Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

This study will enroll patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Patients will receive chemotherapy (etoposide and platinum-based drugs) combined with dual immune checkpoint blockade (PD-1/CTLA-4) and thymosin alpha 1, with a total cycles of 4. Thoracic radiotherapy was performed no later than the three cycle of chemotherapy. Prophylactic cranial irradiation was recommended for patients who received complete response or partial response after chemoradiotherapy. Finally consolidation therapy with dual immune checkpoint blockade (PD-1/CTLA-4) and thymosin alpha 1 was conducted for one year. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen.

Interventions

Treatment arms and agents.

DRUG

Immuno-chemotherapy

Immuno-chemotherapy regimen included etoposide, cisplatin, iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, and thymosin alpha 1.

RADIATION

Radiotherapy

Definitive dose of thoracic radiotherapy was delivered no later than the three cycle of immuno-chemotherapy. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) was delivered with a total dose of 25Gy in 10 fractions. PCI was recommended for patients who achieved complete response or partial response after thoracic chemoradiotherapy.

DRUG

Consolidative therapy

Consolidation therapy regimen included iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, and thymosin alpha 1, with a duration of one year.

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

Progression-free survival

Time frame · 2-year

PFS measures the time from the start date of treatment to disease progression, death from any cause or last follow up if alive.

Secondary outcomes

Overall survival

Time frame · 2-year

OS measures the time from the start date of treatment to death from any cause or last follow up if alive.

Treatment-related toxicity

Time frame · through study completion, an average of 18 months

Treatment-related toxicities were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0 toxicity
