Combination therapy for limited-stage small cell lung cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of a new treatment regimen combining the PD-1 antibody toripalimab and the BTLA-targeting antibody JS004 with etoposide and platinum chemotherapy for patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The goal is to improve the rate of complete pathological response (CPR) in patients who typically do not achieve this with standard treatments. Participants will receive the combination therapy followed by surgery, and their responses will be closely monitored. The study aims to provide a novel immunotherapeutic strategy to enhance treatment outcomes for SCLC.
