Brief summary

This randomized, Phase I/III, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 \[PD-L1\] antibody) in combination with carboplatin plus (+) etoposide compared with treatment with placebo + carboplatin + etoposide in chemotherapy-naive participants with ES-SCLC. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either atezolizumab + carboplatin + etoposide or placebo + carboplatin + etoposide on 21-day cycles for four cycles in the induction phase followed by maintenance with atezolizumab or placebo until progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Treatment can be continued until persistent radiographic PD or symptomatic deterioration.

Interventions

Atezolizumab intravenous infusion was administered at a dose of 1200 mg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle during the induction phase (Cycles 1-4) and maintenance phase (Cycle 5 onward).

DRUGCarboplatin

Carboplatin intravenous infusion to achieve an initial target AUC of 5 mg/mL/min was administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle during the induction phase (Cycles 1-4).

DRUGEtoposide

Etoposide intravenous infusion was administered at a dose of 100 mg/m\^2 on Days 1, 2, and 3 of each 21-day cycle during the induction phase (Cycles 1-4).

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo intravenous infusion was administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle during the induction phase (Cycles 1-4) and maintenance phase (Cycle 5 onward).

Time to Deterioration (TTD) Per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) Core 30 (C30) and Supplemental Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13) in the Global Population

TTD according to the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13 measures were evaluated in each of the following linearly transformed symptom scores: cough, dyspnea (single item), dyspnea (multi-item subscale), chest pain, or arm/shoulder pain. The linear transformation gives each individual symptom subscale a possible score of 0 to 100. For the symptom to be considered deteriorated, a score increase of ≥10 points above baseline must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial score increase of ≥10 points is followed by death within 3 weeks from the last assessment. A ≥ 10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant.

Time frame: Baseline until deterioration per symptom subscale (up to approximately 23 months)

Population: The ITT population was defined as all randomized participants, regardless of whether the participant received the assigned treatment.
