Conditions

Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, Small Cell Lung Cancer

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RO7616789. The study will have 3 parts: Dose Escalation (Parts 1 and 2) and Dose Expansion (Part 3). Participants with advanced stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) will be enrolled in the study.

Interventions

DRUGRO7616789

RO7616789 solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at a dose and per schedule as specified for the respective part.

DRUGTocilizumab

Tocilizumab will be used as rescue therapy, in case of clinical presentation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tocilizumab solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at 8 mg/kg for participants \>/= 30 kg or at 12 mg/kg for participants \< 30 kg.

Inclusion criteria

* Life expectancy at least 12 weeks * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 * Adequate hematologic and end organ function * Negative serum pregnancy test. * Adequate contraception and no or interruption of breastfeeding * Histologically confirmed extensive SCLC or poorly differentiated NEC of any other origin, relapsed after at least 1 systemic therapy * Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 * Confirmed availability of representative archival tumor specimens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks or unstained slides

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 40 days after the final dose of study treatment * Poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus defined as a screening hemoglobin A1c ≥ 8% or a fasting plasma glucose ≥ 160 mg/dL (or 8.8 mmol/L) * QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \> 470 ms.
