About this trial

The Study is a Phase 3, randomized, three-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-regional clinical research study to evaluate the safety and efficacy use of toripalimab alone or in combination with tifcemalimab as consolidation therapy in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer without disease progression following chemoradiotherapy.

Tifcemalimab is a monoclonal antibody against B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA). Toripalimab is a monoclonal antibody against programmed death protein-1 (PD-1). Neither drug is approved for treatment of This combination regimen is investigational in limited stage-small cell lung cancer in any country.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Male or female with age ≥ 18 years old at the time of informed consent.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed LS-SCLC using the Veteran's Administration Lung Study Arm (VALSG) staging criteria (Appendix 3). Patients with TNM Stage I or II disease per AJCC 8th edition must be medically inoperable (as determined by the Investigator) or the patient must refuse surgery.

Received CRT defined as: (1) 4 cycles of chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin or cisplatin and intravenously administered etoposide; (2) a total radiation dose of 60-66 Gy for the standard once daily (QD) radiotherapy regimen or 45 Gy for the hyperfractionated twice daily (BID) radiotherapy regimen; (3) Patients must begin investigational interventions within 42 days of the last dose of chemotherapy.

Patients must have achieved a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) after receiving curative platinum-based CRT and must not have developed progressive disease (PD) prior to study entry.

Disqualifiers

Mixed SCLC and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Received sequential chemoradiotherapy for LS-SCLC.

Failure to recover from toxicity of prior anticancer therapy to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade ≤ 1 (except alopecia) or levels specified in the inclusion/exclusion criteria, whichever is more severe.

Patients with active autoimmune disease, history of autoimmune disease.
