  1. Body weight >30 kg.
  2. At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have a short axis ≥15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and that is suitable for accurate repeated measurements as per RECIST 1.1 guidelines.

Being tested
Durvalumab plus chemotherapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Durvalumab plus chemotherapyDrug

    Drug: Durvalumab IV infusions every 3 weeks for 4-6 cycles and every 4 weeks thereafter until PD or other discontinuation criteria.

Study groups in NCT04449861
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Durvalumab plus 4-6 cycles chemotherapyExperimentalParticipants will receive treatment with durvalumab + etoposide and either cisplatin or carboplatin (EP) for 4 to 6 cycles. Durvalumab will be administered at a dose of 1500 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) with first-line chemotherapy (EP) and will continue to be administered as monotherapy every 4 weeks (Q4W) post-chemotherapy until progressive disease (PD). Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is allowed at the investigators' discretion as per SoC guidance for ES-SCLC. Patients will attend a safety follow up visit 90 days after last dose of durvalumab.
Receives: Drug: Durvalumab plus chemotherapy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With Grade ≥3 AEs

    Measured: 19 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Immune-mediated Adverse Events (imAEs)

    An immune-mediated adverse event (imAE) is defined as an AESI that is associated with drug exposure and is consistent with an immune-mediated mechanism of action and where there is no clear alternate aetiology.

    Measured: 19 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS by investigator assessment according to RECIST v1.1 criteria

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from first dose of study treatment until the date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the patient withdraws from study therapy or receives another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression. Patients who have not progressed or died at the time of analysis will be censored at the time of the latest date of assessment of investigator. However, if the patient progresses or dies after 2 or more missed visits, the patient will be censored at the time of the latest assessment. If the patient has no evaluable visits or does not have baseline data, they will be censored at the day of first dose unless they die within 2 visits of baseline.

    Measured: 19 months

  2. Proportion of Patients Alive and Progression Free at 12 Months (APF12)

    The APF12 is defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of PFS (per investigator assessment according to RECIST v1.1 criteria) at 12 months.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective Response Rate is defined as the number (%) of patients with measurable disease with at least 1 visit response of CR or PR. Data obtained up until progression or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression will be included in the assessment of ORR. Any CR or PR which occurred after a further anti-cancer therapy was received will not be included in the numerator for the ORR calculation.

    Measured: 19 months

  4. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study treatment until death due to any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis will be censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: 19 months

  5. Proportion of Patients Alive at 12 Months (OS12)

    The OS12 is defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of OS at 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression. The end of response should coincide with the date of progression or death from any cause used for the PFS endpoint. The time of the initial response will be defined as the latest of the dates contributing towards the first visit response of PR or CR.

    Measured: 19 months

  7. Percentage of Participants With AEs

    Measured: 19 months

  8. Percentage of Participants With SAEs

    Measured: 19 months

  9. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

    Measured: 19 months

  10. Percentage of Participants With AEs Resulting in Treatment Discontinuation

    Measured: 19 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Durvalumab plus chemotherapy in people with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Extensive Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 30 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 27 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Nov 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With Grade ≥3 AEs (time frame: 19 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 Nov 2024.
