Summary

"This trial aims to test if a new drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan, when combined with another drug atezolizumab, is safe and effective in treating small cell

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with extensive stage-small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) needing first-line therapy can join. They must have good physical function and adequate organ function, agree to contraception use, and provide consent for biopsies if required. Women must test negative for pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of I-DXd with atezolizumab, plus or minus carboplatin, in new ES-SCLC patients. It aims to assess safety and effectiveness as both initial treatment and ongoing maintenance therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune-related reactions due to atezolizumab, blood count changes from carboplatin, nausea from etoposide, and infusion-related symptoms from I-DXd.

Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2, Part B: Induction + Maintenance (I-DXd 8 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants who are treatment-naive with ES-SCLC will receive 4 cycles of 1L I-DXd induction therapy (8 mg/kg IV Q3W) + atezolizumab (1200 mg IV Q3W) + carboplatin (AUC 5 IV Q3W) followed by maintenance therapy (I-DXd 8 mg/kg IV Q3W) + atezolizumab (1200 mg IV Q3W).
Group II: Cohort 2, Part B: Induction + Maintenance (I-DXd 12 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants who are treatment-naive with ES-SCLC will receive 4 cycles of I-DXd induction therapy (12 mg/kg IV Q3W) + atezolizumab (1200 mg IV Q3W) + carboplatin (AUC 5 IV Q3W) followed by maintenance therapy (I-DXd 12 mg/kg IV Q3W) + atezolizumab (1200 mg IV Q3W).
Group III: Cohort 2, Part A: Induction + Maintenance (I-DXd 8 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Part A (Safety Run-in): Participants who are treatment-naive with ES-SCLC will receive 4 cycles of 1L I-DXd induction therapy (8 mg/kg IV Q3W) + atezolizumab (1200 mg IV Q3W) + carboplatin (AUC 5 IV Q3W) followed by maintenance therapy (I-DXd 8 mg/kg IV Q3W) + atezolizumab (1200 mg IV Q3W).
Group IV: Cohort 2, Part A: Induction + Maintenance (I-DXd 12 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions

Group V: Cohort 1, Part B: SoC Induction + Maintenance (I-DXd 8 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Part B (Dose Optimization): Participants who are treatment naive with ES-SCLC will receive 4 cycles of 1L SoC induction therapy (carboplatin AUC 5 IV Q3W, etoposide 100 mg/m\^2 IV Q3W, and atezolizumab 1200 mg IV Q3W) and only those patients with best overall response of CR, PR, or SD after completion of the induction will be re-randomized to maintenance therapy (I-DXd 8 mg/kg IV Q3W + atezolizumab 1200 mg IV Q3W).
Group VI: Cohort 1, Part B: SoC Induction + Maintenance (I-DXd 12 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions

Group VII: Cohort 1, Part A: Maintenance Only (I-DXd 12 mg/kg)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part A (Safety Run-in): Participants who must have completed 1L induction with 4 cycles of standard of care (SoC) with best overall response of CR, PR, or SD will receive maintenance therapy only (I-DXd 12 mg/kg IV Q3W + atezolizumab 1200 mg IV Q3W). A 5-day surveillance period between each of the first 3 participants (up to a maximum of 9 participants) dosed is included as a safety measure.
