Organoid-based Sensitivity-guided Chemotherapy for Advanced / Refractory Pediatric Tumors

April 13, 2026 updated by: Dapeng Jiang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

A Clinical Study on Organoid-Based Drug Sensitivity-Guided Chemotherapy for High-Risk, Relapsed, and Refractory Pediatric Soft Tissue Malignant Tumors

This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, single-center study designed to evaluate the feasibility of using patient-derived organoid drug sensitivity analysis to guide chemotherapy for pediatric patients with refractory and relapsed malignant soft tissue tumors. The primary endpoint of the study is objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoint is event-free survival (EFS).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, single-center study with a planned total enrollment of 30 pediatric patients with refractory and relapsed malignant soft tissue tumors. Patients will be enrolled in this clinical trial after providing informed consent and meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. As this is a single-arm study without a control group, all patients will be assigned to the experimental arm. Treatment regimens will be comprehensively evaluated and adjusted based on the results of patient-derived organoid drug sensitivity testing in combination with clinical response. Clinical efficacy will be assessed during follow-up to evaluate the feasibility of using organoid drug sensitivity analysis to guide chemotherapy for refractory and relapsed malignant soft tissue tumors in children.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
objective response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: from the first drug administration up to two years
ORR is the proportion of patients with best response of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 and iRECIST.
from the first drug administration up to two years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Time Frame: from the first drug administration up to two years
Time from study enrollment until the first occurrence of any of the following events: disease progression precluding surgical treatment, local or distant recurrence, death from any cause, etc.
from the first drug administration up to two years
