About this study
Official title: Phase III Randomized Study of Hypofractionated vs Conventionally Fractionated Concurrent Chemo-radiotherapy for Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine whether hypofractionated concurrent chemo-radiotherapy has the same efficiency as conventionally fractionated concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Read the detailed description
For patients with Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer, 45Gy/15F of radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy will be used in experimental arm. While 60Gy/30F of radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy will be used in the control arm. Both survival and toxicity of the two arms will be observed and compared.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing hypofractionated concurrent chemoradiotherapy and conventionally fractionated concurrent chemoradiotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Small Cell and Lung Neoplasms, run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 29 May 2026. 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.
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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
overall survival (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02688036, which also lists 34 linked publications.
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 29 May 2026.
