Phase 3
Waitlist Available
Research Sponsored by AstraZeneca
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Suitable to receive a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen as 1st line treatment.
No prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines.
Must not have
Active infection including tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis B anc C

Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies

Awards & highlights
Pivotal Trial
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is testing a new combination treatment for small-cell lung cancer as compared to standard chemotherapy.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, are in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1), and haven't had immune therapy before. They should be able to receive platinum-based chemo. Those with brain metastases must be stable without steroids or anti-convulsants for a month.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding durvalumab alone or with tremelimumab to standard platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide) improves outcomes compared to just the chemo. After initial treatment, patients may continue receiving the immunotherapy drugs as maintenance.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, nausea, blood abnormalities like anemia and low white cells increasing infection risk. Specific side effects depend on each patient's reaction.
