About this study
Official title: An Exploratory Phase II Study of Bemotuzumab Combined With Chemotherapy and Anlotinib as Induction Therapy, Followed by Bemotuzumab, Anlotinib, and Consolidative Thoracic Radiotherapy in Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
This is a phase II study evaluating a new combination therapy for untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The treatment involves an initial phase with the drug Bemotuzumab plus standard chemotherapy and anlotinib, followed by a phase combining Bemotuzumab, anlotinib, and chest radiation. The primary objectives are to assess the efficacy of this approach in delaying cancer growth (progression-free survival) and to evaluate its safety in approximately 25 patients.
Read the detailed description
This is an exploratory Phase II clinical trial for previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The study evaluates a novel three-phase sequential treatment strategy: patients first receive induction therapy with Bemotuzumab combined with standard chemotherapy and Anlotinib; those achieving disease control then proceed to consolidation therapy with Bemotuzumab, Anlotinib, and concurrent thoracic radiotherapy; followed by a maintenance phase with Bemotuzumab plus Anlotinib. The primary objectives are to assess the regimen's efficacy in prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) and to observe its safety profile. The study plans to enroll approximately 25 patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Bemotuzumab + Anlotinib + Chemotherapy + RadiotherapyCombination product
Also called Anlotinib Hydrochloride, Bemotuzumab Injection, Fucovee, Hypofractionated Radiotherapy
This is a multi-phase combined modality regimen.
Induction Phase (4 cycles): Bemotuzumab (1200mg IV, Day1 q3w) + Platinum/Etoposide chemotherapy (Carboplatin [AUC5] or Cisplatin [75-80 mg/m²] on Day1, plus Etoposide [100 mg/m² IV, Days1-3]) + oral Anlotinib (12mg, Days1-14, then 7 days off).
Consolidation Phase (2 cycles): Bemotuzumab (same dose) + Anlotinib (same schedule) + concurrent Thoracic Radiotherapy (5 Gy per fraction for 5 fractions).
Maintenance Phase: Bemotuzumab (q3w) + Anlotinib until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Anlotinib Dose Modification: The dose may be increased to 12mg if well tolerated. For toxicity, it can be reduced sequentially (12mg→10mg→8mg). Treatment is discontinued if 8mg is not tolerated. For subjects at 8mg, one dose re-escalation is permitted if, in the investigator's judgement, clinical benefit is possible and safety is stable.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental Group | Experimental | Participants receive a multi-phase experimental regimen. Induction (4 cycles, q3w): Bemotuzumab (1200 mg IV, Day 1) combined with investigator's choice of platinum-etoposide chemotherapy (Carboplatin AUC=5 or Cisplatin 75-80 mg/m² on Day 1, plus Etoposide 100 mg/m² IV on Days 1-3) and oral Anlotinib (12 mg once daily on Days 1-14, then 7 days off).
Consolidation (2 cycles, q3w): Bemotuzumab (same dose) + Anlotinib (same schedule) with concurrent hypofractionated thoracic radiotherapy (5 Gy per fraction for 5 fractions).
Maintenance: Bemotuzumab (q3w) + Anlotinib (same schedule) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria. Anlotinib dose may be reduced (12mg → 10mg → 8mg) for managing toxicity. Receives: Combination Product: Bemotuzumab + Anlotinib + Chemotherapy + Radiotherapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from enrollment to the first documented disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Tumor assessments are performed every 6 weeks (every 2 treatment cycles).
Measured: From enrollment until disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to approximately 24 months.
Secondary outcomes (3)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Measured: From enrollment until the first documented CR or PR, assessed up to approximately 24 months.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause.
Measured: From enrollment until death from any cause, assessed up to approximately 24 months.
Incidence of Grade ≥3 Immune-Related Adverse Events (irAEs)
The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events assessed as immune-related and graded ≥3 according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0.
Measured: From first dose of study drug until 28 days after the last dose, assessed up to approximately 24 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Bemotuzumab + Anlotinib + Chemotherapy + Radiotherapy in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and SCLC, Extensive Stage, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and 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 19 inclusion and 11 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 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 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 Dingzhi Huang, Doctor (86-22-23340123 ext. 3200, dingzhih72@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: From enrollment until disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to approximately 24 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 NCT07358676, 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 6 Jul 2026.
