This phase I trial aims to determine if it is safe to use palliative radiotherapy and lurbinectedin at the same time to treat small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the chest and that has grown after being treated with chemotherapy (extensive stage). Lurbinectedin kills tumor cells by blocks a process called transcription that small cell lung cancer relies on to survive. It also damages the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of tumor cells, which is similar to the way radiation kills tumor cells. Palliative radiotherapy is a routine medical treatment for patients who have lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), and is used to relieve symptoms caused by cancer or to patients from developing symptoms. This trial may help doctors understand if treating patients with lurbinectedin and palliative radiotherapy at the same time would make them both work better than either one alone or if they could cause more side effects for patients when given together.

The primary treatment option for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma (ADC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). After a certain period of treatment with EGFR TKI, acquired resistance emerges most frequently with a secondary mutation, p.T790M (36-50%), followed by MET amplification (10-19%). Interestingly, up to 3-5% of patients experience histological transformation into small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
As an underlying mechanism, ADC with a predisposed clonally inactivated Rb and p53 mutation and APOBEC mutation signature is known to be associated with SCLC transformation. The transformed SCLC harbors similar morphological and immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics as those observed in de novo SCLC, including high expression of chromogranin and synaptophysin. However, little is known about the clinical outcomes of transformed SCLC, with limited studies arguing that their outcomes are similar to those of de novo SCLC, where the median overall survival is approximately 9 to 10 months after the transformation.
As the first line treatment of SCLC, atezolizumab or durvalumab with four cycles of conventional chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy demonstrated prolonged overall survival (OS) and placed as the standard treatment option. However, median progression-free survival (PFS) of both study was only 5.2 months and 5.1 months, despite the objective response rate showing 60.2% and 79%. This finding suggest further development of maintenance treatment strategy to prolonged longer duration of response to the treatment.
In addition to the conventional treatment, Tarlatamab (AMG757), bispecific t-cell engager (BiTE), designed to engage DLL3 on SCLC and CD3 on T-cell has been tested in SCLC. DLL3 is expressed in more than 80% of patients with SCLC, regardless of disease stage and researched for the potential target protein for the antibody based treatment in SCLC. By targeting DLL3 using Tarlatamab, engagement of tumor antigen and CD3 lead to cytotoxic synapse formation, triggering the release of proinflammatory cytokines, perforin, and granzymes from activated T-cells, potentially resulting apoptosis. The first clinical outcome of Tarlatamab was reported from the DeLLphi-300 study, phase 1 dose exploration study, showing confirmed partial response in 23% of the heavily treated SCLC and 37% of the patients showed decrease in tumor burden. Median duration of response was 13.0 months (95% confidential interval CI: 6.2 - 14.9 months), median PFS of 3.7 months and median OS was 13.2 months. In the treatment naïve SCLC, DeLLphi-303 study, phase 1b study combining tarlatamab + PD-L1 inhibitor + carboplatin and etoposide, is ongoing to evaluate the clinical efficacy in the front line setting which include only histologically confirmed extensive disease SCLC population (NCT05361395).
Based on previous clinical and pre-clinical outcomes, showing similar disease characteristics between transformed SCLC from the adenocarcinoma who treated with EGFR TKI with de novo SCLC, this study is designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tarlatamab with currently standard treatment in transformed SCLC.

As a core component of comprehensive breast cancer treatment, chemotherapy frequently induces chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), particularly with taxane-based agents. The incidence of CIPN reaches 68.1% within the first month of chemotherapy, and over 30% of patients experience persistent symptoms for more than 6 months. The resulting sensorimotor dysfunction significantly impairs patients' quality of life, necessitates dose reduction or treatment discontinuation, and ultimately affects survival outcomes. Currently, no prophylactic pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions have received Grade I recommendations in domestic or international guidelines and expert consensuses. The compression therapy demonstrated definite preventive value in the POLAR trial. Its low cost and high tolerability confer substantial clinical applicability, earning it a Grade III recommendation in ESMO guidelines. Meanwhile, single-arm trials of acupuncture have reported a 51.2% symptom relief rate and a trend toward reduced high-grade CIPN. As non-pharmacological interventions, acupuncture and compression therapy hold complementary potential in preventing taxane-induced CIPN: compression therapy locally blocks drug exposure, while acupuncture systemically regulates neural function.However, three core challenges persist in the current research field: insufficient evidence quality for single-intervention strategies, lack of systematic evaluation of combined interventions, and the absence of risk-stratified prevention models. To address these gaps, this study aims to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to concurrently evaluate the preventive efficacy of compression therapy, acupuncture, and their combination for taxane-induced CIPN. The goal is to provide high-level evidence-based medicine to support the development of individualized prevention strategies.

This study is a multicenter, international, open-label phase II study. Based on inclusion/exclusion criteria, eligible pre and postmenopausal patients with newly diagnosed metastatic luminal hormone receptor-positive and HER2 negative breast cancer, will be prospectively treated with a standard combination of hormone therapy (Letrozole or Anastrozole) and Palbociclib. This combination will continue until progression. Treatment response will be evaluated every three months using clinical and radiological assessments (Revised RECIST guidelines).
Patients will undergo serial liquid biopsies (blood tests) for plasma molecular fingerprinting by the Quantum Optics technology. This study will be the first program exploring the adjunction of the Quantum Optics technology on liquid biopsies to define individual 'molecular fingerprinting profiles' to predict the individual therapeutic effects of Palbociclib combined with Aromatase Inhibitors (AI) (plus ovarian function suppression (OFS) for pre/peri-menopausal patients) in luminal hormone receptor-positive and HER2 negative advanced breast cancer. Batteries of algorithmic tests will integrate the variables obtained by Quantum Optics (to evaluate the efficacy or not of the combination of Palbociclib + Aromatase Inhibitors (AI) ). This approach introduces the concept of singularity to break from the classic idea of "one size fits all".
