DAREON ® -Lung-1: A Study in People With Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer to Compare Obrixtamig Plus Atezolizumab, Carboplatin, and Etoposide Treatment With Standard Chemotherapy

This study is open to adults with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The purpose of this study is to find out if a study medicine called obrixtamig plus standard treatment (atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide) improves survival when compared to standard treatment alone. Obrixtamig is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Another purpose of the study is to test a medical device being developed to measure levels of the tumour marker DLL3. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group receives obrixtamig and standard treatment. The other group receives standard treatment without obrixtamig. All treatments are given as infusions into a vein. Participants are in the study for up to 3 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. Participants in the group receiving obrixtamig stay overnight at the study site following the first 2 obrixtamig treatments. At the visits, doctors check the size of the tumour(s). The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Based on the results, the study will explore the correlation between the expression of FBXW2/MYC and the efficacy of teniposide.

A Study of Ivonescimab in First-Line ES-SCLC

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if different combinations of a drug called Ivonescimab, along with chemotherapy and other investigational drugs, are safe and effective for the initial treatment of adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The main questions the study aims to answer are: * What side effects do participants experience from these combination treatments? * How well do the treatments work to shrink tumors? Researchers will compare three groups to see which combination works best. All participants will receive Ivonescimab and chemotherapy (etoposide and carboplatin). The differences are: * Group 1 will also receive an additional drug called AK117. * Group 2 will also receive a different additional drug called Cadonilimab. * Group 3 will receive Ivonescimab and chemotherapy only. Participants will: * Be assigned by chance to one of the three groups. * Undergo an initial treatment phase (about 3 months), receiving chemotherapy plus the specific study drugs for their group. * If the treatment is effective and side effects are manageable, continue with a maintenance phase using only the study drugs (without chemotherapy) for up to 2 years. * Attend regular clinic visits for check-ups, blood tests, and imaging scans (like CT scans) to see how they are responding to the treatment.

Tislelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy and Relayed Radiotherapy in First-line Treatment of ES-SCLC

To explore the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy and relayed radiotherapy in the first-line treatment of extensive small cell lung cancer

Organoid-guided vs Topotecan Therapy in Relapsed Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

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.

Small Extracellular Vesicle miRNAs as Predictive Biomarkers for Immunochemotherapy Efficacy in Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study aims to investigate the clinical value of small extracellular vesicle (sEV) miRNAs as predictive biomarkers for immunochemotherapy efficacy in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). ES-SCLC represents a highly aggressive neuroendocrine malignancy, where the current standard first-line treatment combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy lacks predictive biomarkers for individualized therapeutic strategies. A prospective observational cohort will be established at Shanghai Chest Hospital, enrolling treatment-naïve ES-SCLC patients. Distinct miRNA signatures differentiating responders from non-responders will be identified through pretreatment serum sEV miRNA sequencing and differential expression analysis. These findings may provide novel liquid biopsy biomarkers to guide personalized treatment strategies and optimize clinical decision-making in ES-SCLC management.

Sintilimab Combined With Tafolecimab and Chemotherapy as First-Line Treatment for Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a single arm, multi-center clinical trial. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and biomarkers of Tafolecimab combined with Sintilimab and Chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Tafolecimab is a recombinant fully humanized monoclonal antibody against proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9), which can reduce low-density lipoprotein-C levels and increase the expression level of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) on tumor cells. Sintilimab is a fully humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1).

Nano-crystalline Megestrol Acetate Combined With Standard Treatment Versus Standard Treatment for First-line Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer in the Cachexia Phase

This study is a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical trial, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nano-crystalline megestrol acetate combined with standard treatment compared to standard treatment alone as first-line therapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in both the pre-cachexia and cachexia phases. Participants enrolled in the study are those with ES-SCLC in the pre-cachexia or cachexia phase who have not received systemic treatment and are not eligible for curative therapy.

Nanocrystalline Megestrol Acetate for the Treatment of Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm Phase II Clinical Study

Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer are a high-risk group for cancer cachexia and anorexia. Meanwhile, the adverse reactions of chemotherapy and immunotherapy potentially exacerbate the occurrence and development of cancer cachexia and anorexia. Cancer cachexia and anorexia also severely affect the quality of life of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, significantly shortening their overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), thus forming a vicious cycle. Numerous previous studies have shown that for patients with advanced tumors, the combination of supportive treatments such as megestrol acetate during chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a treatment mode with clinical significance and practical feasibility in clinical practice. However, the efficacy and the optimal treatment timing of its combination with the current first-line immunochemotherapy regimen remain unclear. Although mechanistic studies have shown that anti-cachexia treatment may synergistically enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy, there is a lack of relevant clinical research evidence.

Real-world First-line Serplulimab-based Immunochemotherapy for Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

The phase III ASTRUM-005 study (NCT04063163) has demonstrated promising antitumor efficacy and well tolerability of first-line serplulimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, due to the strict eligibility criteria of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), real-world data on patients with more complex and varied conditions are currently lacking. This highlights the urgent need for real-world evidence to better understand the practical effectiveness and safety of treatments. ASTRUM-005R is a multicenter real-world study conducted in China, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the first-line treatment serplulimab-based immunochemotherapy for ES-SCLC in real-world clinical practice. Additionally, it aims to compare its findings with the data of the randomized controlled phase III ASTRUM-005 trial (descriptive), providing insights into optimal treatment strategies for this patient population.
