Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, single-arm, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) concurrent chemotherapy combined with toripalimab and Tifcemalimab (JS004) in the first-line treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Approximately 6-12 subjects were planned to be enrolled in this clinical study. The study will adopt a "3 + 3" dose escalation design, and the observation period for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) is 21 days after the first dose administration. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will receive toripalimab 240 mg q3w, tifcemalimab 100 mg or 200 mg q3w until disease progression or intolerable toxicity; cisplatin for injection 75 mg/m2 or carboplatin AUC = 5, q3w, etoposide 100 mg/m2, d1, d2, d3, q3w for 4-6 cycles; low-dose radiotherapy with a total dose of 15 Gy, radiotherapy will be started on Cycle 1 Day 1 in 5 divided doses (15 Gy/5F).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria
