Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with stage IV non-small cell or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has spread to the liver, whose cancer got worse or who could not tolerate earlier chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
- Age
- 18 to 75 years
- Sex
- Men and women can join.
- Disease stage
- Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, with liver metastases. At least one liver lesion must be 1 cm (0.4 in) or longer and measurable on imaging. ECOG performance status 0-2. Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- Earlier treatment
- Earlier platinum-based doublet chemotherapy and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor must have failed, because the cancer progressed or the treatment was not tolerated. No earlier liver radiotherapy.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease
- Prior liver radiotherapy or liver transplant, liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, or hepatic encephalopathy
- HIV infection, active hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
- Serious heart disease, or a severe infection in the 4 weeks before the first dose
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or another cancer in the past 5 years

Who can take part
- Aged 18 to 75 years, with an ECOG Performance Status of 0-2
- Histologically confirmed stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, with radiologically confirmed liver metastases (at least one measurable lesion with the longest diameter ≥ 1 cm)
- Prior failure (due to progression or intolerance) to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy
- Adequate liver function reserve (Child-Pugh class A or B, ALT/AST ≤ 5 × ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN)
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
- Normal function of major organs and no severe dysfunction of the hematopoietic, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, or bone marrow systems, or immunodeficiency diseases
- Within one week prior to enrollment, bone marrow and organ function meet the following criteria:Hemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L, neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L, and platelet count ≥ 70 × 10⁹/L. Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN, and endogenous creatinine clearance rate ≥ 55 ml/min.Liver function: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN (if liver metastases are present, total bilirubin ≤ 3 × ULN and transaminases ≤ 5 × ULN are acceptable)
- Voluntarily participates and provides written informed consent
- Good compliance and willingness to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
- Willingness to provide blood and tissue samples for biomarker testing
- Judged by the radiation oncologist to have no contraindications to liver radiotherapy. Patients who agree to receive immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy
- For patients of childbearing potential: agreement to use effective contraception during the study period and for at least 6 months after the last study treatment; negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study entry; and not breastfeeding. Male patients with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose
Who cannot take part
- Presence of any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune diseases (such as interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, myocarditis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism [may be included if controlled with hormone replacement therapy]); prior liver radiotherapy or liver transplantation; history of liver cirrhosis (Fibroscan ≥ F3), portal hypertension, or hepatic encephalopathy
- Severe infection or serious comorbidities within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
- Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, active hepatitis B (HBV DNA ≥ 500 IU/ml), hepatitis C (positive HCV antibody and HCV RNA above the lower limit of detection of the assay), or co-infection with both hepatitis B and C
- Uncontrolled or significant cardiac disease, including: (a) NYHA Class II or higher heart failure; (b) Unstable angina; (c) Myocardial infarction within the past 1 year; (d) Patients with clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention
- Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
- History of other primary malignancies within the past 5 years
- Known allergy to any of the trial drugs or their excipients
- Patients with Child-Pugh class B or C liver insufficiency
- Pregnant or lactating women, or subjects of childbearing potential unwilling to use effective contraception during the study period
- Any other contraindication as determined by the investigator to preclude participation in the study

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This is clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and liver metastases.
The group in the trial
- Radiation therapy combined with immunotherapy and chemotherapy groupTreatment being tested
Liver-directed radiotherapy (low-dose radiation(3Gy\*5d) or low-dose radiation(3Gy\*5d) +stereotactic body radiation therapy (10Gy\*3d) ) followed by immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (Etoposide, Nab-paclitaxel, Irinotecan, or Lurbinectedin) administered systemically every 3 weeks. Immunotherapy is continued as maintenance therapy until disease progression or for up to 24 months.
Treatment: Immunotherapy, Chemotherapy (Etoposide, Nab-paclitaxel, Irinotecan, or Lurbinectedin), low-dose radiation, and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
