A comparison of baseline tumor characteristics in oncogene-driven cancers to tumor characteristics after early response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) targeted treatment will allow identification of early adaptive mechanisms of cell survival. This will facilitate targeting and termination of these survival/ resistance pathways before they develop with rational combinations of therapeutic agents to improve outcomes.

RECRUITINGgene expression changes
change from baseline of tumor gene expression profile at 2 weeks. Global gene expression data will be collected using RNAseq
Time frame: baseline and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) for each patient.
protein expression change
change from baseline of protein gene expression profile at 2 weeks as measured by multiplex protein assay (proteins to be assayed include: e-cadherin, vimentin, fibronectin, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD206, PDL1, and CSF1R)
Time frame: baseline and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) for each patient.
Depth of Response
Correlation between the depths of tumor response (by RECIST v1.1) (percentage decrease in tumor size) with the presence of an EMT signature.
Time frame: Study startup through 36 months
