Observational Study of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for Lung Cancer with Bone Metastases

This observational study looks at how well different treatments work for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the bones. You could be eligible if you have NSCLC with bone metastases and are between 18 and 100 years old. The study has two groups: one receiving targeted therapy called Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) for specific genetic changes, and another receiving standard chemotherapy/immunotherapy along with either Zoledronic Acid (ZOMETA) or Denosumab (XGEVA) for bone disease. Researchers will measure changes in certain markers in your urine (NTX) and blood (CTX) after 3 months to see how the treatments affect your bones. This study aims to understand how these standard treatments impact bone health in patients like you.

Study design
This is an observational study with two groups, involving 100 planned participants. It is not a randomized or blinded study.
What's involved
You will have baseline and on-treatment imaging and blood tests as part of your standard care. Additionally, urine and blood bone turnover markers will be checked at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Bone turnover markers will be checked for up to 12 months after treatment begins.

  • Percentage reduction of urine NTX and serum CTX3 months post-treatment

    The percentage reduction in the bone turnover markers including urine N-telopeptide (NTX) and serum C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) from baseline at 3 months from starting TKI (oncogene arm) or anti-resorptive therapy as part of standard systemic therapy (non-oncogene arm).
