This study is a prospective trial. This study included ES-SCLC patients who response after standard first-line treatment, and aimed to explore the safety and effectiveness of prophylactic cranial irradiation in this treatment modality.~The primary endpoint is progression-free survival in the brain.The secondary endpoints includes OS, PFS. The indicators for evaluating safety are the incidence and severity of adverse events.The exploratory endpoint is the molecular biomarkers for efficacy and toxicity predicting from tumor tissue and peripheral blood TMB.~The trial was designed by the National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. The hypothesis is that preventive brain irradiation is safe and effective in the treatment of extensive SCLC combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
The prognosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer is still very poor, even for those who received chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This experimental study is a real-world research design to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who with first-line chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy.
