Prospective Multiomic Analysis in Small-Cell Lung Cancer
What this study is about
This is an observational study to collects blood samples and tumor tissue from adults with relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) receiving the usual treatment commercial DLL3 T cell engager. The goal of the study is to understand the changes in tumor markers over time and examine whether these changes are associated with clinical outcomes.
View original scientific description
This is an observational study to collects blood samples and tumor tissue from adults with relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) receiving standard of care commercial DLL3 T cell engager. The goal of the study is to understand the changes in tumor markers over time and examine whether these changes are associated with clinical outcomes. Participants will provide blood samples and, when clinically feasible, tumor tissue during routine care visits, treatment, and imaging assessments. The study does not assign cancer treatment.
Interventions
PROCEDURE
Biospecimen collection
Undergo blood and tissue sample collection
Primary outcome measures
Feasibility of obtaining paired tumor samples and serial blood collection
Time frame: Up to 3 years
The feasibility rate is defined as the proportion of enrolled patients who obtained paired pre- and post-treatment biopsies with good quality (≥30% cellularity) and were compliant with serial blood samples collection
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

- Confirmed pathologic diagnosis of active SCLC or neuroendocrine cancer.
- Relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) planning to receive commercial DLL3 bispecific T cell engager.
- Willing to provide informed consent.
- Willing to provide blood samples and undergo tissue biopsy at various time points throughout the study, collected in concurrence with treatment cycles and/or imaging visits
- Patients with multiple primary malignancies, recurrent lung cancer, or mixed histology are not excluded.
- Patients who have contraindications or are unable to receive immunotherapy will be eligible for the study, and their samples will be used for comparison and control.
Exclusion criteria
- Prisoners or incarcerated patients
- Those with cognitive impairments lacking decision-making capacity are excluded.
- There will be no specific restrictions with respect to performance status, organ function, or prior/concurrent modes of therapy other than that the patient must be able to tolerate venipuncture and any planned interventional radiology or surgical procedures deemed necessary by their treating physicians.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
