Adebrelimab plus chemotherapy with concurrent low-dose radiotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer

Official title: Multicenter, Phase II Randomized Controlled Study of Adebrelimab Combined With Chemotherapy and Concurrent Low-Dose Radiotherapy (LDRT) for the Treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Run by Sichuan University · NCT06610734 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy together with low-dose radiotherapy helps adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer or respond better to treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with histologically or cytologically confirmed extensive-stage SCLC, ECOG 0–1, treatment‑naive for extensive disease, and expected survival ≥8 weeks are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with mixed small cell/non-small cell histology, poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), prior systemic therapy for extensive SCLC, recent major surgery, or inability to receive radiotherapy are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

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

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, randomized phase II trial enrolling adults with newly diagnosed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer and good performance status. Participants are randomized to receive adebrelimab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy and concurrent low-dose radiotherapy versus a control regimen per protocol. Treatment includes induction chemo with concurrent LDRT and scheduled doses of adebrelimab, with safety monitoring throughout and follow-up for response and survival. Key outcomes include tumor response, progression-free and overall survival, and treatment tolerability.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could increase response rates and extend survival compared with chemotherapy alone.

How similar studies have gone: Previous phase III trials adding immune checkpoint inhibitors such as atezolizumab or durvalumab to chemotherapy showed modest survival benefits in extensive-stage SCLC, and combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy is an active area with early supportive signals.
