Recruiting PHASE2 Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma

New treatment option for Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Official title Phase II Trial: Low-Dose Radiation + SBRT + Sintilimab + Chemotherapy vs. Sintilimab + Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Squamous Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06121505

What this study is testing

What is chemotherapy?

chemotherapy is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Also referred to as standard platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase II clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiation therapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor (sintilimab) and standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy versus PD-1 inhibitor (sintilimab) combined with standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous cell lung cancer. There will be 57 subjects in the experimental group and 57 subjects in the control group, with a total of 114 subjects.
