Study start date: June 1, 2023

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study is focused on treating limited stage small cell lung cancer, a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer that affects about 15% of lung cancer patients. Despite initial treatments like chemotherapy showing good response rates, many patients experience a return or worsening of the disease. This trial explores the potential of combining a drug called Durvalumab with standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy to see if it can improve patient outcomes. Durvalumab works by helping the immune system better detect and attack cancer cells, potentially slowing disease progression and improving survival rates. Participants in this study will receive Durvalumab along with traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Durvalumab is administered as an injection, and it works by blocking certain interactions in the body that allow cancer cells to evade the immune system. The trial will closely monitor both the safety and effectiveness of this combined treatment approach, looking specifically at how well it controls cancer growth and any side effects experienced by the participants. This could lead to more effective treatment options for people dealing with this challenging form of lung cancer.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

58 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
Criteria

Any sex

Biological sex of participants that are eligible to enroll.

From 18 to 75 Years

Range of ages for which participants are eligible to join.

Healthy volunteers not allowed

If individuals who are healthy and do not have the condition being studied can participate.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Voluntary participation and written signed informed consent; * Age 18-75 years old, gender is not limited; * Histologically or cytologically confirmed limited-stage small cell lung cancer (2009 AJCC/UICC/IASLC lung cancer TNM staging criteria, limited-stage SCLC is any T stage, any N stage, and M0), and patients with suspected brain or bone metastasis at the time of screening should undergo brain MRI or ECT before study enrollment; * There are immunohistochemical results; * Chemotherapy must include either cisplatin or carboplatin, in combination with etoposide; * Physical status score ECOG 0-1; * Weight \> 40 kg; * Expected survival ≥ 6 months; * According to RECIST 1.1 guidelines, at least one lesion (not previously receiving radiotherapy) with a maximum diameter ≥ 10 mm as accurately measured by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at baseline (except lymph nodes, whose short axis must be ≥ 15 mm); And the lesion is suitable for repeated accurate measurement.; * No previous immunotherapy; * no serious abnormalities of haematopoietic, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic; and renal functions and immunodeficiency (Haematology: white blood cells ≥3.5×109/L; neutrophils ≥1.5×109/L; haemoglobin ≥90g/L; platelets ≥100×109/L. Liver and kidney function: total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal; creatinine ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal; albumin ≥30 g/L. Coagulation: International Normalised Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) or Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 times ULN; if the subject is receiving anticoagulation therapy, PT or INR is acceptable as long as the PT or INR is within the range of the anticoagulant drug formulation. Echocardiographic assessment: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ low limit of normal (50%). Pulmonary function FEV1 ≥70% of % of predicted value and DLCO ≥60% of % of predicted value). * The female patient has evidence of postmenopausal status, or the urine or serum pregnancy test results of the premenopausal woman are negative. Women who stop menstruating for 12 months without other medical reasons are considered menopausal. Exclusion Criteria: * Distant organ metastases (excluding supraclavicular lymph nodes) as determined by CT evaluation during screening and prior imaging; * have received prior radiotherapy to the chest; * have medical contraindications to etoposide - platinum (carboplatin or cisplatin) based chemotherapy; * having any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease (e.g. interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, pituitary gland inflammation, vasculitis, myocarditis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (which can be included if hormone replacement therapy is effective), etc.), and a history of immunosuppressive drug use within 28 days, with the exception of the use of hormones for the purpose of dealing with toxicity from radiotherapy; * Previously received or are receiving other PD-1 antibody therapy or other immunotherapy targeting PD-1/PD-L1, or are currently participating in other interventional clinical studies for treatment; * Have received other anti-tumour therapy (including herbal therapy with anti-tumour effect) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study; have received long-term systemic immunotherapy or hormone therapy (except physiological replacement therapy, e.g., oral thyroxine for hypothyroidism) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study; and have been treated with other experimental drugs or interventional clinical studies within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study; * Patients with uncontrolled clinical cardiac symptoms or disease such as (1) NYHA class II or higher heart failure, (2) unstable angina pectoris, (3) myocardial infarction within 1 year, and (4) clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention; * with congenital or acquired immune function defects (e.g., HIV-infected patients), active hepatitis B (HBV-DNA ≥104 copies/ml) or hepatitis C (hepatitis C antibody-positive with HCV-RNA above the lower limit of detection of the analytical method), or active tuberculosis; * Have an active infection or unexplained fever \>38.5°C within 2 weeks prior to screening (at the investigator's discretion, subjects may be enrolled for fever arising from tumours); * In the judgement of the investigator, the subject has other factors that may cause him/her to be forced to terminate the study in the middle of the study, e.g., suffering from other serious illnesses (including psychiatric illnesses) that require comorbid treatment, family or social factors that may affect the safety of the subject or the collection of trial data.
