Overview

This is a Phase II, single arm, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) concurrent cisplatin/carboplatin plus etoposide with serplulimab in participants who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and are chemotherapy-navïe for their extensive-stage disease.

Description

Enrolled patients will receive the following treatment regimen: LDRT-concurrent cisplatin/carboplatin plus etoposide in combination with serplulimab. The induction period consists of 4 cycles of 21 days each. Low-dose radiotherapy at 15Gy/5f will be performed concurrently from Day 1 to Day 5 (D1-D5) of Cycle 1. An efficacy assessment will be performed at the end of Cycle 2 and one week before the start of Cycle 3. For patients with primary lung lesions (intrathoracic lesions) evaluated as small PR (tumor shrinkage < 80%)/SD/PD, low-dose radiotherapy at 15Gy/5f will be performed in addition to serplulimab with chemotherapy in Cycle 3. For subjects evaluated as PD/SD/PR with extrathoracic residual metastases, low-dose radiotherapy at 15Gy/5f will be performed in addition to serplulimab with chemotherapy in Cycle 4. Definition of extrathoracic lesions for radiotherapy: Metastases to liver, metastases to adrenals and metastases to lymph nodes (at the discretion of the investigator).

After the induction period, the subjects will continue to receive maintenance treatment with serplulimab. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is allowed for treatment according to local standard of care. Patients will be treated until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or death, whichever occurs first.

Eligibility

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC
  2. No prior treatment for ES-SCLC
  3. Measurable disease, as defined by RECIST v1.1. Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if progressive disease has been unequivocally documented at that site since radiation.
  4. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
  5. Life expectancy >= 3 months
  6. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  7. For participants receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: stable anticoagulant regimen
  8. Negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test at screening
  9. Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening
  10. Positive hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) test at screening, or negative HBsAb at screening accompanied by either of the following: Negative total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), or positive total HBcAb test followed by a negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA test. The HBV DNA test will be performed only for participants who have a negative HBsAg test, a negative HBsAb test, and a positive total HBcAb test.
  11. Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test at screening, or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at screening. The HCV RNA test will be performed only for participants who have a positive HCV antibody test.
  12. For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception
  13. For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases
  2. Participants with pulmonary artery invasion
  3. History of leptomeningeal disease
  4. Uncontrolled tumor-related pain
  5. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures
  6. Uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia
  7. Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency
  8. History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan
  9. Active tuberculosis
  10. Significant cardiovascular disease within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment, unstable arrhythmia, or unstable angina
  11. History of malignancy other than small cell lung cancer (SCLC) within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
