Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding immunotherapy or a PARP inhibitor to thoracic radiation therapy is safe and effective in people with ES-SCLC who have responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Small Cell Lung Cancer who've had a positive response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. They must be willing to use effective contraception, have no severe allergies to the study drugs, and not have received certain prior treatments that could affect results. Participants should be in good enough health with proper organ function and an expected lifespan of at least 16 weeks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests thoracic radiation followed by durvalumab alone or combined with tremelimumab or olaparib in patients who responded well to initial chemo. It's randomized, meaning participants are put into groups by chance, and it compares the safety and effectiveness of these treatment combinations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, blood cell count changes which can increase infection risk, liver or kidney function problems due to medication toxicity.

How many participants is the clinical trial recruiting?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov records demonstrate that this medical trial, which was first posted on June 6th 2019, is actively recruiting participants. Approximately 54 individuals must be sourced from a single centre."

Answered by AI

In what cases is Thoracic Radiotherapy typically prescribed?

"Thoracic Radiotherapy is regularly utilized to treat this ailment, and has been discovered to be beneficial for pharmacotherapy, peritoneal cancer, as well as the implementation of advance directives."

Answered by AI

Is there precedent for Thoracic Radiotherapy research in the medical community?

"Presently, 489 Thoracic Radiotherapy trials are underway with 75 Phase 3 clinical studies. Although most of these investigations are in Houston, Texas, there are 2099 other facilities conducting related research."

Answered by AI

Are there any current opportunities to partake in this test?

"Indeed, the clinical trial is open for enrolment. The first posting was on June 6th 2019 and most recently updated September 30th 2022. This research seeks 54 participants from a single medical site."

Answered by AI

Has Thoracic Radiotherapy been given the green light by the Food and Drug Administration?

"Our assessment at Power assigns Thoracic Radiotherapy a score of 1, as there is limited information available on the treatment's efficacy and safety from Phase 1 trials."

Answered by AI

Is this an unprecedented research endeavor?

"Currently, there exist 489 ongoing Thoracic Radiotherapy trials across 1847 cities and 65 countries. This therapy initially debuted in 2005 under an AstraZeneca-sponsored Phase 1 drug approval study which recruited 98 participants. Since then, 184 such studies have been successfully concluded."
