What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are collecting blood and tumor tissue samples from 30 adults with relapsed small-cell lung cancer who are receiving a standard DLL3 T cell engager therapy. The goal is to track changes in tumor markers over time and see if those changes relate to how well the treatment works. This observational study does not assign any treatment; it simply gathers samples during routine care to better understand the disease and potentially predict outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Biospecimen collection (blood and tumor tissue samples)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients with relapsed small-cell lung cancer will respond to DLL3 T cell engager therapy, guiding more personalized treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so it may not capture all the variability in patient responses. Also, collecting repeated biopsies is invasive and may not be feasible for all participants, which could limit the study's findings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18 years of age or older 2. Confirmed pathologic diagnosis of active SCLC or neuroendocrine cancer. 3. Relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) planning to receive commercial DLL3 bispecific T cell engager. 4. Willing to provide informed consent. 5. 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 6. Patients with multiple primary malignancies, recurrent lung cancer, or mixed histology are not excluded. 7. 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: 1. Prisoners or incarcerated patients 2. Those with cognitive impairments lacking decision-making capacity are excluded. 3. 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.
