Small Cell Lung Cancer Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Lung cancer mainly begins in the lungs, and it may spread to lymph nodes or other organs in the body, such as the brain. However, cancer from other organs may also spread to the lungs. When cancer cells spread from one organ to another, they are called metastases. There are mainly two types of lung cancer small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, the more common). The treatment method is different for both types.
SCLC spreads (metastasizes) much faster than NSCLC to other organs, whereas microscopically, small cell lung cancer is composed of much smaller cells. SCLC can be fatal in a few weeks if untreated, in contrast to most cases of NSCLC. Also, NSCLC accounts for about 80–85% of lung cancers.
small cell lung cancer is an aggressive disease with distinct pathological, clinical, and molecular characteristics along with having a high metastatic potential that results in clinically poor prognosis, which is not the case for NSCLC. SCLC is also known as ‘oat-cell’ cancer because the cells look like oats under the microscope. It often starts in the bronchi, then quickly grows and spread to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes. This type of lung cancer represents about 15% of lung cancers and is typically caused by tobacco smoking. SCLC tends to spread quite early and it can also be classed as neuroendocrine tumors.
Diagnosis 
The diagnosis of cancer mainly starts with a different set of tests that can be performed to examine cancer or for its better and effective treatment. They may start off by examining the extent of cancer metastasis, which can be done by analyzing what other parts of the body are affected apart from the point of initiation. For example, imaging tests—that displays the internal picture of the body—can indicate if cancer has spread, but they can never be used alone to diagnose small cell lung cancer.
A biopsy is recommended as it the only way for the doctor to confirm the presence of cancer; however, there are other methods also, if biopsy cannot be performed.
The doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
  • Size, location, and type of cancer suspected
  • Signs and symptoms
  • Age and general health
  • The results of earlier medical tests

Marketed Drugs 
Opdivo (Nivolumab): Bristol-Myers Squibb
Opdivo (Nivolumab) by Bristol-Myers Squibb is a human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1, PCD-1) with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. It is a prescription medicine used to treat people with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer, advanced renal cell carcinoma, classical hodgkin lymphoma, recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is not known if Opdivo is safe and effective in children younger than 18 years of age. This drug is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response for patients with metastatic small cell lung cancer with progression after platinum-based chemotherapy and at least one other line of therapy. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
Keytruda (Pembrolizumab): Merck
Keytruda, also known as pembrolizumab, is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody. It is mainly used for cancers that are advanced, have spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or are not responding to other treatments. In some cancers, it is only given to patients whose tumors produce high levels of a protein known as PD-L1. This drug is also used to help prevent the cancer from coming back after patients had surgery to remove melanoma (adjuvant therapy).
Small Cell Lung Cancer Emerging Drugs 
Imfinzi +/- tremelimumab: AstraZeneca
Imfinzi (Durvalumab) also known as medi4736 with or without tremelimumab, is under development by AstraZeneca. It is administered intravenously after completing a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy (CRT) given at the same time, also known as concurrent CRT. Imfinzi may also attack healthy cells. It binds to a protein called PD-L1, which is found on some cancer cells and may block this protein and help the immune system kill cancer cells. It is a type of monoclonal antibody and a type of immune checkpoint inhibitor.
Lurbinectedin (PM01183): PharmaMar
Lurbinectedin (Zepsyre, PM1183) by PharmaMar, is a compound in clinical research that belongs to the RNA polymerase II enzyme inhibitors family, which is essential for the transcription process. By inhibiting transcription, the compound reduces the expression of certain factors that are involved in tumor progression and blocks the DNA repair system called NER. This eventually induces the death of tumor cells. The antitumor efficacy of PM1183 (lurbinectedin) is being investigated in several types of tumors. Currently it is in phase III clinical developmental trial for small cell lung cancer.
RRx-001: EpicentRx
EpicentRx is developing its lead program RRx-001, which is among a portfolio of immunotherapeutic compounds that normalize the tumor microenvironment, activate the tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) of the innate immune system, and sensitize solid tumors to standard therapies in small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, colorectal cancer and additional cancers. It is a next generation, small molecule anticancer immunotherapeutic that down regulates the CD47/SIRPĪ± axis and repolarizes TAMs and other immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment to an immunostimulatory phenotype. RRx-001 is designed to be used either as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or immunotherapy. It has been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the US FDA and EMA for the treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer.
