About this trial

This is an investigator led trial which will examine the role of a patient’s exhaled breath; if it can be used check the patient’s molecular response to immunotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
To do this cfDNA will be extracted from patient EBC and Blood samples, a response will be defined as a 50% reduction in total cfDNA from the baseline sample acheived at either 3 or 6 week samples (or both).
There has been no previous reports of using patients’ breath samples of Patients with NSCLC to assess their response to treatment. In this trial an exhaled Breath and blood samples will be collected from eligible patients who complete informed consent before treatment for NSCLC starts and during their treatment at specific time points.
