A comparison of baseline tumor characteristics in oncogene-driven cancers to tumor characteristics after early response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) targeted treatment will allow identification of early adaptive mechanisms of cell survival. This will facilitate targeting and termination of these survival/ resistance pathways before they develop with rational combinations of therapeutic agents to improve outcomes.
Description: change from baseline of tumor gene expression profile at 2 weeks. Global gene expression data will be collected using RNAseq
Measure: gene expression changes Time: baseline and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) for each patient.Description: change from baseline of protein gene expression profile at 2 weeks as measured by multiplex protein assay (proteins to be assayed include: e-cadherin, vimentin, fibronectin, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD206, PDL1, and CSF1R)
Measure: protein expression change Time: baseline and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) for each patient.Description: Correlation between the depths of tumor response (by RECIST v1.1) (percentage decrease in tumor size) with the presence of an EMT signature.
Measure: Depth of Response Time: Study startup through 36 monthsDescription: Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Measure: Evaluation of Adverse Events Time: Study startup through 36 monthsDescription: Success rate of early rebiopsy in obtaining tumor samples that have evaluable material for RNA Seq and other analyses
Measure: Success rate of Repeat Biopsy Time: Study startup through 36 monthsDescription: Length of PFS as per RECIST 1.1
Measure: Progression Free Survival Time: Study startup through 36 monthsOther
