Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Overview:
Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ESCLC) is a highly aggressive and rapidly progressing form of lung cancer that often spreads early to distant organs. Accounting for approximately 10–15% of all lung cancer cases, small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is distinct from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is strongly associated with tobacco use. In ESCLC, the disease extends beyond the lung’s hemithorax and regional lymph nodes, commonly affecting the liver, bone marrow, brain, and adrenal glands. Patients usually present with nonspecific symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis. Due to the widespread nature of the disease, systemic symptoms like weight loss, fatigue, and loss of appetite are also frequent. Additionally, paraneoplastic syndromes—immune-mediated disorders triggered by the cancer—may occur, leading to conditions such as SIADH, Cushing’s syndrome, or Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
Chronic tobacco use is the primary risk factor for ESCLC, with a clear correlation between smoking intensity and SCLC risk. The disease arises from rapid, uncontrolled proliferation of neuroendocrine cells in the lungs, resulting in large tumors that invade adjacent tissues and metastasize early. Genetic mutations, particularly in tumor suppressor genes TP53 and RB1, are frequently implicated in the development of this cancer.

Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Emerging Drugs
-
Serplulimab+Chemo: Shanghai Henlius Biotech
Serplulimab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, is being developed in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), and gastric cancer (GC). Its Phase III clinical trials for neoadjuvant/adjuvant gastric cancer and limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) have received fast track designation. Furthermore, global multicenter Phase III studies are ongoing for squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC), ES-SCLC, and LS-SCLC. At present, Serplulimab is in Phase III development specifically for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ESCLC).
-
RYZ101: RayzeBio, Inc.
RYZ101 is an investigational targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy designed to deliver the powerful radioisotope Actinium-225 (Ac225) directly to tumors expressing somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2). It is under clinical evaluation for patients with SSTR-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors who have previously received Lu177-based somatostatin therapies, as well as for those with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ESCLC). RYZ101 is being tested in combination with existing standard treatments and is currently in Phase I development for ESCLC.
