Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical study explores a new treatment approach for individuals with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), a type of lung cancer that has spread widely. The study investigates how a medication called adebrelimab, when combined with standard chemotherapy, works alongside radiotherapy. Researchers are comparing two strategies: giving the radiation treatment at the same time as chemotherapy and adebrelimab, or giving it one after the other. This study is important because it aims to find out which method is more effective in treating this aggressive cancer, potentially leading to better outcomes for patients. Participants in the study will receive the treatment either in a concurrent or sequential manner. Adebrelimab and chemotherapy are administered through standard medical procedures, and radiotherapy is given as either a simultaneous or a follow-up treatment. Researchers will assess how well the cancer responds to these treatment combinations, checking for any improvements in patient outcomes. While the study aims to enhance treatment effectiveness, it also monitors for any possible side effects or risks associated with the combined therapies. The results could lead to improved treatment protocols for those battling ES-SCLC.

Protocol

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

60 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.
