About This Trial

A study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of α-PD-L1/4-1BB DLL3 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T (BHP01) in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and determine the appropriate CAR-T cell dose. Next, In dose expansion phase, patients were assign two groups with/without bridge radiotherapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Small Cell Lung Cancer Extensive Stage, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 28 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
