New test aims to match lung cancer patients with best therapy
NCT ID NCT07250477
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether using a proteomic test (PROphet CB) and a toxicity assessment (CARG-TT) to guide first-line treatment can improve 12-month survival in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. About 56 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or a personalized treatment plan based on these tests. The goal is to see if this tailored approach leads to better outcomes and fewer severe side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) with or without chemotherapy, guided by a proteomic test (PROphet CB) and a toxicity risk assessment (CARG-TT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help doctors choose the most effective first-line treatment for each patient with advanced lung cancer, potentially improving survival and reducing side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase (phase 2) trial with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The proteomic test is new and unproven, and the treatment may not improve outcomes or could cause unexpected side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer that is metastatic or unresectable (stage IIIC or IV), deemed appropriate to receive standard of care immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy given with palliative intent. * Age ≥18 years at the time of consent. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥50%). * Ability to understand and willingness to sign the informed consent form (ICF). * Stated ability and willingness to adhere to all protocol requirements while on study Exclusion Criteria: * Tumor with known sensitizing alteration in ALK, EGFR, HER2, MET exon 14, NTRK, RET, or ROS1. * Medical comorbidities precluding immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy per treating investgator's discretion. * Previous systemic therapy for metastatic Stage IIIC or IV NSCLC. Patients who previously completed systemic therapy for early stage or locally advanced NSCLC ≥ 80 days prior to trial registration are eligible for inclusion. * Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's safety or compliance while on study
