New study tracks how gene mutations affect lung cancer treatment success
NCT ID NCT06494540
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is following 600 people in Germany with a type of advanced lung cancer (non-squamous non-small cell) who are starting a three-drug treatment: tremelimumab, durvalumab, and platinum chemotherapy. Researchers want to see how well the treatment works in real life, especially for patients with certain genetic mutations (like KRAS, STK11, KEAP1, or TP53). The goal is to learn which patients might benefit most from this combination, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tremelimumab, durvalumab, and platinum chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify which lung cancer patients benefit most from this combination therapy based on their genetic profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection and real-world variability. It does not test a new treatment, only gathers data on existing use.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients (≥18 years) with a histologically or cytologically confirmed NSQ mNSCLC (incl. LCNEC if considered NSCLC-like by the treating physician), planned treatment initiation with TDC according to applicable Summary of product characteristics (SmPCs) within routine clinical practice and initiated molecular gene panel analysis (including KRAS, STK11, KEAP1, and TP53) as well as PD-L1 and TTF-1 expression analyses are eligible for enrolment. Eligible patients will be included into the study after and independently of the treating physician's treatment and diagnostic decisions but no later than 21 days after application of the first TDC treatment cycle.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Aged ≥ 18 years * Decision to start first-line (1L) treatment with TDC according to the current SmPCs * Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSQ mNSCLC (incl. LCNEC if considered NSCLC-like by the treating physician) * No sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) alterations * Molecular Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) panel as per institutional standard has been initiated (including the following genes: KRAS, STK11, KEAP1, and TP53) * TTF-1 expression analysis has been initiated * PD-L1 expression analysis has been initiated * Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during treatment with durvalumab and for at least 3 months after the last dose of durvalumab * Ability to understand the study concept * Provision of signed informed consent form in accordance with applicable local provisions Exclusion Criteria: * Current participation in interventional clinical trials * Contraindications according to current SmPCs * Any active tumor other than metastatic NSCLC\* * Mixed histology NSCLC with both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components (adenosquamous carcinoma or any mixed NSQ- squamous tumor), regardless of the predominant component * determined by investigator as likely to influence the prognosis or management of mNSCLC
