项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT A tumor biopsy is traditionally performed for lung cancer diagnosis using either bronchoscopy through the airway or a needle aspiration through the chest wall. Advances in targeted and immune therapies now often require more tissue for molecular and immune profiling to optimally manage lung cancer. The yield for cancer diagnosis using modern bronchoscopic tools approaches only 50% across the spectrum of lung tumors biopsied, and the additional requirement for molecular and immune profiling erodes this yield further. This leads to delayed and suboptimal care, increased healthcare costs, and increased patient morbidity since patients can often require multiple procedures to obtain the correct information for treatment. Our group has recently demonstrated that targeted Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) – or a washing of the lung cancer performed during a procedure – is a reservoir of genomic and cellular biomarkers in the lung tumor macroenvironment (TMaE). Further, we have demonstrated that molecular analyses of BAL from the lung TMaE recapitulate cancer biology in the lung tumor microenvironment (TMiE). While BAL is very safe and routinely performed during bronchoscopy, to date, it is a pauci-cellular fluid that is of limited clinical utility for cancer diagnosis. Beyond cytology that is low yield, there are no molecular or cellular assays that are used in the clinic to fully inform providers who treat lung cancer. Because of this, rigorous attention to how methods of collection, patient host factors and processing of BAL will alter genomic and high dimensional cell based assays is lacking. Our central hypothesis is: BAL globally samples the tumor microenvironment (TMiE) to overcome limitations of tumor heterogeneity and is more sensitive than blood for immunogenomic profiling due to increased quantities of tumor specific biomarkers. To realize our goal and prove our hypothesis, in depth analysis of the conditions affecting BAL for high dimensional genome and cell assays is required. Here, we propose studying how basic conditions in the lung, variations in acquisition of BAL, and storage and processing of BAL affect its utility for comprehensive genome profiling and analysis of the T cell repertoire. Following identification of key pre-analytic variables, we propose a standard operating procedure for implementation in observational biomarker and first-in-man clinical trials to demonstrate the clinical utility of our approach. Proposal success will facilitate the introduction of novel molecular assays into the clinic that augment extant and developing blood and tumor assays. This approach will be particularly relevant as we move into the era of precision guided therapies for lung cancer treatment, which have begun to reduce mortality in even the most advanced stages, over the coming years and decades.

项目概要/摘要传统上使用支气管镜检查通过气道进行肿瘤活检以诊断肺癌或通过胸壁进行针抽吸，现在通常需要靶向和免疫疗法的进步。更多组织进行分子和免疫分析，以最佳地管理肺癌。使用现代支气管镜工具只能对 50% 的肺部肿瘤进行活检，而且对分子和免疫分析的额外要求进一步削弱了这一产量，这导致了延迟和结果。护理欠佳、医疗费用增加以及患者发病率增加，因为患者经常需要我们的小组最近已经证明，通过多种程序来获取正确的治疗信息。靶向支气管肺泡灌洗 (BAL) – 或手术过程中对肺癌进行的冲洗 – 是一种肺肿瘤宏观环境（TMaE）中的基因组和细胞生物标志物库此外，我们还有。证明来自肺 TMaE 的 BAL 的分子分析概括了肺肿瘤中的癌症生物学虽然 BAL 非常安全并且在支气管镜检查过程中常规进行，但迄今为止，它仍然是一种微环境。少细胞液对于癌症诊断的临床用途有限，除了细胞学产量低之外，还有其他方法。临床上没有使用任何分子或细胞测定来充分告知治疗肺癌的提供者。因此，严格关注 BAL 的收集方法、患者宿主因素和处理将如何我们的中心假设是：全球范围内缺乏改变基因组和高维细胞的检测方法。对肿瘤微环境（TMiE）进行采样以克服肿瘤异质性的局限性，并且更由于肿瘤特异性数量增加，免疫基因组分析比血液敏感为了实现我们的目标并证明我们的假设，深入分析影响 BAL 的条件。在这里，我们建议研究高维基因组和细胞分析的基本条件。肺、BAL 采集的变化以及 BAL 的存储和处理会影响其综合用途在确定关键的预分析变量之后，我们对 T 细胞库进行了基因组分析和分析。提出用于观察生物标志物和首次人体临床实施的标准操作程序证明我们的方法的临床实用性的试验将有助于新方法的引入。分子检测进入临床，增强现有和正在开发的血液和肿瘤检测。随着我们进入肺癌治疗的精准引导疗法时代，这一点尤其重要。在未来几年和几十年里，即使是在最晚期阶段，死亡率也开始降低。
