Use of Serial Plasma NGS as a New Efficacy Metric to Guide Immunotherapy Treatment Discontinuation

Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this prospective study to investigate the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to guide end of therapy decisions in patients with melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: • Do patients with metastatic melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer, who have received at least 12 months of immune checkpoint inhibition (monotherapy or in combination) with evidence of disease response/control on imaging and have no evidence of circulating tumor DNA, have an increased 12-month disease free survival in comparison to historical controls?

Evaluation of ctDNA using the F1T after 1 year of immunotherapy

Patients with evidence of disease control after at least 10months of an ICI-based therapy will initially undergo a pre-screen. In patients with successful F1CDx baseline tissue testing whole blood will be collected and evaluated for plasma ctDNA measurement. If there is detectable ctDNA during the pre-screening period, patients will be excluded from enrollment. If there is no detectable ctDNA, patients will be eligible to screen and enroll in the main study. If enrolled, patients will stop ICI- based treatment and continue with serial ctDNA at pre-specified timepoints. The treating physician will not be blinded to the serial ctDNA results There will be no proscriptive therapeutic measures outlined if ctDNA becomes detectable while on study.
