Biomarker-Integrated Targeted Therapy for Lung Cancer Elimination

Hypotheses of the BATTLE Program Multiple hubs of dysregulated signaling pathways associated with lung cancer Specific altered dominant signaling pathways –EGFR axis –VEGF axis –Retinoid axis –Cyclin D1 axis –Ras/Raf axis –PI3 K/AKT-mTOR axis Altered biomarkers representing aberrant pathways of lung cancer can be detected Molecularly targeted agent(s) matched dysregulated pathways lead to improved clinical response or disease control

Endpoints Primary endpoint –Anticancer activity (progression-free survival rate at 2 months) in patients with stage IV NSCLC Secondary endpoints –Response rate –Overall survival –Time to progression Biologic endpoint inclusive of a tissue biopsy –Receptor modulation, endothelial cell apoptosis –To explore the effects of therapy on surrogate markers in serum
73
Summary New targeted therapies may improve treatment outcomes either in combination with chemotherapy or as part of a biologic therapy cocktail Patient selection may be critical, and toward this end further molecular studies are needed Correlative scientific enquiries with tissue analysis and blood based biomarkers to match predictive markers with clinical outcome should become a component of future trials

Three of these are felt to have been related to excessive V20 and unrelated to cetuximab Median survival, 22.7 months 24-month survival is 49.3%! Komaki R, et al.
