Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that uses a protein to help the immune system kill cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with ES-SCLC who haven't had chemo for it yet, or those with solid tumors without standard treatment options. Participants must be over 18, have a certain level of physical fitness (ECOG 0-1), and not have specific health issues like interstitial lung disease. They should also agree to use birth control if necessary and provide tissue samples.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests BNT411 alone and combined with Atezolizumab, Carboplatin, and Etoposide in cancer patients. It's the first time this drug—a TLR7 agonist expected to boost immune responses—is being used in humans to find a safe dosage.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from immune therapies such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related symptoms, fatigue, digestive problems, blood disorders, increased risk of infections and possibly others related to the novel nature of BNT411.
