Study SAKK 15/19 Radiation therapy of lung tumors and maintenance therapy with Durvalumab following treatment with chemotherapy and Durvalumab in patients with advanced small cell lung cancer
Zusammenfassung der Studie
In this study, patients with small cell lung cancer (small cell lung cancer, SCLC), whose disease has already spread, are investigated. It is examined whether radiation of the tumor together with the administration of the drug Durvalumab: - can slow the progression of the disease - and whether this therapy is safe. The active ingredient Durvalumab stimulates the body's immune system to fight tumor cells more effectively, and is therefore called immunotherapy. The additional radiation could enhance this effect. Currently, Durvalumab is approved in Switzerland for the treatment of another form of lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer). This is a national study conducted at several hospitals in Switzerland. It is planned that 46 patients will participate in the study. The study treatment lasts a maximum of two years and three months per participant. In the following two years, participants will be regularly monitored.

Untersuchte Intervention
The study proceeds in four steps:
• Pre-examination: In this phase, examinations are conducted to assess the patient's health status and suitability for the study.
• Induction therapy: Standard chemotherapy with Carboplatin and Etoposide and immunotherapy with Durvalumab (study-specific therapy) for 12 weeks (= 4 cycles). The medications are administered intravenously as an infusion.
• Maintenance therapy: Radiation therapy of the lung tumor and infusion of Durvalumab (study-specific therapies). In the radiation therapy, the tumor in the chest is irradiated in 13 sessions (total duration of radiation therapy: 2.5 - 3 weeks). Durvalumab is administered every 4 weeks as an infusion (duration of Durvalumab therapy: maximum 2 years, i.e. 26 cycles).
• Follow-up: Control appointments and examinations every 8 weeks for two years.

advanced small cell lung cancer
(BASEC)
All individuals suffering from advanced small cell lung cancer can participate. This means that tumor metastases are present and/or that the cancer has already spread in the chest to the point that surgery or radiation with a higher radiation dose as first therapy is not appropriate. Additionally, patients must be over 18 years old and in overall good health. (BASEC)
Ausschlusskriterien
Individuals who have previously received medication for small cell lung cancer (e.g., chemotherapy) or who have been irradiated in the chest area are not allowed to participate. Also excluded are individuals with additional severe illnesses, such as cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases, immunodeficiency, certain autoimmune diseases, or severe skin diseases. (BASEC)

Ein-/Ausschlusskriterien
Inclusion Criteria:
- Written informed consent according to Swiss law and ICH-GCP E6(R2) regulations
before registration and prior to any trial specific procedures
- Histologically or cytologically1 confirmed extensive disease stage IV SCLC (T any, N
any, M1 a/b) or T3-4 due to multiple lung nodules that are too extensive or have

line treatment for the ED-SCLC
