Immunotherapy after Chemo-Radiation shows promise for lung cancer
NCT ID NCT07050472
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 45 patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer who received the immunotherapy drug durvalumab after standard chemoradiation. The goal was to see how long patients went without their cancer getting worse. Because this was a small, single-center review, the results are not definitive but provide real-world insight into this treatment approach.
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 results are positive, this could support using durvalumab after standard chemoradiation to help control limited-stage small-cell lung cancer longer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center, retrospective study, not a large controlled trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and the drug can cause immune-related side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged ≥18 at initial diagnosis. 2. Histologically or cytologically documented limited-stage SCLC (Stage I-III SCLC \[T any, N any, M0\] according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual \[AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 9th Edition\] or the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology \[IASLC Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology 2016\]). 3. Received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) as first-line treatment and consolidative durvalumab prior to disease progression or death: * Received 4 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiotherapy. * The chemotherapy regimen must contain carboplatin/cisplatin and etoposide. * Received a total dose of radiation of 60 to 66 Gy over 6 weeks for standard QD radiation schedules, 45 Gy over 3 weeks or a simultaneous integrated boost of 54 Gy over 3 weeks for hyperfractionated BID radiation schedules. * Radiotherapy must have commenced no later than the end of Cycle 2 of chemotherapy. * Received at least 1 dose of durvalumab. The first dose of durvalumab received between 1 Jan 2020 and 31 Dec 2023 at Peking University Cancer Hospital. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Mixed SCLC and NSCLC histology. 2. Participated in other interventional clinical trial for the treatment of any cancer during durvalumab therapy.
