Brief Title: Patient-derived Organoids of Lung Cancer to Test Drug Response
Official Title: Patient-derived Organoids of Lung Cancer to Test Drug Response
Study ID: NCT03979170
Brief Summary: 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.
Detailed Description: The aim of the project is to use a combination of patient-derived organoid models: * To amplify tumour tissue to obtain enough material for genomic and histological analysis * to characterize the lung cancer sub-type * To predict treatment (non)response. The following points will be addressed: 1. First, the investigators plan to establish and characterize formation of organoids from biopsies of patients with lung cancer: in spheroids, in the 3D cellular model OncoCilAirTM (OncoTheis), and on the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). Patient-derived organoids from tumoural tissue (PDO) will be characterized and compared to the original tumour. 2. Second, the investigators will test the chemoresponse (chemosensitivity and chemoresistance) of organoids to anti-cancer treatment.
