About this study

Official title: A Single-Arm Trial of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation-Supported Dose-Dense Chemotherapy with Adebrelimab As First-Line Treatment for Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-supported dose-dense chemotherepy with adebrelimb works to treat extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer in adults. It will also assess the safety of this treatment approach.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-supported dose-dense chemotherepy with adebrelimb improve the median progression free survival and 12-months overall survival rates? What medical problems do participants experience whild undergoing this treatment?

Participants will:

Complete two 21-days cycles of standard-dose etoposide and carboplatin, followed by G-CSF for stem cell mobilization.

Receive dose-dense chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell reinfusion for two 21-day cycles.

If eligible, participants will receive etoposide and carboplatin plus adebrelimab for four cycles.

Finally, participants may enter a maintenance phase with adebrelimab.

Throughout the trial, participants will:

Visit the clinic every 21 days for check-ups and tests. Imaging examination every 6 weeks. Followed up by telephone every 2 months

What participants receive

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

  • auto-HSCT-Supported Dose-Dense Chemotherapy With AdebrelimabDrug

    Also called auto-HSCT, Dose-Dense Chemotherapy, Adebrelimab

    Induction:

    Two 21-day cycles of standard-dose etoposide 80-100 mg/m² on days 1-3 and carboplatin AUC 5-6 on day 1.

    Those without disease progression will advance to consolidation treatment.

    Consolidation:

    Stem cell mobilization with G-CSF will be start when white blood cell count is at its nadir post-chemotherapy.

    After recovery, peripheral blood stem cells will be collected via apheresis, evaluated, and cryopreserved if adequate.

    Dose-dense etoposide 160-200 mg/m² on days 1-3 and carboplatin AUC 10-12 on day 1 for two 21-day cycles.

    Within 48-72 hours after the first cycle, autologous peripheral blood stem cells will be reinfused with G-CSF.

    Further consolidation will depend on hematopoietic recovery with standard-dose EC plus adebrelimab 1200 mg on day 1 for four 21-day cycles.

    Maintenance:

    Adebrelimab 1200 mg every 21 days will be given until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, patient withdrawal, or investigator decision.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing auto-HSCT-Supported Dose-Dense Chemotherapy With Adebrelimab in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Zhou Chengzhi.

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 10 inclusion and 31 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Contact Chengzhi Zhou, MD (13560351186, doctorzcz@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0 (time frame: Time Frame: Followed up every 21 days.). 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 NCT06597513, 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 15 Oct 2024.
