Clinical trial Recruiting at 1 site Phase 1 Interventional Ages 18 to 80

Maintenance treatment with [225Ac]Ac-DOTATATE plus tislelizumab for extensive‑stage small cell lung cancer with somatostatin receptor–positive tumors

Official title: A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of [225Ac]Ac-DOTATATE Injection Combined With Tislelizumab in the Maintenance Treatment Period for Patients of Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) With Somatostatin Receptors (SSTR)+ as First-line Treatment

Run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute · NCT07413042 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will try to see if adding a targeted radioligand ([225Ac]Ac‑DOTATATE) to the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab as maintenance helps people with extensive‑stage small cell lung cancer whose tumors are somatostatin receptor positive after first‑line treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults (18–80) with extensive‑stage SCLC confirmed by pathology who completed standard first‑line induction, are SSTR‑PET positive, have ECOG 0–1, at least one measurable lesion, and adequate organ and bone marrow function.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors are SSTR‑PET negative, who have poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), significant organ dysfunction, or who have not completed first‑line induction 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 phase I, single‑center, open‑label study enrolling patients with extensive‑stage small cell lung cancer who have completed induction first‑line therapy and whose tumors are SSTR‑PET positive. Participants will receive [225Ac]Ac‑DOTATATE in combination with tislelizumab during the maintenance period, with close monitoring for safety and tolerability. The trial requires at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 and ECOG 0–1, and collects laboratory, adverse event, and tumor response data to identify preliminary signs of efficacy. Primary focus is on dose‑related and treatment‑related toxicities, with secondary observation of tumor control measures.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could help keep disease under control longer during the maintenance period and delay relapse.

How similar studies have gone: Targeting somatostatin receptors with radioligands has shown benefit in certain neuroendocrine tumors, but use of an alpha‑emitter like [225Ac]Ac‑DOTATATE and its combination with PD‑1 blockade in SCLC is largely experimental with limited prior human data.
