New drug combo aims to fight lung cancer after chemoradiation
NCT ID NCT07091305
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding the drug QL1706 to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. QL1706 is a type of immunotherapy that targets two immune checkpoints to help the body fight cancer. The study will enroll 28 participants and measure how long the cancer stays under control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- QL1706 (a drug that targets two immune checkpoints, PD-1 and CTLA-4)
- 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 a small, early-phase trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug combination can cause serious immune-related side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The patient must be aged between 18 and 75 years (inclusive of boundary values), and both males and females are eligible. 2. Pathologically confirmed LS-SCLC 3. Investigator confirmation of at least one measurable lesion, as defined by RECIST v1.1 4. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 5. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁) \> 1.0 L 6. No clinically significant interstitial lung disease on baseline CT or PET/CT. 7. Adequate organ and bone-marrow function (all tests performed within 7 days prior to first dose; no transfusions, growth factors, albumin, or other corrective therapies within 14 days):Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L, ANC ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L, PLT ≥ 90 × 10⁹/L,Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN, TBIL ≤ 1.5 × ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 3 × ULN, Albumin (ALB) ≥ 25 g/L,INR ≤ 1.5 × ULN, PT and APTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN (subjects on prophylactic anticoagulation must have values within a safe therapeutic range, per investigator) 8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment and agree to use reliable contraception from screening until 3 months after the last dose; male subjects must agree to use effective contraception or have undergone surgical sterilization for the same period. 9. No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy before enrollment. 10. Estimated life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known hypersensitivity to QL1706 or any of its excipients 2. Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or mixed tumor containing an NSCLC component. 3. History of another primary malignancy or previous allogeneic organ transplantation. 4. Surgery (other than diagnostic biopsy) within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug. 5. Active substance abuse (e.g., illicit drug use), chronic alcoholism, AIDS, or known HIV infection. 6. Active autoimmune disease, or history of autoimmune disease likely to recur. Systemic corticosteroid therapy equivalent to \>10 mg/day prednisone (or other immunosuppressive therapies) within 14 days before first dose. 7. Prior therapy with any antibody or agent targeting T-cell co-regulatory proteins (e.g., PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4, TIM-3, LAG-3). 8. Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or history of ILD requiring steroid therapy. History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), or evidence of active pneumonia on screening chest CT. 9. Live vaccine administration within 28 days prior to first study drug dose. Any condition or comorbidity contraindicating chemo- or radiotherapy (e.g., active infection, myocardial infarction within 6 months, symptomatic heart disease including unstable angina, congestive heart failure, uncontrolled arrhythmia, ongoing immunosuppressive therapy). 10. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; women of childbearing potential or men unwilling to use adequate contraception. 11. Known hereditary bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorder. 12. Prior malignancy, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, or in situ carcinoma (e.g., breast, oral, cervical) with expected survival \>3 years. 13. Any other medical, psychiatric, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's judgment, could interfere with trial participation or interpretation of results.
