Immunotherapy after Chemo-Radiation shows promise for lung cancer
NCT ID NCT07161388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether the immunotherapy drug durvalumab can help people with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer when given after chemoradiation. Researchers will track 200 patients in China to see how long the cancer stays under control and how safe the treatment is. The goal is to understand real-world effectiveness outside of a controlled trial.
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)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that durvalumab helps delay cancer progression after standard chemoradiation for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Side effects of immunotherapy can include inflammation of organs, and the study is still recruiting.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Able to provide informed consent * Age ≥18 years * Histologically or cytologically documented LS-SCLC (Stage I-III SCLC \[T any, N any, M0\] according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual \[AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 8th Edition\], that can be safely treated with definitive radiation doses. Excludes T3-4 due to multiple lung nodules that are too extensive or have tumor/nodal volume that is too large to be encompassed in a tolerable radiation plan) * ECOG PS 0-2 (prior to the first dose of durvalumab after CRT) * No disease progression following cCRT/sCRT (cCRT refers to chemotherapy and radiotherapy are administered with overlap; sCRT refers to chemotherapy and radiotherapy are delivered in a sequential manner with no overlap) * Patients who received platinum-based cCRT/sCRT followed by durvalumab consolidation as first-line treatment at the discretion of physicians are eligible (the time interval from the end of cCRT/sCRT to the first dose of durvalumab consolidation should be within 3 months) * Patients who started durvalumab consolidation ≤3 months before enrolment in the study will be allowed (irrespective of whether they continue to receive durvalumab at time of enrolment or already discontinued treatment) Exclusion Criteria: * Patients treated with CRT only without subsequent durvalumab consolidation * Patients received durvalumab or any other anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibodies along with CRT * Patients who previously were involved, or currently are, or plan to be involved in any other interventional anti-cancer clinical studies for LS-SCLC * Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy including, but not limited to, other anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-PD-L2 antibodies, excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines * Judgment by the investigator that the patient should not participate in the study because the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures
