Small Cell Lung Cancer Extensive Stage

Brief summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). ES-SCLC is a type of lung cancer that has spread throughout the lung, to the other lung, or to other parts of the body. A standard (usual) treatment for ES-SCLC uses both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. * Chemotherapy is a treatment that works to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. * Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Gocatamig and I-DXd (short for ifinatamab deruxtecan) are study medicines. Researchers want to know if giving gocatamig and I-DXd together can treat ES-SCLC. Researchers will also look at giving the study medicines with standard treatment. Gocatamig is a T-cell engager therapy. I-DXd is an antibody drug conjugate. * T-cell engager therapy is a certain type of immunotherapy that uses T-cells to find and destroy cancer cells. * A T-cell is a type of white blood cell, which are cells that help the body fight infection. * An antibody drug conjugate (ADC) is a treatment that attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of combining gocatamig and I-DXd and if people tolerate them together * If people who receive gocatamig and I-DXd have ES-SCLC respond, which means the cancer gets smaller or goes away

Detailed description

In Part A, participants will be allocated to Arm 1 or Arm 2 per investigator's discretion. In Part B, participants will be allocated to Arm 1 per investigator's discretion and randomized to Arms 2, 3, and 4.

Inclusion criteria

The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) * For participants receiving gocatamig + ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) in maintenance only: * Completed 3 to 4 cycles of platinum + etoposide chemotherapy with concurrent approved anti-programmed cell death 1/Ligand 1 (anti PD-1/L1) as first line (1L) treatment of ES-SCLC within 6 weeks prior to enrollment * No radiological disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) * No other prior systemic ES-SCLC therapy allowed * Rechallenge therapy counts as an additional line and leads to exclusion * For participants receiving gocatamig + I-DXd in induction and maintenance, or gocatamig + I-DXd in induction followed by gocatamig + atezolizumab in maintenance, or carboplatin + etoposide + atezolizumab in induction followed by atezolizumab in maintenance: No prior systemic ES-SCLC treatment allowed * Applicable to all participants: prior limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is allowed if \> 6 months have passed since the end of previous therapy and progression * Must be able to provide a pretreatment archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core, incisional, or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated * Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if growth has been shown in such lesions since the completion of radiation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 58 monthsAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Up to approximately 21 daysDLT will be defined as any drug-related AE observed during the DLT evaluation period (up to 21 days) that meets the protocol-specified DLT criteria. The number of participants who experience at least one DLT will be presented.
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AEUp to approximately 58 monthsAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who discontinue study intervention due to an AE will be reported.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to approximately 58 monthsORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be presented.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Up to approximately 58 monthsDCR is defined, per RECIST 1.1, as the percentage of participants who have a CR or PR or Stable Disease (SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD). The DCR as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Duration of Response (DOR)Up to approximately 58 monthsFor participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR or PR per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
