Brief summary

This is a Phase II, single-arm, single-center study evaluating Chidamide combined with a PD-L1 inhibitor, carboplatin, and etoposide as first-line therapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) patients. The primary objective is to assess Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1. Secondary objectives include Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), Overall Survival (OS), and safety. Approximately 36 participants will receive induction therapy (Chidamide + chemotherapy + PD-L1 inhibitor) for 4 cycles, followed by Chidamide maintenance until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Interventions

DRUGChidamide Tablets; PD-L1 Inhibitor (as per chosen drug's prescribing information);Carboplatin; Etoposide

Induction Phase: Chidamide 15 mg orally on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles.PD-L1 inhibitor, carboplatin, and etoposide are administered per their respective prescribing information. Maintenance Phase: Chidamide 20 mg orally twice weekly (at least 3 days apart) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.PD-L1 inhibitor is administered per their respective prescribing information.
