Active clinical trials for "Small Cell Lung Carcinoma"

Most patients with extensive stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who undergo chemotherapy, and prophylactic cranial irradiation, have persistent intrathoracic disease. A Dutch study recently proved that thoracic radiotherapy(TRT), using 30 Gy in 10 fractions of 3 Gy, could improve 2-year overall survival(OS) of this patient group compared with non-TRT group. But intrathoracic progression was still high, either with or without progression elsewhere, occurring in 43.7% in the TRT group. The ideal TRT regimen for ES-SCLC is undefined. Maybe higher dose can provide better local control(LC) and overall survival. In this study, the investigators propose to give an increased dose of TRT to determine whether higher dose will improve 2-year OS, LC and progression-free survival.

Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is an important treatment modality of patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC). However, PCI is also associated with several side effects, such as decline in memory and other cognitive functions. This provides the rationale to explore the clinical feasibility of hippocampal avoidance during WBRT. Previous studies have demonstrated the dosimetric capabilities of IMRT to conformally avoid the hippocampus without detriment to the radiation dose the remaining brain receives. The aims of this study is to evaluate the therapy efficacy and the safety profile of hippocampal-sparing whole-brain radiation therapy (HS-WBRT) for PCI in patients with LD-SCLC.

This study evaluates temozolomide maintain therapeutic efficacy and safety in extensive stage SCLC who has clinical benefit from etoposide combined Los platinum (EL) scheme in the first line treatment.

In this Single arm study, histologically or cytologically confirmed ED-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients resistant to or relapsed after standard chemotherapy will be enrolled to investigate the Efficacy and Safety of a Combination of Sintilimab and Metformin. Primary outcome: Objective response rate (ORR), Safety of the combination therapy Secondary outcome: Overall survival (OS), Progression-free survival (PFS), Duration of response(DOR),

This randomized phase II study compare survival outcomes and toxicity of two chemotherapy regimens (irinotecan plus lobaplatin or irinotecan) for the second-line treatment of recurrent small-cell lung cancer.

This is a single arm Phase II study, in which 4 cycles of chemotherapy (Etoposide and Cisplatin) and durvalumab with thoracic radiotherapy (52.2Gy, 2.1Gy/Fx) start at the 3rd cycle of chemotherapy and durvalumab for limited disease-small cell lung cancer. Four weeks after completion of concurrent chemoradiation therapy, patients will receive durvalumab consolidation monotherapy every 4 weeks until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity up to the maximum duration of 2 years since enrollment.

Small cell lung cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy. Currently, there is no effective regimen for patients after the progression offirst-line chemotherapy. The prognosis of patients with extensive disease is very poor, and the improved therapeutic efficacy is urgently needed. Most patients with small cell lung cancer have a long history of smoking, and the tumor mutation burden is relatively high, which provides potential for immunological checkpoint inhibitors represented by PD-1 antibodies. A number of studies have shown that chemotherapy combined with adoptive cellular immunotherapy could prolong the survival of patients. This study is a clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy with sintilimab after 4-6 cycles of first-line chemotherapy combined with adoptive cellular immunotherapy in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer.
