About this study

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy (PD-L1 inhibitor) maintenance following high-dose hyperfractionated simultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy concurrent chemotherapy in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). This study is a prospective observational study. Additionally, liquid biopsy technology will be employed to identify biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of PD-L1 inhibitor after chemoradiotherapy in LS-SCLC.

Being tested
Etoposide + cisplatin/carboplatin, Thoracic radiotherapy, Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), PD-L1 inhibitor
Keywords
LS-SCLC, immunotherapy, liquid biopsy, high-dose radiotherapy
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Etoposide + cisplatin/carboplatinDrug

    Four courses of intravenous cisplatin (75 mg/m² of body surface area on day 1 or divided into 3 days of each cycle) or carboplatin (area under the curve of 5 mg/mL per min on day 1 of each cycle) and intravenous etoposide (100 mg/m² of body surface area on days 1-3) every 3 weeks

  • Thoracic radiotherapyRadiation

    High-dose, accelerated, hyperfractionated, twice-daily thoracic radiotherapy (54 Gy in 30 fractions) concurrent with chemotherapy initiated at the beginning of cycles 1-3

  • Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI)Radiation

    PCI (25Gy in 10 fractions, once daily over two weeks) 3-4 weeks post-chemoradiotherapy for patients achieving PR or CR

  • PD-L1 inhibitorDrug

    Maintenance therapy with PD-L1 inhibitors (Durvalumab 1500 mg Q4W or Atezolizumab 1200 mg Q3W or Sugemalimab 1200 mg Q3W or Adebrelimab 1200 mg Q3W) post-PCI until disease progression, death, or intolerable toxicity, up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Limited-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (LS-SCLC), run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute at 1 site in China.

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 20 inclusion and 22 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2025. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Anhui Shi (8601088196087, anhuidoctor@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (time frame: From enrollment to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 years.). 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 11 Mar 2025.
