The Research Plan of Taiwan Precision Medicine

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the top three most common cancers in Taiwan. Targetable driver mutations in NSCLC are more prevalent in Asian population compared to those in Western population, which offers chances to apply suitable targeted therapies worldwide. For patients who failed to the treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the genetic mutations from next-generation sequencing (NGS) reports can serve as the reference of treatment selection. Moreover, the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 serves as a helpful indicator for the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). On the other hand, patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK mutations and PD-L1-negative NSCLC who received chemotherapy had relative poorer survival than those received suitable targeted therapies and ICIs. To further elucidate the underlying molecular genomic aberrations, as well as the clinical demographics and therapeutic outcomes in above subpopulations, it is necessary to have a national, multi-centers and population-focused research project to collect data completely. Tumor tissue will be collected from advanced NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK or with EGFR/ALK mutation after resistant to TKIs for next-generation sequencing analysis in a platform of data storage and sharing. The purpose of the precision medicine project is to establish tumor molecular profiling of specific NSCLC populations in Taiwan, to facilitate patients to have corresponding potential targeted therapeutics and suitable clinical trials, and to extend the median overall survival.

Fc-Engineered Anti-CTLA-4 Monoclonal Antibody in Advanced Cancer

This study is an open-label, Phase 1, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of a novel fragment crystallizable (Fc)-engineered immunoglobulin G1 anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (anti-CTLA-4) human monoclonal antibody (botensilimab) monotherapy and in combination with an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody (balstilimab), and to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in participants with advanced solid tumors. This study will also determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of botensilimab monotherapy and in combination with balstilimab.

Sasanlimab (PF-06801591, PD-1 Inhibitor) in Participants With Advanced Malignancies

This is a Phase 1b/2 protocol to evaluate pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of PF-06801591, a programmed death-1(PD-1) antagonist monoclonal antibody (mAb) in participants with advanced malignancies. This study consists of 2 parts: Phase 1b part (dose escalation and dose expansion) in patients with advanced malignancies in Asia and a global Phase 2 part in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Treatment and Biomarker Testing Patterns,Treatment Outcomes in a/m NSCLC With and Without Actionable Genomic Alterations

Planned study population consists of approximately 1500 adult patients with a/m NSCLC in Russia, in about 20 oncological centers (in each center it is expected to recruit about 75 patients) in different regions of Russia in order to provide representative study sample

PEmbRolizumab verSus chEmotherapy and pEmbrolizumab in Non-small-cell Lung Cancers (NSCLC) With PDL1 ≥ 50 %

PERSEE is a French national phase 3 academic study comparing the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination to pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC molecularly defined by a PDL1 expression ≥ 50% of tumour cells and no EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangement. The main hypothesis is the superiority of the chemo-immunotherapy combination over mono-immunotherapy in terms of progression-free survival evaluated by an independent review committee. One of the anticipated benefits of using the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination starting from the first line setting for NSCLC patients with PD L1 ≥ 50% is a reduced risk of early progression, which is known to occur with pembrolizumab monotherapy, and therefore, a better PFS.

Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of TQB2450 Injection Combined With Anlotinib Capsule and Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Immunoresistant Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Objective to compare the efficacy and safety of TQB2450 injection combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy, and TQB2450 injection combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer subjects who failed to receive first-line chemotherapy combined with immunization, and to explore and evaluate biomarkers related to efficacy, mechanism of action / resistance mechanism, and safety.
