项目摘要

Circulating Tumor Cells Analyses and Molecular Profiling for Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy ABSTRACT We propose to develop a circulating tumor cell (CTC) assay with unique features and efficacy superior to currently available CTC assays. CTC assays have attracted intense recent attention because of the potential to serially interrogate the biology of solid tumors with minimal risk. The resulting information obtained, including genetic information predicting response to targeted therapy, may inform the clinical management of patients receiving radiation therapy (RT), thus “personalizing treatment” in ways previously unachievable. We propose to study non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma, two solid tumors of strategic importance and for which we have protocols rapidly accruing patients. These disease sites represent high priority for RT treatment in our investigational clinical trials and represent examples of respectively, epithelial and non-epithelial tumors. We have achieved preliminary data that suggests our approach successfully detects CTCs in patients for whom the current FDA-approved CTC assay is ineffective. Key questions regarding CTC analyses remain, the answers to which would inform how best to incorporate these assays into standard radiation oncology practice. These questions include: (1) Can CTCs be detected in a range of solid tumors undergoing radiation therapy (RT) or other forms of treatment? (2) Do CTC counts give lead-time notice of disease recurrence or progression? (3) Can the genetic background of the identified CTCs be elucidated and does it change over time and after treatment? We will employ a CTC detection method that relies on the elevated telomerase activity in almost all tumors, a hallmark of cancer, which is impervious to limitations posed by the lack of surface expression of tumor markers. In Specific Aim 1 we will track CTC counts in patients with a range of presentations of localized NSCLC undergoing RT to test whether CTC analysis can give lead time notice of tumor recurrence. Aim 2 will test whether CTC analysis is effective in melanoma patients undergoing treatment, including radiation and immunotherapy. For Aim 3, we will test whether the genetic profile of CTCs changes after treatment, including DNA mutations that predict for response to biologically targeted agents. Our successful accomplishment of these scientific aims will illuminate the potential usefulness of CTC assays for a wide range of patients receiving RT and other anticancer treatment.

循环的肿瘤细胞分析和接受的患者分子分析放射治疗抽象的我们建议开发具有独特特征并轻松的循环肿瘤细胞（CTC）测定优于当前可用的CTC分析。 CTC分析引起了最近的关注因为有可能串行质疑具有最小风险的实体瘤的生物学。这获得的信息，包括预测对目标的响应的遗传信息治疗，可以告知接受放射治疗（RT）的患者的临床管理，因此以前无法实现的方式“个性化治疗”。我们建议研究非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）和黑色素瘤，两个具有战略意义的实体瘤，我们为此具有迅速累积患者的方案。这些疾病部位代表了RT的高优先级在我们的研究临床试验中的治疗，分别代表上皮的例子和非上皮肿瘤。我们已经实现了提示我们方法的初步数据成功检测到当前FDA批准的CTC分析的患者中的CTC 无效。有关CTC分析的关键问题仍然存在，其答案将告知如何最好地将这些测定纳入标准辐射肿瘤学实践中。这些问题包括：（1）可以在辐射的一系列实体瘤中检测到CTC 治疗（RT）或其他形式的治疗？（2）do ctc计数给出疾病的提前时间通知复发还是进展？（3）确定的CTC的遗传背景可以阐明，它会随着时间和治疗后随着时间而变化吗？我们将使用CTC检测依赖于几乎所有肿瘤的端粒酶活性升高的方法，这是癌症的标志，这是由于缺乏肿瘤标记表面表达所带来的局限性。在特定目标1我们将跟踪具有一系列本地化介绍的患者的CTC计数 NSCLC正在进行RT以测试CTC分析是否可以给出肿瘤的提前时间通知复发。 AIM 2将测试CTC分析是否对正在进行的黑色素瘤患者有效治疗，包括放射线和免疫疗法。对于AIM 3，我们将测试是否遗传治疗后CTC的轮廓变化，包括预测对响应的DNA突变生物靶向剂。我们成功实现这些科学目标将阐明了CTC分析的潜在有用性，用于接收RT的广泛患者其他抗癌治疗。
