Phase 1b/2 Study of LDRT in Combination With AK104 Plus Chemotherapy as First-line Treatment for ES-SCLC

Phase 1b/2 Study of AK104 (Anti-PD1/CTLA4 Bispecific Antibody) in Combination With Etoposide and Carboplatin Plus Low-dose Radiotherapy (LDRT) for the First-line Treatment of Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) combined with AK104 and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with ES-SCLC.

This trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic strategy that combines to low-dose radiotherapy combination With AK104 plus etoposide and carboplatin/cisplatin.
