Abstract

Based on improved survival from the addition of PD-L1 inhibitors in phase III trials, the combination of immunotherapy and platinum-doublet chemotherapy has become the new standard treatment for extended-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Furthermore, the antiangiogenetic agent bevacizumab showed a longer progression-free survival by targeting VEGFthat has pleiotropic effects, including immunosuppressive ones. We, therefore, hypothesized that targeting angiogenesis would improve theefficacy of chemoimmunotherapy. The CeLEBrATE trial is an open-label, multicenter, phase II study designed to assess theefficacy and safety of the combination of carboplatin and etoposide plus bevacizumab and atezolizumab in treatment-naive patients with ES-SCLC. The primary endpoint is overall survival rate at 1year, while secondary endpoints include overall response rate, progression-free survival and toxicity.
