Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with histologically confirmed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not received prior systemic therapy for ES-SCLC and who can provide adequate tumour tissue for central DLL3 testing are eligible.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have already received systemic treatment for extensive-stage disease, who cannot provide suitable tumour tissue for DLL3 testing, or who do not meet the brain metastasis stability criteria are unlikely to benefit from joining this trial.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer are randomly assigned to receive standard treatment (atezolizumab with carboplatin and etoposide) with or without obrixtamig, and all drugs are given by intravenous infusion. The study requires available tumour tissue for central DLL3 testing before randomization and uses a device being developed to measure DLL3 levels. Participants are followed for up to three years with regular site visits and imaging to monitor tumour response and safety. Patients receiving obrixtamig stay overnight after the first two infusions as part of monitoring for early reactions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding obrixtamig could extend survival or improve disease control compared with current standard therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Immunotherapy plus chemotherapy is an established option for ES-SCLC, but DLL3-targeted approaches are relatively new and prior DLL3-directed agents have shown mixed results, so this combination remains investigational.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria :

1. Patients with histologically confirmed Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)
2. Patients without any previous systemic anti-cancer treatment for ES-SCLC. Patients who received previous systemic anti-cancer treatment during limited stage are eligible if the treatment has been completed more than 6 months before the diagnosis of ES-SCLC.
3. Adequate archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue, as specified in the Laboratory Manual, must be available for central laboratory analysis of Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) expression status and other biomarkers. The central laboratory investigational VENTANA DLL3 (SP347) RxDx test result must be available prior to randomisation.
4. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis are eligible if they meet one of the following criteria:

   * Treatment for brain metastases (e.g. whole brain radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, or radiosurgery) completed at least 7 days prior to randomisation and the patient is neurologically stable without the use of glucocorticoids or therapeutic anti-convulsant for at least 7 days prior to randomisation
   * Untreated brain metastases that do not require treatment and the patient is neurologically stable without the use of glucocorticoids or therapeutic anti-convulsant for at least 28 days prior to randomisation
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1
6. Eligible for continuing carboplatin + etoposide + atezolizumab regimen as first-line Standard of care (SoC) treatment within 28 days after the start of the initial cycle of standard therapy
7. Eligible to receive treatment with full dose of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide as first-line SoC treatment, in accordance with the approved Summary of Product Characteristics if provided centrally or approved local product label if provided by the trial site Further inclusion criteria apply.

Exclusion Criteria :

1. Presence of leptomeningeal disease and/or carcinomatous meningitis
2. Previous treatment targeting DLL3 (e.g. T cell engagers (TcEs), cell therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, or radiopharmaceuticals)
3. Radiotherapy of any anatomical site within 7 days prior to randomisation
4. Toxicity from previous treatments that has not resolved to ≤ Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1 or baseline. Patients with alopecia, any grade, CTCAE ≤Grade 2, asthenia/fatigue, amenorrhea/menstrual disorders any grade, CTCAE Grade ≤2 peripheral neuropathy, and/or CTCAE Grade 2 endocrinopathies controlled by replacement therapy, and toxicities, which are considered irreversible but stable for at least 4 weeks prior to randomisation, per investigator judgment may be eligible. Note: Patients who developed toxicity from the cycle of standard therapy received prior to randomisation are eligible if adequate organ function is ensured as described
5. Patient with active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease that requires systemic treatment (e.g. glucocorticoids or immunosuppressive drugs). Patients with vitiligo, resolved childhood asthma/atopy, alopecia, or any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy, patients with autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone and/or controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus on a stable insulin regimen may be included if in the opinion of the investigator it is appropriate and safe to do so.

Further exclusion criteria apply.
