Lung-MAP: Biomarker-Targeted Second-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Stage IV Squamous Cell Lung Cancer

Inclusion Criteria

• SCREENING/PRE-SCREENING REGISTRATION:
• Patients must have pathologically proven squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) cancer of the lung confirmed by tumor biopsy and/or fine-needle aspiration; disease must be stage IV SCCA, or recurrent; the primary diagnosis of SCCA should be established using the current World Health Organization (WHO)/International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC)-classification of Thoracic Malignancies; the diagnosis is based on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained slides with or without specific defined immunohistochemistry (IHC) characteristic (p40/p63 positive, transcription termination factor [TTF1] negative) if required for diagnosis; mixed histologies are not allowed
• Patients must either be eligible to be screened at progression on prior treatment or to be pre-screened prior to progression on current treatment; patients will either consent to the screening consent or the pre-screening consent, not both; these criteria are:
• Screening at progression on prior treatment: to be eligible for screening at progression, patients must have received at least one line of systemic therapy for any stage of disease (stages I-IV) and must have progressed during or following their most recent line of therapy; for patients whose prior systemic therapy was for stage I-III disease only (i.e. patient has not received any treatment for stage IV or recurrent disease), the prior systemic therapy must have been a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and disease progression on the platinum-based chemotherapy must have occurred within one year from the last date that patient received that therapy; for patients whose prior therapy was for stage IV or recurrent disease, the patient must have received at least one line of a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen or checkpoint inhibitor therapy (e.g. nivolumab or pembrolizumab)
• Pre-screening prior to progression on current treatment: to be eligible for pre-screening, current treatment must be for stage IV or recurrent disease and patient must have received at least one dose of the current regimen; patients must have previously received or currently be receiving a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen or checkpoint inhibitor therapy (e.g. nivolumab or pembrolizumab); patients on first-line platinum-based treatment are eligible upon receiving cycle 1, day 1 infusion; Note: patients will not receive their sub-study assignment until they progress and the S1400 Notice of Progression is submitted
• Patients must have adequate tumor tissue available, defined as >= 20% tumor cells and >= 0.2 mm^3 tumor volume
• The local interpreting pathologist must review the specimen
• The pathologist must sign the S1400 Local Pathology Review Form confirming tissue adequacy prior to screening/pre-screening registration
• Patients must agree to have this tissue submitted to Foundation Medicine for common broad platform Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) biomarker profiling; if archival tumor material is exhausted, then a new fresh tumor biopsy that is formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) must be obtained; a tumor block or FFPE slides 4-5 microns thick must be submitted; bone biopsies are not allowed; if FFPE slides are to be submitted, at least 12 unstained slides plus an H&E stained slide, or 13 unstained slides must be submitted; however it is strongly recommended that 20 FFPE slides be submitted; Note: previous next-generation deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing (NGS) will be repeated if done outside this study for sub-study assignment; patients must agree to have any tissue that remains after NGS testing retained for the use of the translational medicine (TM) studies (if such TM studies are defined) within any sub-study the patient is enrolled in
• Patients must not have a known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion; EGFR/ALK testing is not required prior to registration and is included in the
