WAYFIND-R is a registry that aims to capture high-quality real-world data linking next-generation sequencing, treatments and outcomes from cancer patients diagnosed with a solid tumour. The WAYFIND-R has three main overarching objectives: 1. To provide a platform to support the design and conduct of clinical and epidemiological research; 2. To develop an evidence-generation platform to better understand health outcomes and cancer care processes; and 3. To characterize the treatments and clinical course of solid tumor cancers in patients who have undergone NGS testing.

This is a phase II-III randomized, open-labelled, multicentre study for NSCLC patients who are naive of treatment for advanced disease. Patients will be given first-line chemotherapy + pembrolizumab: platinum doublet for at least 3 cycles, either paclitaxel-carboplatin for patient with SCC or 3 cycles of pemetrexed-platinum salt followed by 2 cycles of pemetrexed and 6 cycles of pembrolizumab. Only patients with disease control, confirmed at 6 months (27-weeks) without drug-related toxicity imposing treatment discontinuation will be randomized 1:1 either to continuation of pembrolizumab (± pemetrexed for non-SCC) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or 2 years, or observation (± pemetrexed for non-SCC). Patients will be stratified by performance status (0 versus 1), histology (SCC versus non-SCC), PD-L1 (PD-L1 \< 1% versus 49%≥PD-L1 ≥ 1% versus PD-L1\>49%), sex and response at randomization (partial response versus stabilisation).

For cancer patients, virtual reality proved more effective than other forms of distraction in relieving anxiety, depression and fatigue during chemotherapy. Although pain and anxiety in cancer patients are managed proactively, this study was designed to measure the quality of life of these patients, assess patient and carer satisfaction, evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality in reducing anxiety during the first three sessions of chemotherapy, and assess the impact of virtual reality on preventive and acute chemotherapy-induced fatigue, nausea and vomiting. This is a clinical study with a therapeutic aim using a non-medicinal, interventional, prospective, multi-centre, controlled and randomised technique, with two parallel groups. It is clinical research involving the human person category 2, involving only minimal risks and constraints. The two arms are Arm A: study questionnaires with virtual reality (VR) Arm B: study questionnaires without virtual reality, standard care (SC) A visit will be made during the 3 cycles of chemotherapy during which arm A will be immersed in Virtual Reality with the Healthy Mind VR programme. programme, and patients in arm B will receive standard care without hypnotic support. There will also be a pre-inclusion visit 7 days before the first cycle. and visits at 3, 6 and 9 months after the 3 cycles of chemotherapy.
