Clinical Trial Summary

Studies have shown that combining chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) prolongs survival compared with chemotherapy alone in extensive stage small-cell lung cancer (ES SCLC), but the survival benefit is modest. The main aim of this trial is to investigate whether there is a synergistic/additive effect of concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in ES SCLC patients receiving carboplatin/etoposide/durvalumab.


Clinical Trial Description

Studies show that adding ICI therapy to standard chemotherapy prolongs survival in ES SCLC. The survival benefit, however, is modest, and there is a need for more effective therapy. It has been hypothesized that there is a synergistic effect of combining ICI with radiotherapy. In this randomized phase III study, the main aim is to investigate whether concurrent thoracic radiotherapy of 30 Gy/10 fractions improves survival in ES SCLC patients receiving carboplatin/etoposide/durvalumab. It is currently not possible to classify the patients who benefit from ICIs in SCLC. In this study, biological material (tissue, blood, feces) which will be analyzed for potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers. Prophylactic cranial irradiation in ES SCLC is debated, mainly due to the potentially detrimental effect on cognition. Thus, frequency and timing of brain metastases and cognitive function will be assessed before, during and after study treatment. ;
