Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Tislelizumab plus chemo and radiotherapy

Experimental treatment

  1. Drug: Tislelizumab, Carboplatin /Cisplatin, Etoposide

    • Tislelizumab (200 mg IV Q3W) in combination with chemotherapy consisting of etoposide (100 mg/m² IV Days 1-3 of each 21-day cycle) and platinum (cisplatin 75 mg/m² IV Q3W or carboplatin area under the plasma or serum concentration-time curve (AUC) 5 IV Q3W) for 4 cycles. Then maintenance consists of Tislelizumab Q3W and will continue until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed consent,up to 2 years.

  2. Radiotherapy:

    • Induction therapy stage LDRT: lung lesions, 15Gy/5f;
    • Maintenance therapy phase SBRT: The main residual lesions evaluated by the investigators, 30Gy/5f;

Control group: This study refers to the Phase III RATIONALE-312 study, the reported median PFS was 4.7 months in patients treated with Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy. This regimen has been recommened as 1L treatment for ES-SCLC in the CSCO guidelines.

Induction therapy stage LDRT: lung lesions, 15Gy/5f; Maintenance therapy phase SBRT: The main residual lesions evaluated by the investigators, 30Gy/5f;
Other Names:
  • radiotherapy

Time Frame: Baseline until PD or death, whichever occurs first or up to approximately 23 months
To evaluate the efficacy of Tislelizumab + cisplatin or carboplatin + etoposide and radiotherapy in the intent to treat (ITT) Analysis Set as measured by investigator assessed progression free survival (PFS) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Baseline until PD or death, whichever occurs first or up to approximately 23 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Baseline until partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), whichever occurs or up to approximately 23 months
Duration Of Response (DOR)
Time Frame: Baseline until partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), whichever occurs first, or up to approximately 23 months
