A Pilot, Non-Randomized Phase II Protocol of Irinotecan for Patients With Previously Treated, Advanced, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With High ISG 15 Expression

Certain genetic factors can affect a patient's potential sensitivity to therapeutic drugs and
other agents. There is a factor called ISG15 which might help doctors better identify
patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors may be more sensitive
to the drug called Irinotecan. This factor is elevated in roughly 30% of NSCLC cases.
Irinotecan is an agent that inhibits the enzyme called topoisomerase I that is involved in
cell growth, and it has been FDA approved for 17 years for another type of cancer.

The goal of this trial is to demonstrate the potential clinical benefit of targeted
irinotecan chemotherapy in NSCLC patients whose tumors display a specific phenotype that is
associated with increased sensitivity to this drug, ISG15H.
