Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer | Drug: Serplulimab Drug: carboplatin/cisplatin-etoposide Radiation: Thoracic radiotherapy Drug: Placebo Radiation: Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) | Phase 3 |
Eligible subjects in this study will be randomized to Arm A or Arm B at 1:1 ratio.
Arm A (Serplulimab arm): Serplulimab + chemotherapy(Carboplatin/Cisplatin-Etoposide)+concurrent radiotherapy; Arm B (placebo arm): Placebo + chemotherapy(Carboplatin/Cisplatin-Etoposide)+concurrent radiotherapy; The 4 stratification factors for randomization include: ECOG PS (0 or 1), staging (I/II or III), radiation fraction (bid or qd), and region (Asia or non-Asia).
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 482 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Serplulimab + carboplatin/cisplatin-etoposide + radiotherapy
Participants will receive 4 cycles of standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin/cisplatin-etoposide) plus Serplulimab 300 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W) concurrently with standard thoracic radiotherapy, with maximum 1 year after completion of cCRT or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or other reasons specified in the protocol, whichever occurs first.

Drug: Serplulimab
Serplulimab is an innovative monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1,developed by Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. 300mg Q3W Drug: carboplatin/cisplatin-etoposide Etoposide: 100 mg/m2, IV, on Days 1, 2, and 3 of each cycle. Carboplatin: AUC = 5, IV, on Day 1 of each cycle up to a dose of 750 mg. investigator's choice. Cisplatin: 75mg/m2, IV, on Days 1 of each cycle. investigator's choice. Radiation: Thoracic radiotherapy Standard Thoracic Radiotherapy Radiation: Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) PCI will be strongly recommended for participants who achieve CR or PR after completion of chemoradiation treatment. |
Placebo Comparator: placebo + carboplatin/cisplatin-etoposide + radiotherapy
Participants will receive 4 cycles of standard-of-care chemotherapy (carboplatin/cisplatin-etoposide) plus placebo every 3 weeks (Q3W) concurrently with standard thoracic radiotherapy, with maximum 1 year after completion of cCRT or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or other reasons specified in the protocol, whichever occurs first.
