Open-label, single-arm, prospective multicenter phase II clinical trial to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy with durvalumab concomitant with radiochemotherapy, followed by durvalumab maintenance therapy in combination with stereotactic radiotherapy in extensive stage SCLC
This is an open-label, prospective, multi-center single-arm phase II trial. Patients with oligometastatic extensive stage SCLC will be enrolled in the trial. In this trial oligometastatic disease is defined as up to five tumor lesions, whereas the primary tumor including mediastinal lymph node metastases counts as one tumor lesion. The primary tumor including lymph node metastases must be suitable for radiochemotherapy and all distant metastases for stereotactic radiotherapy. Patients must have completed systemic therapy with two cycles of platinum/etoposide/durvalumab and have stable disease or partial response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. After study inclusion, patients receive radiochemotherapy with concomitant durvalumab (MEDI4736). Concomitant chemotherapy consists of further two cycles platinum/etoposide q3w (summarized cycle 3-4). Dosing of chemotherapy is etoposide 90mg/m² body surface area (BSA) day 1-3 in combination with cisplatin 75mg/m² BSA on day 1 or carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 5 mg/ml per minute on day 1. Split dose of platinum chemotherapy to 2-3 days is an allowed treatment option. Durvalumab is administered in fixed dose 1500mg in q3w cycles concomitant to chemotherapy and q4w cycles during maintenance treatment. Radiotherapy to the primary tumor including mediastinal lymph node metastases is delivered in single fractions of 1.8Gy once daily up to a cumulative dose of 63.0Gy by intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). In the following, stereotactic radiotherapy is delivered to the up to four further tumor locations during durvalumab maintenance therapy. Sequencing of radiotherapy of the primary tumor and metastases may be changed if radiotherapy of brain, vertebral or other symptomatic metastases is urgently necessary. Stereotactic radiotherapy will be performed according to local standards with established dose and fractionation schemes in ablative doses depending on the affected organ system.

Progression-free survival (PFS) rate
Efficacy of a treatment scheme consisting of thoracic radiotherapy concomitant to platinum/etoposide/durvalumab therapy followed by stereotactic radiotherapy concomitant to durvalumab maintenance to improve the one year PFS rate using investigator assessments according to RECIST 1.1

Started Oct 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2027, 41 months after the start.
Of 151 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, half reached primary completion within 51 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 35 and three quarters within 75. This study's planned 41 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 200 studies reached it within 44 months; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 75.
