Summary

This trialinvestigates if olaparib & durvalumab, in combination with chemo/radiation, can treat patients with ES-SCLC. PARP inhibitors & immunotherapy may help stop tumor growth, while chemo & radiation kill tumor cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who haven't had treatment yet. They should have at least one lesion visible on a CT scan, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), weigh over 30 kg, and agree to use two effective forms of contraception if sexually active. People can't join if they've used certain medications recently, have uncontrolled heart conditions or other serious health issues, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have allergies to the drugs being tested.
What is being tested?
The PRIO trial is testing how well patients with ES-SCLC respond to a combination of olaparib and durvalumab along with carboplatin and etoposide chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Olaparib inhibits DNA repair in tumor cells while durvalumab helps the immune system attack cancer. The study aims to see if this combo can improve outcomes for these patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea, fatigue, blood count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, potential liver function changes indicated by altered lab tests, allergic reactions to medication components, as well as specific risks associated with immunotherapy such as inflammation of organs.
