Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining the immunotherapy drug toripalimab with a specific chemotherapy regimen can shrink tumors in people with advanced small cell lung cancer that has progressed after prior treatments. Participants receive toripalimab plus a rotating schedule of oral and intravenous chemotherapy drugs. The study measures how many patients experience significant tumor shrinkage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
toripalimab, etoposide, carboplatin, temozolomide, anlotinib
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced small cell lung cancer who have already tried other therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants. The treatment may not work for everyone and could cause significant side effects from chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
