Immune and Genomic Markers in ALK+ NSCLC

Brief Title

Immune and Genomic Markers in ALK+ NSCLC

Official Title

Elucidating Novel Immune and Genomic Markers for ALK (ENIGMA+)

Brief Summary

      The purpose of this research study is to obtain and study clinical history, and tissue and
      saliva specimens if available from participants with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-ALK+
      Non-Small Lung Cancer(NSCLC)
    

Detailed Description

      The purpose of this study is to establish a registry of clinical data and tumor specimens of
      patients with advanced ALK+ non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) (defined as NSCLC harboring an ALK
      gene rearrangement). This will allow in-depth, comprehensive genomic and immunophenotypic
      analyses of ALK+ tumors. Together with the clinical data, these biologic specimens will
      enable the conduct of basic and translational research to identify genomic and immunologic
      markers associated with clinical outcomes for ALK+ patients.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Cohort 1 - Alive Individuals

          -  Men or women 18 years of age or the age of majority for their residential state of the
             United States, or older, at the time of consent.

          -  Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced stage IIIB-IIIC not amenable to
             curative approach multi-modality (e.g., chemoradiation and/or surgery) treatment, or
             stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

          -  Demonstration of having advanced ALK+ NSCLC, as assessed by fluorescence in situ
             hybridization (FISH), immunohistochemistry (IHC), next-generation sequencing (NGS) or
             circulating tumor DNA analysis (ctDNA). For ALK FISH, fusions must have been detected
             in at least 15% of tumor cells.

          -  Willingness to provide clinical and medical information to the study team as required.

          -  Willingness to provide archival tumor tissue, if available. Patients may enroll even
             if no tumor tissue is available.

          -  Ability to read, write and communicate in English.

          -  Ability to sign a web-based informed consent form.

        Cohort 2 - Deceased Individuals

          -  Deceased individuals diagnosed with advanced ALK+ lung cancer at age 18 years or older
             may be studied on a case by case basis. Inclusion will require availability of
             adequate archived tissue and release of tissue and records by next of kin, if
             available.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Participants who are unwilling to provide informed consent.

          -  Participants who are younger than 18 years of age.

          -  Participants who are unable to comply with the study procedures.

          -  Known existence of an uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to,
             psychiatric illness or social situations that would impair compliance with study
             requirements.

          -  Participants who have previously enrolled to the study.
