Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not yet had cancer drug treatment for it. It compares standard treatment with and without obrixtamig.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, confirmed by tissue examination. Brain metastases without symptoms can be allowed if they meet certain conditions.
Earlier treatment
No earlier drug treatment for extensive-stage disease. Treatment given earlier for limited-stage disease is allowed if it ended more than 6 months before the extensive-stage diagnosis. No earlier treatment aimed at DLL3.
Biomarker or test result
Stored tumour tissue must be available to test DLL3 and other markers. The DLL3 test result must be ready before randomisation.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Cancer spread to the membranes around the brain or spinal cord (leptomeningeal disease or carcinomatous meningitis)
  • Earlier treatment aimed at DLL3
  • Radiotherapy to any body area within 7 days before randomisation
  • Side effects of earlier treatment that have not eased to CTCAE Grade 1 or baseline, with some exceptions
  • Active autoimmune disease needing systemic treatment, with some exceptions

The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 12 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Patients with histologically confirmed Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1
  • 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
  • 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

Who cannot take part

  • Previous treatment targeting DLL3 (e.g. T cell engagers (TcEs), cell therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, or radiopharmaceuticals)
  • Radiotherapy of any anatomical site within 7 days prior to randomisation
  • 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
  • Presence of leptomeningeal disease and/or carcinomatous meningitis
  • 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

Check if you might fit

Answer for yourself. This is not a decision: only the study team can say whether you can take part.

  • Which best describes your lung cancer?
  • Has the cancer spread to other parts of the body, or is it too advanced to be removed by surgery?
  • Has your cancer spread to the brain?
  • Has your cancer spread to the lining around the brain or spinal cord?

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This study is open to adults with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The purpose of this study is to find out if a study medicine called obrixtamig plus standard treatment (atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide) improves survival when compared to standard treatment alone. Obrixtamig is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Another purpose of the study is to test a medical device being developed to measure levels of the tumour marker DLL3.

Read full original descriptionShow less

Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group receives obrixtamig and standard treatment. The other group receives standard treatment without obrixtamig. All treatments are given as infusions into a vein.

Participants are in the study for up to 3 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. Participants in the group receiving obrixtamig stay overnight at the study site following the first 2 obrixtamig treatments. At the visits, doctors check the size of the tumour(s). The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • obrixtamig + atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide treatment armTreatment being tested

    Treatment: obrixtamig, atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide

  • atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide control armTreatment being tested

    Treatment: atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
