About This Trial

To explore the effectiveness and safety of adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy and concurrent SBRT for 3 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery in T1-3N0-1M0 limited-stage SCLC

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Small Cell Lung Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

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 20 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.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Age 18-75 years old; diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) as limited-stage small cell lung cancer (T1-3N0-1M0); All lesions of the patient (including primary lesions, lymph nodes/metastatic lesions assessed as metastases) must be jointly evaluated by surgeons, radiotherapists, and radiologists to be surgically resectable; Subjects must have measurable target lesions (according to RECIST 1.1 standards); ECOG performance status score 0-1; No history of other malignant tumors; No previous anti-tumor treatment such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. related to small cell lung cancer; Patients must have sufficient cardiopulmonary function: FEV1 and DLCO of patients are ≥50% of the predicted value, echocardiography indicates LVEF ≥55%, and no clear signs of heart failure, severe coronary artery stenosis, etc. are found in various tests. Cardiopulmonary function is assessed by surgeons to be able to tolerate surgical treatment; The functional level of each important organ must meet the following requirements: 1. Bone marrow: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5× 109/L, platelet count at least 100 × 109/L, blood count (hemoglobin) at least 9 g/dl; 2. Good coagulation function: defined as international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5 times ULN; 3. Liver: total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal; ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
