Triple-Drug cocktail takes aim at rare, aggressive cancers

NCT ID NCT07510594

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three drugs—benmelstobart (an immunotherapy), anlotinib (a targeted therapy), and standard chemotherapy—as a first treatment for people with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung or similar cancers outside the lung. The study aims to see how many patients' tumors shrink significantly. It will enroll 48 adults who have not had prior treatment for advanced disease.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
benmelstobart (an immunotherapy drug), anlotinib (a targeted therapy), and chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could become a new first-line treatment option for patients with these rare and aggressive cancers, potentially improving tumor shrinkage rates.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase (Phase 2) single-center study with only 48 participants. The combination may cause significant side effects, and results may not apply to broader populations.
