Summary

Src expression has been identified in a majority of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) cell lines and there is preclinical evidence that Src family kinases may be important in hypoxic growth and angiogenesis in NSCLC. We hypothesize that the inhibition of Src pathway with dasatinib will demonstrate anti-tumor activity in early stage NSCLC, with a tolerable safety profile.

Patients will receive dasatinib, a Src inhibitor, for 3 weeks prior to surgical resection for early stage NSCLC. Fresh frozen tumor tissue is needed for genomic analysis. If fresh frozen tumor tissue is not available from the initial diagnosis, a biopsy will be required to participate in this trial. A second tumor sample will be obtained at time of surgical resection to evaluate for changes in genomic expression profiles.

Patients will be eligible to receive 3 months of adjuvant dasatinib therapy after completion of standard adjuvant therapy or after recovery from surgery if no standard adjuvant therapy is given, if there is evidence of neoadjuvant tumor response (radiologic and/or pathologic) to dasatinib.

Many patients who present with NSCLC are active smokers. Patients who are smoking up until the time of their surgery experience increased peri-operative complications compared to patients who have not smoked cigarettes immediately prior to surgery. While this trial will not be limited to active smokers, the period of smoking cessation prior to surgery is an attractive window of opportunity during which the potentially active novel anticancer therapy dasatinib can be offered to the patient.

Conditions

  • Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

Interventions

DRUG

Dasatinib

Fresh frozen tumor tissue must be available prior to initiating dasatinib. Eligible patients will receive neoadjuvant dasatinib 70 mg PO twice daily for 3 weeks followed by surgery. The surgical specimen will be evaluated for pathologic response. The second tumor sample will be obtained after 3 weeks of dasatinib therapy at the time of definitive surgical resection which will be evaluated for changes in genomic expression profiles. Patients with at least a 15% decrease or better objective response, without evidence of progression (per tumor evaluation pre-surgery) or pathologic response (as defined as ≥30% tumor necrosis or cell death) to neoadjuvant dasatinib therapy will be eligible to receive dasatinib 70 mg twice daily for 90 days after the completion of standard adjuvant therapy.
