A Study of AK112 as Consolidation Treatment for Patients With Limited Stage Small-cell Lung Cancer Who Have Not Progressed Following Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy

Launched by AKESO · Jun 5, 2025

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called AK112 for patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have not shown any signs of worsening after receiving a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The goal is to see if AK112 can help these patients stay healthy longer compared to a placebo, which is an inactive substance that looks like the treatment but has no medical effect. This study is for adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with SCLC and have completed their initial treatment without any disease progression.

To participate, patients must give their consent and meet certain health criteria, such as having a good performance status (meaning they can carry out daily activities), a life expectancy of at least three months, and confirmed limited stage SCLC. They should also have functioning organs and have completed their previous treatments without severe side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either AK112 or the placebo and will be monitored closely during the study. This trial is currently not open for enrollment, but it aims to provide important information about the effectiveness and safety of AK112 for patients with this type of lung cancer.
