Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-75 with untreated limited-stage SCLC (AJCC 8th edition I-III), measurable disease, good performance status, and suitable organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients who progress during chemoradiotherapy, have unsuitable radiation plans, or have contraindications to adebrelimab or the chemoradiotherapy regimen may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 2, multicenter, open-label trial randomizes patients who have not progressed after concurrent chemoradiotherapy to receive either adebrelimab consolidation therapy plus maintenance or a control approach. All participants receive residual-field or involved-field radiotherapy with carboplatin and etoposide during the initial cycles, followed by adebrelimab maintenance every 3 weeks in responders. The study uses a 1:1 randomization and includes adults with untreated limited-stage disease, measurable lesions, and adequate organ function. Primary endpoints typically include efficacy and safety, with ongoing monitoring for treatment-related adverse events. The trial is conducted at Henan Cancer Hospital in Zhengzhou, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could improve disease control and survival after chemoradiotherapy for limited-stage SCLC.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in similar immunotherapy consolidation strategies have shown potential benefits in SCLC, but this specific combination and design is relatively novel.

For females of reproductive potential: serum pregnancy test (HCG) must be negative within 7 days before first dosing.

10.Subjects are voluntarily enrolled, provide written informed consent, have good compliance, and agree to follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Prior systemic anti-tumor therapy or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy for SCLC.
3. Extensive-stage SCLC.
4. Presence of malignant pleural effusion. If aspiratable pleural effusion is present during screening, at least one thoracentesis must be performed to confirm the presence or absence of malignant cells.
5. Subjects with known or suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD); other moderate-to-severe pulmonary diseases that may interfere with the detection or management of drug-related pulmonary toxicity and severely impair respiratory function, including but not limited to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia/bronchiolitis obliterans, etc.
6. History of active, known or suspected autoimmune disease, including but not limited to myasthenia gravis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.
