New treatment option for Extrapulmonary Small Cell Carcinoma
Official title AGNOSTIC THERAPY IN A PHASE II SINGLE-ARM STUDY IN FIRST-LINE TREATMENT OF DURVALUMAB IN ASSOCIATION WITH CARBOPLATIN OR CISPLATIN AND ETOPOSIDE IN PATIENTS AFFECTED BY EXTENSIVE STAGE - EXTRAPULMONARY SMALL CELL CARCINOMA
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06464068
What this study is testing
What is Durvalumab?
Durvalumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma.
Also referred to as Etoposide, Cisplatin. Carboplatin.
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 phase II, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the activity and safety of durvalumab in combination with carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide in patients with treated ES-EPSCC.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
