Innovative immune assays for small cell lung cancer

Official title: Panomic Approach to Immune-Connected Assays in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · NCT05797493 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing new ways to understand how the immune system responds in people with small cell lung cancer to see if it can help predict their treatment outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with extensive-stage SCLC who have received specific upfront treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with brain metastases at diagnosis will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This project utilizes a pan-omic approach to assess immune responses in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It involves comprehensive tumor characterization through genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic analyses, alongside profiling of blood immune cells and cytokines. The aim is to validate the predictive role of SCLC transcriptomic classifications and explore correlations with changes in peripheral blood immunity and metabolic-induced inflammation. The study will focus on a real-world population to enhance understanding of immune responses in SCLC.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved predictive models for treatment responses in small cell lung cancer patients.

How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific pan-omic methodology in SCLC is relatively novel.
