About this trial

This is a Phase II, single-arm, single-center study evaluating Chidamide combined with a PD-L1 inhibitor, carboplatin, and etoposide as first-line therapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) patients. The primary objective is to assess Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary objectives include Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), Overall Survival (OS), and safety. Approximately 36 participants will receive induction therapy (Chidamide + chemotherapy + PD-L1 inhibitor) for 4 cycles, followed by Chidamide maintenance until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Chidamide Tablets; PD-L1 Inhibitor (as per chosen drug's prescribing information);Carboplatin; Etoposide

    Drug

    Induction Phase: Chidamide 15 mg orally on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles.PD-L1 inhibitor, carboplatin, and etoposide are administered per their respective prescribing information.
