About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Low-dose Thoracic Radiotherapy Followed by Adebrelimab Plus Chemotherapy and Sequential Adebrelimab Maintenance Therapy for Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Prospective, Multicenter Phase II Study

This study is a multicenter, prospective investigation aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiotherapy (15Gy/1.5 Gy bid × 10 fractions) combined with 4-6 cycles of systemic chemotherapy concurrently with Adebrelimab, followed by Adebrelimab maintenance therapy for up to two years, in subjects with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Additionally, immunohistochemical detection of the expression levels of four key transcriptional proteins-YAP1, NEUROD1, ASCL1, and POU2F3-will be performed to guide the molecular subtyping of SCLC. Based on these findings, we will explore the differential therapeutic outcomes of this regimen across distinct molecular subtypes (A/N/P/Y/I/AN/QN), with the goal of identifying the subject population most likely to benefit from this treatment modality, thereby optimizing clinical decision-making.

Read the detailed description

This study plans to prospectively enroll 43 subjects with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) without malignant pleural effusion from multiple centers. All subjects will first receive low-dose radiotherapy (DT 15 Gy, 1.5 Gy/fraction × 10 fractions, BID). Within one week after radiotherapy completion, subjects will receive 4-6 cycles of systemic chemotherapy (EP or EC regimen) combined with adebrelimab (anti-PD-L1 antibody), followed by adebrelimab maintenance therapy for two years. Through this regimen, we aim to achieve survival outcomes comparable to or even superior to those of the MATCH study from West China Hospital (median PFS 6.9 months, median OS 16.9 months) and the NCT04562337 study from Shandong Cancer Hospital (median PFS 10.1 months, median OS 21.4 months), with manageable toxicity profiles.

Additionally, immunohistochemistry (IHC) will be performed to detect the expression levels of four key transcriptional proteins-YAP1, NEUROD1, ASCL1, and POU2F3-which are used to guide the molecular subtyping of small cell lung cancer. Based on these results, we will investigate the differential efficacy of this treatment regimen across distinct molecular subtypes (A/N/P/Y/I/AN/QN), with the goal of identifying the subject population most likely to benefit from this approach and ultimately better serving clinical practice.

What participants receive

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

  • EtoposideDrug

    Etoposide 100 mg/m² on days 1-3 plus cisplatin 25 mg/m² on days 1-3, every 3 weeks (q3w), or etoposide 100 mg/m² on days 1-3 plus carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1, every 3 weeks (q3w).

  • CisplatinDrug

    Etoposide (100 mg/m²) and cisplatin (25 mg/m²) were administered on days 1-3 of each 3-week cycle.

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Etoposide (100 mg/m²) was given on days 1-3 and carboplatin (AUC 5) on day 1 of each 3-week cycle.

  • AdebrelimabDrug

    20 mg/kg intravenously on day 1, repeated every 21 days (q3w). Administered concurrently with chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles, followed by maintenance monotherapy for up to 2 years.

  • Thoracic RadiotherapyRadiation

    All subjects will first receive low-dose radiotherapy (DT 15 Gy, 1.5 Gy per fraction × 10 fractions, BID). Within one week after radiotherapy completion, they will receive 4-6 cycles of systemic chemotherapy (EP or EC regimen) combined concurrently with adebrelimab. Following the 4-6 cycles of chemo-immunotherapy, adebrelimab maintenance therapy will be continued for two years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival(PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the initiation of radiotherapy to the first documented disease recurrence/progression, metastasis, or death from any cause.

    Measured: From the date of first radiotherapy to the date of first documented disease progression, metastasis.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from the initiation of radiotherapy to death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of first radiotherapy to date of death from any cause, assessed up to 36 months.

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of subjects achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1 criteria based on evaluable lesions in the lungs and distant metastases (including primary tumor, lymph nodes, and distant metastatic lesions), relative to the total enrolled population.

    Measured: Baseline (within 28 days prior to first dose), then every 8 weeks (±7 days) from radiotherapy initiation until 2 years post-treatment.

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    The disease control rate (DCR), defined as the proportion of subjects achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) per RECIST 1.1 criteria based on evaluable lesions in the lungs and distant metastases (including primary tumor, lymph nodes, and distant metastatic lesions), relative to the total enrolled population.

    Measured: Baseline (within 28 days prior to first dose), then every 8 weeks (±7 days) from radiotherapy initiation until 2 years post-treatment.

  4. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Frequency, severity, and relationship of adverse events assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

    Measured: From date of first low-dose radiotherapy to 30 days after last dose.

  5. To investigate the association between distinct molecular subtypes and clinical outcomes, including prognosis and treatment-related toxicity.

    Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for YAP1, NEUROD1, ASCL1, and POU2F3 to determine molecular subtypes; prognosis assessed via Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression; toxicity graded per CTCAE v5.0.

    Measured: Baseline: collect tumor tissue (archived FFPE or fresh biopsy) prior to treatment initiation; prognosis follow-up until progression or death (imaging q6w, survival q3m); toxicity monitoring until 30 days post-last dose (recorded at each visit).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etoposide, Cisplatin and Carboplatin in people with Lung and Radiotherapy, run by Jiangmen Central 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 10 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 22 Sep 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 Lin Xiao (0750-3165972, xiaolin7966165@126.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 the date of first radiotherapy to the date of first documented disease progression, metastasis.). 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 22 Sep 2026.
