Longitudinal Assessment of Genomic Alterations and Clonal Evolution in ALK-positive NSCLC (Galileo Project)
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
The scope of GALILEO project (Genomic ALteratIons and cLonal EvOlution in ALK+ NSCLC) is to explore the feasibility of genomic longitudinal evaluation for ALK+ NSCLC patients in Italian routine practice and provide a detailed overview of resistance mechanisms and clinical outcomes according to current standard treatments.
Official title: "GALILEO (Genomic ALteratIons and cLonal EvOlution in ALK+ NSCLC) - Valutazione Longitudinale Delle Alterazioni Genomiche e Clonali Nei Pazienti Affetti da Neoplasie Polmonari ALK-riarrangiate".

Interventions
Biopsy (tissue or liquid)
At the time of diagnosis, all newly diagnosed ALK+ NSCLC patients eligible for first line treatment with alectinib or brigatinib or lorlatinib will be considered for the study. In case of progression, a multidisciplinary team (oncologists, interventional pneumologists and radiologists, surgeons) will discuss case-by-case the feasibility to procure an adequate biopsy from progressing lesions. Repeat biopsies will be performed within 2 weeks from multidisciplinary evaluation and before the start of subsequent treatment. If repeat biopsies are not technically or safely feasible or fail to yield sufficient material for genomic analysis, we will collect a whole blood drawn by venepuncture for the analysis of ctDNA.
