Immunotherapy with radiation for advanced small-cell lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (cancer that has spread beyond one lung)
- You have at least one tumor that can be measured on scans before starting chemotherapy
- Your blood counts (white cells, platelets, hemoglobin) are within a safe range
- Your liver and kidney function are good enough for study treatment
- You have not had major surgery in the past 2 weeks

This trial looks at whether giving additional targeted radiation to the chest can help people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after they finish standard chemo-immunotherapy. It may help control the cancer in the lung area and prevent it from coming back there.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a special type of radiation given in split sessions for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better.
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation to the chest, immunotherapy (adebrelimab), and chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer better than standard treatments and potentially improve outcomes.
This trial combines radiation therapy with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug to treat limited-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps people live longer and delays the cancer from coming back.
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.
This study follows patients with small cell lung cancer who receive radiation therapy combined with other treatments. Researchers will track how well the treatment works and how patients respond over time to help improve future care.
