About this study

Official title: A First-line Multi-center, Single-arm Exploratory Study Using Low-dose Radiotherapy (LDRT) Combined With Durvalumab (MEDI4736), Etoposide, and Cisplatin/Carboplatin for Patients With Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) combined with durvalumab, etoposide, and cisplatin/carboplatin in the first-line treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study will enrol 30 subjects at 3 sites in China. Subjects who fulfil all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled and receive treatment with Durvalumab and EP for 4 cycles. Durvalumab will be administered at a dose of 1500 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) with first-line chemotherapy and will continue to be administered as monotherapy every 4 weeks(Q4W) post-chemotherapy until progressive disease. The LDRT deals with primary tumour in a 15 Gy of 5 fractions over five days, starting from Day 1 in the first cycle. Subjects will attend safety follow up 12 weeks ±14 days after last dose of Durvalumab. The primary endpoint is mPFS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Low-dose radiotherapy, Durvalumab and Etoposide, and cisplatin/carboplatin in people with Lung Cancer and Extensive-stage Small-cell Lung Cancer, run by You Lu at 3 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?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 29 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 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 3 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: up to 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 NCT05092412, 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 8 May 2026.
