairfax, VA 22031
A department of Inova Fairfax Hospital

Eligibility Information

  • For pre-surgical patients:
    • Suspected diagnosis of resectable non-small cell lung cancer; cancers with a histology of "adenosquamous" are considered a type of adenocarcinoma and thus a "nonsquamous" histology; patients with squamous cell carcinoma are eligible only if the registering site has EA5142 Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved
    • Suspected clinical stage of IIIA, II (IIA or IIB) or large IB (defined as size >= 4cm); Note: IB tumors < 4cm are NOT eligible; stage IB cancer based on pleural invasion is not eligible unless the tumor size is >= 4cm
  • For post-surgical patients:
    • Completely resected non-small cell lung cancer with negative margins (R0); patients with squamous cell carcinoma are eligible only if the registering site has EA5142 IRB approved
    • Pathologic stage IIIA, II (IIA or IIB) or large IB (defined as size >= 4 cm); Note: IB tumors < 4cm are NOT eligible; stage IB cancer based on pleural invasion is not eligible unless the tumor size is >= 4cm
    • Additional eligibility in protocol

Ineligibility Information

  • No patients who have received neoadjuvant therapy (chemo- or radio-therapy) for this lung cancer
  • No locally advanced or metastatic cancer requiring systemic therapy within 5 years prior to registration; no secondary primary lung cancer diagnosed concurrently or within 2 year prior to registration
  • No prior treatment with agents targeting EGFR mutation, ALK rearrangement, and PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4
  • No patients with recurrence of lung cancer after prior resection
  • Additional ineligibility in protocol
