NCT ID NCT07055581

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer live longer without their cancer returning. About 100 participants will receive durvalumab plus chemo before radiation, then durvalumab alone for up to two years. The study is currently recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Durvalumab (an immunotherapy drug) combined with chemotherapy (etoposide and cisplatin or carboplatin) and radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option that improves how long people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer live without their cancer getting worse.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase II study with only 100 participants and no comparison group, so results are uncertain. Immunotherapy can cause immune-related side effects like lung inflammation or colitis.
