Mapping lung cancer genes to unlock future treatments
NCT ID NCT02688894
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study analyzes tumor tissue from 797 people with relapsed small cell lung cancer to identify genetic subtypes. No drugs are tested here. Instead, the results may help match patients to future targeted therapy trials. Participants must have had prior platinum-based chemotherapy and provide tissue samples.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this screening could identify which genetic subtypes of small cell lung cancer exist, paving the way for more personalized treatment trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is only a screening study, not a treatment. It does not test any drug, so there is no direct benefit to participants. Results may not lead to effective therapies.
