Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) consists 15% of the lung cancer.Because of the high malignancy, poor cell differentiation, and rapid proliferation of SCLC, 65% of the patients were in the extensive stage at their first presentation in the hospital with a very poor prognosis. There were few options of second-line therapies for patients who experienced progress disease during or after the end of first-line platinum-based regimens. Several studies showed that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors had synergistic anti-tumor effects with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) agents, i.e., PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors could restore the anti-tumor effect of the immune system by blocking PD-L1, and anti-VEGF agents could improve the efficacy of the former by blocking the immunosuppressive effect of VEGF and promoting the infiltration of T cells in tumor tissues. Immunotherapy in combination with antiangiogenic therapy may become a trend in the treatment of extensive stage small cell lung cancer(ES-SCLC). The aim of this international multicentre phase Ib/II trial is to evaluate the efficacy-objective response rate according to RECIST criteria and safety-incidence and severity of adverse events.The patients' recruitment timeframe is set at 16 months and approximately 42 patients will be included.
A Phase Ib/II open label,international multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 and CTLA-4 bispecific antibody AK104 in combination with Chiauranib in Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Failed First-line Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Combination with PD1/PDL1 Inhibitors
