68Ga-PFD3 PET Imaging for the Diagnosis and Evaluation of Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study aims to investigate and evaluate the safety and performance of a novel probe, PFD3, for the diagnosis and assessment of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Durvalumab as Consolidation Therapy in Patients With LS-SCLC Following sCRT

This is a retrospective, multi-centre, single arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of receiving Durvalumab in patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer Limited Stage (LS-SCLC) who have not progressed following sequential chemoradiotherapy (sCRT) in a real-world setting. The study will enroll 25 patients. The primary endpoint of the study is the incidence of Grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) within 6 months of starting Durvalumab (graded by CTCAE v.5.0). The secondary endpoints of the study include real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS, the time from the start of Durvalumab treatment to disease progression or death for any reason, which occurs first), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR) and disease control rate (DCR). sCRT is more common in Mid-Eastern Chinese clinical practice. sCRT is also recommended in guideline of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Small-cell lung cancer. However, patients treated with sCRT were not included in the ADRIATIC study. So there is lack of data on safety and efficacy of Durvalumab post sCRT. Supplement real-world evidence (RWE) clinical data of sCRT in Chinese patients is needed to enhance the status of Durvalumab as a consolidation therapy for LS-SCLC. The study will retrospectively collect cases of eligible LS-SCLC patients who received sCRT and have not progressed followed by receiving Durvalumab as consolidation therapy.

Omitting CTV for Primary Tumor in LS-SCLC

This randomized controlled non-inferior trial prospectively enrolled patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). Patients in the experimental group would receive radiotherapy with omission of the clinical target volume (CTV) for the primary tumor, while those in the control group would receive radiotherapy including CTV. The efficacy and toxicity of the two groups are compared to provide evidence for the radiotherapy of LS-SCLC. The target volume of LS-SCLC may be reduced by omitting CTV without increasing local recurrence but potentially reducing the dose to organs at risk and the side effects.

Lung Cancer Registry

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in Austria with 2.868 men and 2.009 women diagnosed in 2016. Reflecting the high mortality of this disease, 2.415 men and 1.534 women died from lung cancer. Therefore, lung cancer is the most common reason for cancer associated death in men and second most common reason in women. This malignant disease can be divided into two main groups: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is a paradigm for personalized medicine, with an increasing number of targetable gene alterations. Despite this growing diversity of molecular subtypes, in most patients no targetable mutation can be detected. For these patients check-point inhibitors with or without chemotherapy is the mainstay of the initial tumor therapy. Until recently, little progress has been made in the treatment of SCLC in last decades. Recently, an overall survival benefit by the addition of an immune-checkpoint inhibitor to first-line chemotherapy for advanced SCLC has been reported. Despite the progress in the treatment of NSCLC, the performance of predictive biomarkers is weak. Therefore, the development of more precise prediction models is of great importance for the progress of personalized treatment strategies.

Study of Serplulimab Plus Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Limited-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (LS-SCLC)

This investigator-initiated, open-label, prospective Phase II clinical trial, planned to take place across multiple centers in China. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical resection or chemotherapy following serplulimab plus platinum-containing dual induction therapy for stage II-IIIB (N2) LS-SCLC

Durvalumab Combined With Chemoradiotherapy for Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (Camel-01)

This trial aims to assess efficacy and safety of durvalumab combined with chemoradiotherapy for limited stage small cell lung cancer.
