Organoid-guided vs Topotecan Therapy in Relapsed Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
- Conditions
- Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)Small Cell Lung Cancer ( SCLC )
- Interventions
- Drug: Organoid Drug Sensitivity Testing-Guided Therapy
- Registration Number
- NCT07106528
- Lead Sponsor
- Peking Union Medical College Hospital
- Brief Summary
This study aims to provide personalized treatment options for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) whose disease has worsened after initial chemotherapy.
Researchers will use a novel approach called "tumor organoid drug sensitivity testing":
A small sample of the patient's tumor (from biopsy or fluid) is grown into miniature 3D tumor models ("organoids") in the lab.
These organoids are exposed to various FDA-approved second-line drugs (including chemotherapy and newer targeted/immunotherapy drugs if available).
The most effective drug for each patient's organoids will be recommended for their treatment.
128 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:Experimental Group: Receive organoid-guided personalized therapy; Control Group: Receive standard second-line chemotherapy (Topotecan).
The study will compare: How long the cancer remains controlled (Progression-Free Survival); Overall survival time; Treatment response rates and side effects.
Potential benefits: May identify more effective treatments for individual patients; Could extend time without cancer progression.
Risks: Organoid testing requires an additional tumor biopsy/fluid collection; Possible side effects from second-line drugs.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression-Free Survival (PFS) From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression (RECIST v1.1) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 100 months. From the date of randomization to the date of first recording of disease progression ( RECIST v1.1 ) or all-cause death, whichever occurred first.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival (OS) From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months. From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause
Objective Response Rate (ORR) From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria at 6- to 8-week intervals up to 100 months. From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria at 6- to 8-week
Duration of Response (DOR) From date of first documented objective response (CR or PR per RECIST v1.1) until the date of first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 100 months. From date of first documented objective response (CR or PR per RECIST v1.1) until the date of first documented progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
Grade ≥3 Adverse Events From date of first treatment administration until 3 months after last dose, assessed by CTCAE v5.0 criteria. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events ≥ grade 3 ( CTCAE v5.0 ).
