Application of ctDNA in the Evaluation of Curative Effect and Prognosis of SCLC Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application value of circulating tumor DNA(ctDNA) with efficacy evaluation and prognostic assessment in patients with unresectable SCLC, who were receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.

About this study

  • According to each point in time of ctDNA, to analyze the dynamic changes of tumor burden and clonal subtypes which to evaluate the application value of ctDNA in curative efficacy evaluation.
  • Compare the two time points before and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment of the cell free DNA (cfDNA) concentration and tumor burden, analysis the correlation between the changes and prognosis.

observe the association of ctDNA with efficacy of treatment

Primary outcomes

  1. ctDNA mutation profile at baseline

    Time frame: before treatment ctDNA mutation analysis and clonal analysis (each cycle is 3 weeks)

    ctDNA mutation will be detected, PyClone based clonal analysis will be performed to analyze the clonal dominance

  2. the evolution of ctDNA mutation profile during treatment

    Time frame: After the first cycle of first line treatment upon physicians' request, ctDNA mutation analysis and clonal analysis (each cycle is 3 weeks)

    ctDNA mutation will be detected, PyClone based clonal analysis will be performed to analyze the clonal dominance

  3. the evolution of ctDNA mutation profile during treatment

    Time frame: After finished the first line treatment, ctDNA mutation analysis and clonal analysis (each cycle is 3 weeks)

    ctDNA mutation will be detected, PyClone based clonal analysis will be performed to analyze the clonal dominance

Secondary outcomes

  1. PFS

    Time frame: From the first line treatment to the time of disease progression (through study completion, an average of 5 months)

    Progression free of survival
