Efficacy and Safety of Standard of Care Plus Durvalumab in Patients With Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (DOLPHIN)

A Phase II Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Cisplatin or Carboplatin / Etoposide and Concomitant Radiotherapy Combined With Durvalumab Followed by Maintenance Therapy With Durvalumab Versus Cisplatin or Carboplatin / Etoposide and Concomitant Radiotherapy in Patients With Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Combination of concomitant Radio-Chemotherapy showed a significant improvement (Takada) of OS and PFS in limited disease SCLC patients. This clinical trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel group phase II investigator initiated trial (ITT) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Durvalumab in combination with Cisplatin/Etoposide/Radiotherapy in patients with limited disease small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Major surgical process within 28 day prior first dose of IMP and/or Radiochemotherapy
  • Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorder (including inflammatory bowel disease \[e.g. colitis or Crohn's disease\], diverticulitis \[with the exception of diverticulosis\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis\], Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.). The following are exceptions to this criterion:
    • Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
    • Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g. following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement
    • Patients with any chronic skin condition that not required systemic therapy
    • Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician
    • Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone
  • Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose.The following are exceptions to this criterion:
    • Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection)
    • Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not exceeding 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent
    • Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication)
  • Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IMP
  • Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational product within the last 30 days (unless during follow-up period of an interventional study)
  • Pregnancy, lactation and contraception
    • Women who are pregnant, nursing or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial
    • Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men who are able to father a child, unwilling to be abstinent or use highly effective methods of birth control that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly beginning at informed consent, for the duration of drug treatment and for the drug out washout period (90 days after last dose of Durvalumab and/or 6 months after last dose of cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide).

Other illness

  • Extensive disease small cell lung cancer (Tx, Nx, M1; stage IV)
  • History of allogenic organ transplantation
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness (i.e. active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, interstitial lung disease, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions (i.e. diarrhea), psychiatric illness)
  • History of another primary malignancy in the last 5 years, except adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer, adequately treated carcinoma in situ (without evidence of disease)
  • History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, or brain metastases
  • Known HIV positive and/or active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and TB testing in line with local practice), hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result), hepatitis C. Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody \[anti-HBc\] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.
  • Known hypersensitivity to one of the ingredients
  • Medical or psychological conditions that would jeopardize an adequate and orderly completion of the trial

Other

  • Patients who are legally institutionalized
