This research study is investigating the role of cell free tumor DNA profiling in determining disease relapse and/or progression for patients with advanced NSCLC.
The objective of this study is to determine the ability of cell free tumor DNA genomic profiling to predict disease relapse or progression while on therapy for advanced stage NSCLC in comparison to current standard objective measures of disease relapse or progression. This study is a prospective observational study. The investigators will assess whole genome sequencing from patient blood samples collected alongside routine blood draws with each treatment cycle to determine the tumor load score at each timepoint while on therapy. CT images will be obtained at routinely ordered timepoints throughout therapy and will be used in the assessment for standard clinical or radiographic evidence of disease progression. These methods of measuring disease progression will be compared in a lead time analysis.
