About this study

Official title: A Phase IIIb, Single-arm, Multi-center, International Study of Durvalumab in Combination With Platinum and Etoposide for the First Line Treatment of Patients With Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (LUMINANCE)

Study to determine the safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab with platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) plus etoposide (EP) as first-line treatment in participants with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted in North America, Europe and Turkey.

In this single arm study participants will be treated with with durvalumab alone and concurrently with platinum-based chemotherapy and etoposide during the study period until radiological disease progression, unless there is clinical progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion is met, as per investigator assessment.

Receives: Drug: Durvalumab; Drug: Cisplatin; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Etoposide

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (AEs)

    Incidence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events to evaluate safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab + Platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) plus etoposide (EP) treatment was assessed.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until 90 days after treatment discontinuation, up to 2.5 years.

  2. Number of Participants With Incidence of Immune Mediated Adverse Events (imAEs)

    Immune mediated adverse events (imAEs) were assessed to evaluate safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab + EP treatment. An imAE is defined as an AESI that is associated with drug exposure and is consistent with an immune-mediated mechanism of action (MOA) and where there is no clear alternate etiology.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until 90 days after treatment discontinuation, up to 2.5 years.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating PFS according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) was assessed. The PFS is the time from the first date of treatment until the date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdrew from Investigational medicinal product (IMP) or received another anticancer therapy prior to progression.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until disease progression or death, up to 2.5 years.

  2. Percentage of Participants Alive and Progression-free at 12 Months From First Date of Treatment (PFS12)

    The efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating PFS12 according to RECIST 1.1 was assessed.

    Measured: From first date of study treatment until 12 months.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating ORR according to RECIST 1.1 was assessed. The ORR will be assessed based on Investigator-assessed response to treatment of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), per RECIST1.1.

    Measured: From screening until disease progression or the last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 2.5 years.

  4. Duration of Response (DoR)

    The efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating DoR according to RECIST 1.1 was assessed. The DoR is time from the date of first documented response per RECIST1.1 until the first date of documented progression per RECIST1.1 or death in the absence of disease progression.

    Measured: From the date of first documented response until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression, up to 2.5 years.

  5. Percentage of Participants Remaining in Response, 12 Months After First Documented Objective Response (DoR12)

    The efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating DoR12 according to RECIST 1.1 was assessed.

    Measured: From the date of first documented response until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression, up to 2.5 years.

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    Assessment of the efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating OS. The OS is the time from the first date of treatment until death due to any cause.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment to death, up to 2.5 years.

  7. Percentage of Participants Alive at 12 Months From First Date of Treatment (OS12)

    The efficacy of durvalumab + EP treatment by evaluating OS12 was assessed.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment till 12 months.

  8. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    To evaluate safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab + EP treatment, adverse events and serious adverse events were assessed.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until 90 days after discontinuation, up to 2.5 years.

  9. Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interests

    To evaluate safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab + EP treatment, adverse events of special interests were assessed. An AESI is an AE of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of the IMP. AESIs for durvalumab include, but are not limited to, events with a potential inflammatory or immune-mediated mechanism and which may require more frequent monitoring and/or interventions such as steroids, immunosuppressants, and/or hormone replacement therapy.

    This includes adverse events of special/ possible interest.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until 90 days after discontinuation, up to 2.5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Durvalumab, Cisplatin and Carboplatin in people with Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 35 sites in 6 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 21 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 23 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in Turkey (Türkiye), Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Czechia and 1 more country. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Aug 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Incidence of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From first dose of study treatment until 90 days after treatment discontinuation, up to 2.5 years.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 May 2025.
