Purpose

In this Single arm study, histologically or cytologically confirmed ED-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients resistant to or relapsed after standard chemotherapy will be enrolled to investigate the Efficacy and Safety of a Combination of Sintilimab and Metformin. Primary outcome: Objective response rate (ORR), Safety of the combination therapy Secondary outcome: Overall survival (OS), Progression-free survival (PFS), Duration of response(DOR),

Detailed Description

      Exploratory Endpoints:

      The association between the efficacy of the combination treatment and changes in CTC counts
      after administration of the treatment.

      Evaluating the correlation between programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression derived from
      circulating tumor cells (CTC) and tumor tissue cells, and the predictive role of CTC PD-L1
      expression in ED-SCLC.

      The compositional changes in the gut microbiota after administration of the treatment and its
      association with the efficacy of the combination treatment.
