About this trial
To test whether it is feasible to perform the 3D-EX functional predictive response bioassay in the context of patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors in the standard of care clinical setting.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Feasibility of establishing 3D ex-vivo tumoroid model
Twenty-five patients will be enrolled. The bioassay will be considered to be feasible if the 3D Ex-Vivo assay results are obtained on at least 20 patients.
Secondary outcomes
Correlation of response in ex vivo tumoroids with clinical objective response
To test whether the 3D-EX functional response bioassay can predict tumor response (using RECIST v1.1) in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC, receiving treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors, in a standard clinical setting.
