Overview

For limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody is recommended. However, most patients cannot achieve a complete pathological response (CPR). A new immunotherapeutic strategy is needed to achieve a higher CPR rate. JS004 is a new antibody targeting B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), which restrains immune cells\' function and leads to immune escape of tumor cells. The combination of PD-1 and BTLA antibodies has shown a good therapeutic effect in solid tumors. This trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the therapeutic regimen of toripalimab and JS004 plus etoposide and platinum Chemotherapy in limited-stage SCLC.

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.
