Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants must have histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer that is metastatic or unresectable (stage IIIC or IV), deemed appropriate to receive standard of care immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy given with palliative intent.
  • Age ≥18 years at the time of consent.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥50%).
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign the informed consent form (ICF).
  • Stated ability and willingness to adhere to all protocol requirements while on study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Tumor with known sensitizing alteration in ALK, EGFR, HER2, MET exon 14, NTRK, RET, or ROS1.
  • Medical comorbidities precluding immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy per treating investgator's discretion.
  • Previous systemic therapy for metastatic Stage IIIC or IV NSCLC. Patients who previously completed systemic therapy for early stage or locally advanced NSCLC ≥ 80 days prior to trial registration are eligible for inclusion.
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's safety or compliance while on study

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Systemic immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT

active comparator: Standard of Care

Standard of care (SOC) biomarker assessment and subsequent selection of SOC systemic therapy.

Interventions

Systemic (ICI)-based therapy informed by the PROphet CB assay and the CARG-TT assessment.

Pretreatment assessment with PROphet CB and CARG-TT, which will be used to determine which first-line systemic treatment participants in the intervention arm receive. Systemic treatment will be pre-determined by the trial, according to the results from PROphet CB and CARG-TT.

Standard of Care

Standard of care (SOC) biomarker testing followed by first-line treatment with either anti-PD(L)1 Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy or anti-PD(L)1 ICI + chemotherapy.

Primary outcome measure

  • The primary objective is to evaluate 12-month progression free survival (PFS) of systemic therapy informed by PROphet CB and CARG-TT (intervention arm) versus standard of care systemic therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months. ]
