Molecular screening for relapsed small cell lung cancer patients
Official title: The Molecular Screening Study for the Umbrella Trial (SUKSES) in Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients [SUKSES-S]
Run by Samsung Medical Center · NCT02688894 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a way to analyze the DNA from tissue and blood samples of patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer to see if it can help identify who might benefit from new treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients aged 20 and older with histologically or cytologically confirmed small cell lung cancer who have undergone platinum-based chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with more than two prior chemotherapy regimens for small cell lung cancer or those with second primary cancers may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This protocol focuses on molecular screening for patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer, utilizing DNA extracted from archived or fresh tissue and blood samples. The study employs next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Nanostring CNV testing, along with immunohistochemistry and FISH analysis, to profile the molecular characteristics of tumors. The molecular profiling can occur before, during, or after initial treatment, and aims to identify patients who may qualify for subsequent drug intervention studies based on their molecular profiles.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify targeted treatment options for patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing molecular profiling in cancer treatment have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this approach.
