About this trial
This is a single-center, single-arm, exploratory clinical study conducted at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with benmelstobart plus anlotinib and chemotherapy (carboplatin/cisplatin plus etoposide), followed by sequential thoracic radiotherapy, in patients with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
Eligible participants will be adults aged 18-75 years with histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC, measurable lesions per RECIST 1.1, ECOG performance status 0-1, and adequate organ function. Patients will receive 4 cycles of induction therapy (benmelstobart, anlotinib, platinum-etoposide chemotherapy). Those without disease progression will receive consolidative thoracic radiotherapy, followed by maintenance therapy with benmelstobart plus anlotinib until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigators. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), and safety parameters including adverse events graded by CTCAE 5.0. A total of 33 subjects will be enrolled. This study uses a non-randomized, open-label design without a control group.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
1: Histologically or cytologically confirmed inoperable extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) according to the VALG staging system
Disqualifiers
1: Patients with symptomatic brain metastases. Patients whose brain metastases have been treated and remain clinically stable for at least 1 month, with no use of steroids or anticonvulsants for at least 1 month prior to study enrollment, are eligible
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
benmelstobart
DrugA PD-L1 inhibitor (biological product) administered intravenously. Used for immunotherapy in combination with other agents to treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
Anlotinib
DrugA small-molecule anti-angiogenic drug administered orally. Inhibits tumor angiogenesis to suppress tumor growth, used as part of the first-line combined therapy for ES-SCLC.
Carboplatin or cisplatin
DrugA platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent administered intravenously.
Etoposide
DrugA topoisomerase II inhibitor administered intravenously. Works by interfering with tumor cell replication, combined with platinum agents as first-line chemotherapy for ES-SCLC.
Thoracic Radiotherapy
RadiationExternal beam radiation therapy delivered to the thoracic region. Administered as consolidative treatment for non-progressive ES-SCLC patients after induction therapy, with a total dose based on clinical practice guidelines.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Investigator-assessed ORR per RECIST 1.1 in ES-SCLC patients treated with benmelstobart plus anlotinib and chemotherapy followed by thoracic radiotherapy.
Secondary outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time from first treatment to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
Overall Survival (OS)
Time from first study treatment to death from any cause; censored at last follow-up for alive subjects
6-Month Progression-Free Survival Rate
Estimated proportion of subjects without progression and alive at 6 months after first treatment using Kaplan-Meier method
Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Collect SAEs resulting in death, life-threatening condition, hospitalization, disability per CTCAE 5.0 and ICH-GCP, document and report
