Summary
This trial studies if adding lamivudine to standard treatment can help patients with advanced small cell lung cancer. Lamivudine may prevent cancer cells from becoming resistant, while the standard treatment kills the cells and boosts the immune system.
Who is the study for?
Adults with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who have measurable disease, acceptable organ function, and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. They may have had one cycle of chemoimmunotherapy but no more than one prior line of platinum-based treatment at least a year ago without progression during that treatment. Participants must not be HIV positive or have certain other health conditions.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of adding lamivudine to standard chemoimmunotherapy (carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab) for treating extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if lamivudine can help prevent the tumor from becoming resistant to therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea and diarrhea, blood-related problems including low counts leading to increased infection risk, liver enzyme changes, and potential allergic reactions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (lamivudine, chemoimmunotherapy)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
INDUCTION: Patients receive lamivudine PO QD on days 1-28. Patients also receive carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes and atezolizumab IV on day 1, and etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
MAINTENANCE: Patients receive lamivudine PO QD on days 1-28 and atezolizumab IV on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: Patients who are not eligible for atezolizumab as outlined in exclusion criteria or who refuse to receive atezolizumab may still be treated in this study with carboplatin and etoposide as the IV drug component, in addition to lamivudine orally administered.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- I have a condition that weakens my immune system, such as HIV/AIDS.I haven't had a heart attack or blood clot in the last 6 months, and I don't have severe heart disease.I have not had an autoimmune disorder requiring immunosuppressants in the last 2 years.Your liver enzymes (ALT and AST) are not more than 3 times the upper limit of normal. If you have cancer that has spread to your liver, it's okay if your liver enzymes are not more than 5 times the upper limit of normal.I have had only one round of platinum-based chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer.I do not have any serious infections or uncontrolled conditions, including hepatitis.My lung cancer diagnosis was confirmed through lab tests.My cancer has spread to the lining of my brain and spinal cord.My cancer has spread beyond my lungs.I have small cell lung cancer and have had only one round of chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy.I have irregular heartbeats that are not well-managed.I have brain metastasis causing symptoms.I have had severe heart failure in the last 6 months.I haven't had major surgery or still recovering from one in the last 2 weeks.Your blood platelet count is at least 100 billion per liter.I can carry out all my self-care but cannot work.I am 18 years old or older.Your absolute neutrophil count is at least 1.5 billion per liter.My kidney function tests are within normal range.Your hemoglobin level is at least 9 grams per deciliter.I haven't had chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy in the last 4 weeks, except for allowed treatments.My last treatment with platinum was over a year ago and my small cell lung cancer did not worsen during that treatment.My cancer can be measured and tracked using specific criteria.Your bilirubin levels in your blood need to be within a certain range, unless you have a documented condition called Gilbert's syndrome, in which case slightly higher levels may be acceptable.
