Omitting CTV for primary tumor in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether treating the main tumor alone, without the nearby lymph nodes, can work as well in limited-stage small cell lung cancer after initial chemotherapy. You may qualify if you have not had disease progression after 2-4 cycles of standard chemo and meet other health criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (stage IA to IIIC) that hasn't spread within the lung
- Aged 18-75 and in good physical shape (KPS score 80+ and weight loss under 10% in last 6 months)
- Completed 2-4 cycles of etoposide with either carboplatin or cisplatin without the cancer getting worse
- Adequate blood counts, kidney function, and liver function as judged by standard tests
- No other recent cancer or serious heart, lung, or mental health conditions

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study is testing a new combination treatment for early-stage small-cell lung cancer. It compares giving immunotherapy drugs (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) along with chemotherapy before surgery versus chemotherapy alone, to see if the combination helps shrink tumors more effectively and improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab) with standard chemotherapy (and sometimes radiation) for people with small cell lung cancer that has spread to only a few spots in the body. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps control the cancer better than chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a combination of benmelstobart (an immunotherapy drug), anlotinib (a targeted therapy that blocks blood vessel growth), chemotherapy, and chest radiation for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (cancer that has spread beyond one lung). The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors and control the disease better than standard care.
This trial tests a combination of two experimental immunotherapy drugs (ivonescimab and cadonilimab) with standard chemotherapy for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than chemo alone.
This trial is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors responded well to initial chemo-immunotherapy. Instead of giving full chest radiation, doctors will only target the main tumor to see if it can prevent regrowth with fewer side effects.
