Total body irradiation with immunotherapy for extensive SCLC
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial adds total body irradiation (a low dose of radiation to the whole body) to standard atezolizumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the radiation helps the immunotherapy work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has spread beyond the lung.
- You should be in reasonably good health (up and about, able to care for yourself).
- Your blood counts (white cells, platelets, red cells) need to be within a certain range – your doctor can check these.
- Your liver and kidney function must be mostly normal (simple blood tests will confirm).
- You cannot have had immunotherapy or certain other cancer treatments before, and you must not have an active autoimmune disease or uncontrolled infection.

This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to standard immune therapy (atezolizumab) after initial chemo can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer and control the cancer better. You must have a good response (partial response) or stable disease after initial treatment, plus several lab/imaging checks to confirm safety.
This trial tests whether adding lamivudine to standard chemoimmunotherapy can improve outcomes for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this combination controls the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation for people with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding radiation to leftover tumors after initial treatment helps control the disease better.
This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to the chest during maintenance immunotherapy can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer live longer. You may be eligible if you've already had chemotherapy plus immunotherapy and your cancer has shrunk or stayed stable.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), chemotherapy, and then radiation to the chest for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who haven't had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer longer.
This trial tests a low dose of radiation to the chest followed by a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) and chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Afterward, you would continue taking adebrelimab alone as maintenance therapy.
