Blood test may predict cancer treatment success
NCT ID NCT04056247
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a tool that can predict whether a cancer patient will benefit from their prescribed therapy. Researchers are analyzing blood samples from 10,000 people with advanced lung cancer or melanoma before and during treatment. The goal is to develop an algorithm that helps doctors choose the most effective treatment for each patient.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
1. Stage IV NSCLC patients treated with ICI or a combination of ICI and chemotherapy in any line of treatment, or with chemotherapy as a first line treatment. 2. Stage III unresectable NSCLC patients treated with ICI therapy or ICI in combination with chemotherapy. 3. Stage IV malignant melanoma patients treated with any regimen that includes ICI therapy as a monotherapy or in combination with targeted therapy in any line of treatment. In specific sites, Stage IV melanoma patients treated with targeted therapy (as a reference population). 4. Stage IIIb-d malignant melanoma patients treated with any regimen that includes ICI therapy as monotherapy or in combination with targeted therapy as adjuvant therapy. 5. Stage IV SCLC patients treated with any regimen of ICI, chemotherapy or combination of ICI and chemotherapy in any line of treatment.

Inclusion criteria * Provision of informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures. * Male or female aged at least 18 years. * ECOG PS - 0/1-2 * Normal hematologic, renal and liver function: 1. Absolute neutrophil count higher than 1500/mm3 2. Platelets count higher than 100,000/mm3 3. haemoglobin higher than 9 g/dL 4. Creatinine concentration ≤1.4 mg/dL, or creatinine clearance higher than 40 mL/min 5. Total bilirubin lower than 1.5 mg/dL, ALT and AST levels ≤ 3 times above the upper normal limit. * At least one measurable lesion in order to enable the assessment of the response (except for stage IIIb-d malignant melanoma patients).
