PD-1 Inhibitors Consolidation in Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

The prognosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer is still very poor, even for those who received platinum-based chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy. 2-year survival rate of these patients is only about 10%. Therefore, this study aims to explore a comprehensive treatments with low toxicity to further improve the efficacy for these paitents with PD-1 inhibitor.

The study is a prospective pilot trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD-1 inhibitor consolidation in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer paitents who received standard first-line chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy ± SABR for metastasis disease.

The primary endpoint is the safety and objective response rate of treatment. The secondary objectives are progression free survival(PFS), overall survial. The exploratory end point includes the correlation of PD-1 expression on the tumor tissue, and the TMB, Immune Repertoire sequencing derived from the tumor tissue and the blood sample with the efficacy of treatent. The plan for collection of tumor tissue and blood at baseline at different stages during or after treatment was defined in the protocol.

The PICCARE-trial has been designed by National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, and the hypothesis is PD-1 inhibitor consolidation was safe and effective in the treatment of extensive-stage SCLC after sandard first-line chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
