A Phase 3 Study of Socazolimab for Small Cell Lung Cancer
Overview
This study tested the effectiveness of socazolimab combined with chemotherapy in treating extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). It involved 54 hospitals in China and included 498 adults who had never received treatment for this condition.
Study Details
Participants were randomly assigned to receive either:
- Socazolimab with chemotherapy (carboplatin and etoposide)
- Placebo with chemotherapy
This treatment lasted for four cycles, each lasting 21 days. The study ran from July 15, 2021, to May 12, 2022.
Results
As of October 13, 2023:
- Patients receiving socazolimab had an overall survival of 13.90 months compared to 11.58 months for those on placebo.
- The median progression-free survival for socazolimab was 5.55 months, which is 1.2 months longer than the placebo group.
- Both treatment groups had similar rates of severe side effects (≥ grade 3), with 80.3% in the socazolimab group and 75.7% in the placebo group.
These findings indicate that socazolimab significantly improves overall survival without increasing treatment risks.
