ABBV-706 plus standard care for relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer
Official title: A Phase 3 Randomized, Open Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ABBV-706 Versus Standard of Care in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
Run by AbbVie · NCT07365241 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests ABBV-706 to see if it changes disease activity and how safe it is compared with standard care in adults whose small cell lung cancer has returned or progressed.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer who have progressed after prior systemic therapy and are eligible for standard-of-care comparison treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients unlikely to benefit include those with contraindications to SOC options or who do not meet eligibility criteria (e.g., performance status, prior treatment history).

What this trial studies
This phase 3 trial compares intravenous ABBV-706 to the physician's choice of standard-of-care therapies (topotecan, lurbinectedin, or amrubicin) in adults with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer. Up to about 531 participants will be enrolled across numerous sites globally and followed for roughly five years to assess safety, tolerability, and changes in disease activity. Participants receive either ABBV-706 or SOC, with treatment continuing until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other stopping rules. The study aims to determine whether ABBV-706 can provide a favorable balance of benefit and risk compared with the current SOC options. Enrollment includes patients who have previously received platinum-based therapy and other specified treatments, and ECOG performance status will be used to determine eligibility.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ABBV-706 could offer a new option that potentially improves disease control or symptoms for patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research in similar SCLC approaches has shown mixed results; this trial explores a novel agent against standard regimens with prior signals but remains unproven.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of histologically or cytologically confirmed Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). * Participants must have progressed on prior systemic therapy, with CPI (if eligible) and prior tarlatamab, defined as: * In the 1L and 2L setting respectively, platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., carboplatin or cisplatin and etoposide with CPI, if eligible for CPI) and 2L tarlatamab; or * In the 1L and 2L setting, platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., carboplatin and etoposide with atezolizumab and lurbinectedin in combination with atezolizumab maintenance and 2L tarlatamab; or * In the 1L setting, platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., carboplatin or cisplatin and etoposide with CPI if eligible) in combination with tarlatamab in frontline induction and/or maintenance * Participants must be considered suitable to receive SOC comparator (topotecan, lurbinectedin, or amrubicin). * Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 1 during the screening period prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Participants must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Target lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. * Participants with brain metastasis from an extracranial solid tumor are eligible if the brain metastases are: * Previously treated and not requiring anticonvulsants and steroids for at least 7 days prior to first dose of study treatment. If required for management, subjects on a steroid equivalent of prednisone dose of ≤ 10 mg/day are eligible or; * Untreated and asymptomatic not requiring anticonvulsants and steroids for at least 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. If required for management, subjects on a steroid equivalent of prednisone of ≤ 10 mg/day are eligible. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with known active/symptomatic central nervous system metastases. * Participants with a history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that previously required treatment with systemic steroids, or any evidence of active ILD/pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan. * Participants with any clinically significant conditions that would adversely affect the participation in the study, and the subject should have a life expectancy of at least 3 months. * Participants who have received prior treatment with a seizure-related 6 homolog (SEZ6) targeted Antibody drug conjugate (ADC), other targeted ADCs, or any other investigational agent not including tarlatamab in 1L. * Participants who have received prior treatment with any Top1i such as topotecan, irinotecan, belotecan, camptothecin, rubitecan, exatecan or locally approved topoisomerase I inhibitor (Top1i) payload.
