About this trial
Open-label, single-arm, prospective multicenter phase II clinical trial to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy with durvalumab concomitant with radiochemotherapy, followed by durvalumab maintenance therapy in combination with stereotactic radiotherapy in extensive stage SCLC
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Histologically confirmed first diagnosis of ES-SCLC according to the Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) Staging System for SCLC1 (disease extension that cannot be treated within one radiation field).
Primary tumor with or without mediastinal or supraclavicular lymph node metastases (counts as one lesion if it can be treated within one radiation field).
Up to four distant tumor lesions/metastases that can be treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (stereotactic radiotherapy of lung metastases in addition to radiochemotherapy of primary tumor should previously be discussed with the principal investigator).
No cytologically confirmed malignant pleural effusion (in case of suspected malignant pleural effusion in imaging, pleurocentesis for cytological assessment is required).
Disqualifiers
Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks.
Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study.
Prior systemic anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy), apart from two cycles of etoposide/platinum + durvalumab (prior chemotherapy/ immunotherapy/ targeted therapy for other malignancy treated with curative intent ≥5 years ago is no exclusion criterion).
Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous chemo-immunotherapy (2 cycles of platinum/etoposide + durvalumab) with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Thoracic Radiochemotherapy
RadiationRadiotherapy to the primary tumor including mediastinal lymph node metastases is delivered in single fractions of 1.8Gy once daily up to a cumulative dose of 63.0Gy by intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
durvalumab
DrugDurvalumab is administered in fixed dose 1500mg in q3w cycles concomitant to chemotherapy and q4w cycles during maintenance treatment
Stereotactic radiotherapy of further tumor locations
RadiationStereotactic radiotherapy is delivered to the up to four further tumor locations during durvalumab maintenance therapy and will be performed according to local standards with established dose and fractionation schemes in ablative doses depending on the affected organ system.
Chemotherapy
DrugConcomitant chemotherapy consists of further two cycles platinum/etoposide q3w (summarized cycle 3-4).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS) rate
Efficacy of a treatment scheme consisting of thoracic radiotherapy concomitant to platinum/etoposide/durvalumab therapy followed by stereotactic radiotherapy concomitant to durvalumab maintenance to improve the one year PFS rate using investigator assessments according to RECIST 1.1
Secondary outcomes
overall survival (OS)
One-year OS rate
