Patient with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that might have a genetic change (mutation) in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) are invited to take part in this study. This research study is evaluating a new blood test that is capable of detecting an EGFR mutation in cancer without a biopsy.
Name: Erlotinib
Description: Number of participants who were alive with evidence of complete or partial response, evaluated using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients that underwent rapid plasma genotyping and had an EGFR mutation and who were treated with erlotinib were included in this calculation.
Measure: Overall Response Rate Time: From date of erlotinib initiation until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first. ORR was assessed up to 21 months after erlotinib initiation.Description: The turnaround time from study registration to treatment initiation was recorded for the plasma genotyping strategy versus standard tumor genotyping. For rapid plasma genotyping, turnaround time is the time between ordering plasma genotyping and obtaining results; this time period was compared to the turnaround time of obtaining the tumor genotyping results.
Measure: Turnaround Time Time: Maximum 38 daysDescription: Concordance between results of plasma genotyping and tumor genotyping, among patients with tissue available for standard genotyping
Measure: Positive Predictive Value (PPV) And False Negative Rate Of Plasma Genotyping Time: PPV and False Negative Rate can be assessed when plasma and tissue results are available for each patient; average plasma result turnaround time was 4 days, versus average of 20 days for tissue result turnaround time.Allocation: N/A
Single Group Assignment
There is one SNP
Biopsy requirement may be waived if not technically feasible and plasma genotyping reveals an eligible EGFR mutation (exon 19 del/L858R). --- L858R ---
