Sacituzumab govitecan with atezolizumab or durvalumab as maintenance for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer

Official title: Phase II Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan With Atezolizumab/Durvalumab as Maintenance Therapy for Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Run by Henry Ford Health System · NCT07339059 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether adding sacituzumab govitecan to ongoing atezolizumab or durvalumab can better control tumors in adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after initial platinum-based chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with extensive-stage SCLC who have not progressed after 4–6 cycles of platinum‑etoposide plus atezolizumab or durvalumab, have ECOG 0–2, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose disease has progressed on restaging scans after chemo‑immunotherapy, those with significant organ dysfunction (for example severe renal impairment), or those with uncontrolled active infections are unlikely to benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 trial gives adults with extensive-stage SCLC sacituzumab govitecan every 21 days together with either atezolizumab or durvalumab as maintenance therapy for up to two years or until the treatment stops working. Effectiveness will be measured by changes in tumor size and the appearance of new tumors on scheduled CT scans and brain MRIs. Participants will have CT scans at six weeks for the first six cycles then every 9–12 weeks and brain MRI every 12 weeks, and may provide optional tissue and blood samples for correlative studies. The goal is to extend the duration of disease control after initial platinum‑etoposide plus immunotherapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this regimen could prolong the period of disease control and potentially extend overall survival for patients who responded to initial chemo‑immunotherapy.

How similar studies have gone: Sacituzumab govitecan combined with immune agents has shown promising activity in breast cancer, while adding atezolizumab or durvalumab to chemotherapy in ES‑SCLC produced only modest survival gains, so this specific combination is promising but not yet proven in SCLC.
