About this trial

This is a single center, single arm, open and exploratory clinical study, with 50 cases planned for a period of 3 years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consistency and accuracy of a Patient-Derived Organoid (PDO) Model of lung cancer to predict the clinical efficacy of anti-cancer drugs, in order to predict the best chemotherapy regimen for each given patient.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically proven lung cancer

Age ≥ 18

Written informed and signed consent

Accessible to biopsy and/or surgery sample of metastasis and/or primitive tumour

Disqualifiers

Less than 18 years of age

Not able to give informed consent (language, intellectual capacities, etc.)

Not accessible to biopsy and/or surgery sample

Not enough lung tissue for a histological analysis or the remaining lung tissue is not enough to perform a routine pathological analysis.

Trial population

All patients (estimated 50 patients) with histologically proven lung cancer undergoing surgery related to this cancer at the University Hospitals of Geneva.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Patient-derived organoid establishment

Successful generation of lung cancer organoids (growth of lung tumoral cells). The rate of successful generation of lung cancer organoids could vary with the age of the patient, the histological and molecular subtype of lung cancer

Time frame
3 years
2

Patient-derived organoid validation

Proportion of patient-derived organoids that are histologically and genetically identical to the source tumour

Time frame
5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Drug sensitivity

Drug sensitivity of patient-derived tumour organoids (drug screening and chemotherapy resistance test) Secondary drug effects on patient-derived normal lung organoids

Time frame
2019 - 2023
2

Prediction of the response to treatment by the patient-derived organoids

The drug sensitivity was tested on patient-derived tumour organoids, which is compared with clinical response of the chemo- or targeted therapy treatment.

Time frame
2020 - 2025
