About this study

Official title: Sintilimab Combined With Anlotinib as Second- or Further-line Therapy for Extensive Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Prospective, Single-arm, Phase II Study

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 10-15% of lung cancer. More than 70% of SCLC patients are diagnosed with advanced stage (ED-SCLC) at diagnosis. ED-SCLC is highly chemo-sensitive, the first-line treatment is platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy. Although ED-SCLC is highly sensitive to chemotherapy and the objective response rate (ORR) of first-line chemotherapy is as high as 60-80%, the progression-free survival (PFS) is very short, and there is a lack of effective second-line treatment. The median overall survival (OS) of patients is only 10 months, and the 2-year survival rate is about 6%.

Read the detailed description

In August 2018, the FDA approved Nivolumab as a third-line treatment for ED-SCLC patients. Sintilimab is another PD-1 inhibitor produced by China and has been approved by cFDA for lymphoma. Anlotinib is a novel multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with effect of anti-tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth inhibition. The results of ALTER1202 showed that compared with placebo, Anlotinib single-agent as third-line treatment in ED-SCLC was effective, the median PFS was 4.1 versus 0.7 months, respectively (P < 0.001).

Immunotherapy combined with anti-angiogenic therapy has been proven effective and tolerable in non-small cell lung caner (NSCLC), while its efficacy and safety in SCLC has not been reported. Therefore, the investigators conduct this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab combined with Anlotinib as second or further-line therapy for ED-SCLC patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sintilimab in people with Extensive Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Henan Cancer Hospital 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 13 inclusion and 13 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 28 Jun 2023. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

PFS (time frame: 8 months). 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 NCT04055792, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Jun 2023.
