There is one clinical trial.
Feasibility of new biological and histological samples at progression in patients with advanced or metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). A recent paper from Professor Sequist and coll. has depicted the resistance mechanisms as Thréonine790Methionine (T890M) mutation oncogene cMet (CMet) amplification. Re-biopsies showed in 14% of cases the transition between NSCLC to Small Cells Lung Cancer (SCLC). In 3 patients, resistance mechanisms have disappeared and they became again sensitive to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs). It is mandatory to have a better description to natural history of the disease. This study will be conducted by the French Group of Pneumology-Oncology (Groupe Français de Pneumo Cancérologie (GFPC)) up to 100 patients during 18 Months. Each center will have to define if re-biopsies are possible or not and explain why not.

Description: Feasibility of re-biopsies in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC after progression of disease under treatment. If the re-biopsy could not be performed : reason of no re-biopsy. If the biopsy could be performed : site and method of rebiopsy.
Measure: Feasibility of re-biopsies Time: 18 months / 100 patientsDescription: Comparison of types and numbers of resistances before treatment (on the first biopsy) and after treatment (on the re-biopsy). Appearance and/or disappearance of some resistances.
Measure: Type of resistance Time: 18 months/100 patientsDescription: Description of population: age, performance status, smoking status, sex (number, medium, maximum, minimum). Description of treatment: chemotherapy (type and products), radiotherapy (site), surgery (site)
Measure: Disease management Time: 18 months / 100 patientsDescription: Description and comparison of histology on the first biopsy and on the rebiopsy
Measure: Biological history of the disease Time: 18 months / 100 patients
