Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

The study group

Patients will receive chemotherapy (etoposide and platinum-based drugs) combined with dual immune checkpoint blockade (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) 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 (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) and thymosin alpha 1 was conducted for one year.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Immuno-chemotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

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

Radiotherapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

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.

Consolidative therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

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