ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04699838

This clinical trial is exploring a treatment plan for patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who have not received prior treatment. The study involves initial chemo-immunotherapy followed by maintenance therapy with durvalumab and ceralasertib to estimate how long patients can live without the cancer worsening.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The main goal of this study is to see how long patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) can live without their cancer getting worse when treated with a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, followed by maintenance therapy with durvalumab and ceralasertib. This study is for patients who have not received any previous treatment for their cancer.
