A Study Evaluating Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Dual Immune Checkpoint Blockade for Limited-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
Interventions
Drug: Immuno-chemotherapy
Radiation: Radiotherapy
Drug: Consolidative therapy
Registration Number
NCT07103408
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

This study will enroll patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Patients will receive chemotherapy (etoposide and platinum-based drugs) combined with dual immune checkpoint blockade (PD-1/CTLA-4) and thymosin alpha 1, with a total cycles of 4. Thoracic radiotherapy was performed no later than the three cycle of chemotherapy. Prophylactic cranial irradiation was recommended for patients who received complete response or partial response after chemoradiotherapy. Finally consolidation therapy with dual immune checkpoint blockade (PD-1/CTLA-4) and thymosin alpha 1 was conducted for one year. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational(non-interventional) clinical study;

  • History of organ transplant that requires therapeutic immunosuppression;
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses including any patient known to have hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent;
  • Known history of tuberculosis;
  • History of another primary malignancy within 5 years prior to starting treatment, except for adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cancer of the cervix in situ and the disease under study;
  • Female patients who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control.
