Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to attempt to obtain an on-treatment biopsy in participants with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving standard treatment with a drug that targets the PD-1 or PD-L1 protein.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Participants with pathologically confirmed newly diagnosed or recurrent advanced NSCLC that is PD-L1 high by immunohistochemistry

Pre-Treatment Biopsy

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants screened for participation will include those with a diagnosis of advanced NSCLC who have undergone a pre-treatment biopsy prior to start of therapy with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor or who are medically able to undergo a biopsy if (1) no pre-treatment biopsy has been obtained and (2) no PD-(L)1 inhibitor has been started.

On-Treatment Biopsy

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All participants who receive at least 1 dose of PD-(L)1 inhibitor will be referred for a biopsy. The biopsy should be obtained within 4 weeks of first on-treatment imaging (usually performed \~6-9 weeks after beginning therapy) and will be performed in participants regardless of radiologic response.

Biopsy at Disease Progression

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All participants who develop disease progression after initial response to PD-(L)1 blockade will be considered for an additional, optional biopsy. Biopsies at disease progression are often obtained per standard of care within 4 weeks of documented progression on imaging and prior to the initiation of further systemic therapy.

Peripheral Blood-Based Studies

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All participants will have peripheral blood obtained on Day 1 of cycles 1-4 (0, 3, 6, and 9 weeks). At each time point, peripheral blood sample will be collected pre-treatment and used for analysis of T cell subsets and TCR sequencing.

Pre-Treatment Biopsy

Participants screened for participation will include those with a diagnosis of advanced NSCLC who have undergone a pre-treatment biopsy prior to start of therapy with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor or who are medically able to undergo a biopsy if (1) no pre-treatment biopsy has been obtained and (2) no PD-(L)1 inhibitor has been started.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

On-Treatment Biopsy

All participants who receive at least 1 dose of PD-(L)1 inhibitor will be referred for a biopsy. The biopsy should be obtained within 4 weeks of first on-treatment imaging (usually performed \~6-9 weeks after beginning therapy) and will be performed in participants regardless of radiologic response.
