New combo aims to keep advanced lung cancer in check

NCT ID NCT07141264

First seen Jan 09, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether combining the immunotherapy drug adebrelimab with the chemotherapy drug etoposide (as capsules) can help control extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after initial treatment. About 32 adults in China will receive the combination every three weeks until their cancer worsens. The goal is to see if this maintenance therapy extends the time before the disease progresses.
