ClinConnect Summary

The Galileo Project is a clinical trial designed to study patients with a specific type of lung cancer known as ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has reached an advanced stage (Stage IV). The trial aims to understand how the cancer changes over time and how these changes affect treatment outcomes. Researchers want to see if regular genetic testing can help doctors better understand the resistance mechanisms that may make treatments less effective for patients receiving standard therapies.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be adults (18 years or older) with a confirmed diagnosis of advanced ALK-positive NSCLC. They should have already received a type of targeted treatment for at least 28 days. The trial is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and individuals must be able to provide informed consent. Those who do not have the ALK gene alteration or had to stop treatment early due to side effects without any sign of disease progression are not eligible. Participants can expect to undergo regular assessments and genetic testing, contributing valuable information to improve future treatments for others with the same condition.

Eligibility criteria

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • a) histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced NSCLC with ALK rearrangement detection by NGS (ALK+ NSCLCs patients detected at diagnosis by in hybridization (FISH), immunohistochememistry (IHC), or reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) can be included if adequate tissue for NGS is available)
  • b) to have received upfront treatment with alectinib, brigatinib or lorlatinib for at least 28 days
  • c) ECOG PS 0-2
  • d) adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) at the moment of diagnosis
  • e) signing of informed consent approved by the local Ethic Committee
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • a) Diagnosis of lung cancer without ALK rearrangement
  • a) early withdrawn of treatment due to toxicity without evidence of radiological disease progression cannot be eligible for the study
