Atezolizumab and chemo again for relapsed small cell lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of a second course of chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if re-using these treatments together can help control the cancer again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has come back after first treatment.
- Your first treatment included chemotherapy (platinum plus etoposide) and an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab or durvalumab).
- Your cancer worsened at least 60 days after finishing chemotherapy, not during or right after.
- You have not had more than one type of treatment for this cancer.
- You are generally well enough to be up and about (ECOG performance status 0, 1, or 2).
- You have acceptable kidney, liver, and blood counts, and no active serious infections.

This study tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy followed by targeted chest radiation as the first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding radiation after chemo-immunotherapy works better than standard treatment alone.
This study tests a combination of three treatments for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has worsened after initial chemotherapy: an experimental pill, focused radiation (SBRT), and an immunotherapy drug. The goal is to see if this triple therapy can help the immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab and tafolecimab) plus standard chemotherapy as a first treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding these drugs helps people live longer and have better outcomes.
This trial tests immunotherapy drugs for extensive stage small cell lung cancer that has progressed after initial (first-line) chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have finished standard treatment and your cancer has worsened.
This trial tests two immunotherapy drugs (sacituzumab govitecan with atezolizumab or durvalumab) as ongoing treatment to keep extensive-stage small cell lung cancer from progressing. It is for people who have already completed initial chemotherapy and immunotherapy without their cancer getting worse.
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.
