Eligibility

Who can join

The film gives the main points. The full list below is copied from the registry; the study team makes the final decision.

  • Age18 Years to no maximum
  • SexAll
  • Healthy volunteersNo

You may be able to join if

  • Diagnosis of histologically or cytologically confirmed extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) requiring treatment with first line therapy.
  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 1 during the screening period prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).
  • Suspected brain metastases at screening should have a computed tomography (CT)/ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain prior to study entry.

You cannot join if

  • Have received any kind of treatment for limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
  • Known active/symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases should be excluded.
  • History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required treatment with systemic steroids, or any evidence of active ILD/pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan should be excluded.
  • Have any clinically significant conditions that would adversely affect the participant's participation in the study, and the subject should have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

anti-SEZ6 antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-706. An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a monoclonal antibody directed against seizure protein 6 homolog (SEZ6) linked to an undisclosed cytotoxic agent, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration of anti-SEZ6 ADC ABBV-706, the monoclonal antibody moiety targets and binds to SEZ6 expressed on tumor cells. Upon binding and internalization, the cytotoxic agent is released and kills SEZ6-expressing tumor cells through an as of yet undisclosed mechanism. SEZ6, overexpressed in certain cancers while minimally expressed in normal tissues, may play a role in cell-cell recognition and in neuronal membrane signaling. NCI Drug Dictionary

atezolizumab. A humanized, Fc optimized, monoclonal antibody directed against the protein ligand PD-L1 (programmed cell death-1 ligand 1; CD274), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Atezolizumab binds to PD-L1, blocking its binding to and activation of its receptor programmed death 1 (PD-1; PDCD1) expressed on activated T cells, which may enhance the T-cell-mediated immune response to neoplasms and reverse T-cell inactivation. In addition, by binding to PD-L1, atezolizumab also prevents binding of this ligand to B7.1 (CD80) expressed on activated T cells, which further enhances the T-cell-mediated immune response. PD-L1 is overexpressed on many human cancer cell types and on various tumor-infiltrating immune cells. PD-L1 binding to PD-1 on T cells suppresses the immune system and results in increased immune evasion. PD-1, a transmembrane protein, is a negative regulator of the immune system that limits the expansion and survival of CD8+ T cells. The Fc region of atezolizumab is modified in such a way that it does not induce either antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). NCI Drug Dictionary
