About this trial

This is a single arm, multi-center clinical trial. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and biomarkers of Tafolecimab combined with Sintilimab and Chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Tafolecimab is a recombinant fully humanized monoclonal antibody against proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9), which can reduce low-density lipoprotein-C levels and increase the expression level of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) on tumor cells. Sintilimab is a fully humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1).
