  • Research summary

    Study BX43361 is a global, interventional, multicentre, master biomarker screening study. No drug treatment will be given to participants on this study.

    This screening study provides tissue biomarker testing to determine enrolled patients’ potential eligibility, based on their biomarker status, for a Roche-sponsored clinical trial linked to this master screening study.

    Tumour tissue samples from enrolled patients will be analysed using a central laboratory.

    Within the early-stage non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) field, a number of studies and collaborations have successfully used a common screening platform, either within a master protocol design, or as a separate study to help identify appropriate patients to participate in clinical trials involving targeted therapies.

    This common screening approach aims to provide a more streamlined recruitment process into the linked treatment cohorts and studies for both patients and investigators, as well as potentially lower screen failure rates through access to validated broader biomarker testing.

    This master screening study will be conducted initially only to identify biomarker eligible patients with either locally advanced, unresectable Stage III NSCLC or Stage I to IIIA NSCLC requiring adjuvant treatment However, it is anticipated that this study will be amended in the future to include additional linked Roche clinical trials.

    The aim is to recruit approximately 15,000 patients into the study with up to 1,000 from the UK.
    The study will last approximately 10 years from first patient screened to end of study.
    The study is sponsored by F. Hoffmann- La Roche
