  • Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
  • Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

About this study

Official title: Pembrolizumab for Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients Expressing PD-L1 Who Have Their Own Patient-derived Xenograft (PDX): Comparative Study of Clinical Response and In-vivo Antitumor Response Using Their Humanized CD34 PDX (Hu-CD34 PDX)

This is a single center, open-label, single arm study in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing PD-L1 after failure of platinum-based combination chemotherapy.

Patients will be treated with Pembrolizumab according to the dosage and administration in Product Information of Keytruda in Korea (2mg/kg) until it is changed to 200mg flat dose.

The patient should have their-own patient-derived xenograft (PDX) before enrollment of the study. The PDX will be used to set up their humanized CD34 PDX (Hu-CD34 PDX).

Read the detailed description

Part A: Clinical trial (single arm study) in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing PD-L1 after failure of platinum-based combination chemotherapy.

Part B: PDX experiment using Hu-CD34 PDX model in specific population selected from Part A (Clinical trial part) - responder and non-responder.

In-vivo experiment using Hu-CD34 PDX will be done for about seven subjects, and thirty-two (32) Hu-CD34 PDX mice will be established from single patient to see in-vivo response. This research using PDX (Part B) will be conducted sequentially on clinical trial part in selected-population based on clinical response of Pembrolizumab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pembrolizumab Injection in people with Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of clinical response and in-vivo anti-tumor response using Hu-CD34 PDX (time frame: every 6 weeks, up to 96weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2024.
