Phase III Study of Maintenance Treatment with Lurbinectedin and Atezolizumab vs. Atezolizumab Alone for Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05091567

This clinical trial is comparing two maintenance treatments for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who have already received initial therapy. The study aims to determine if adding lurbinectedin to atezolizumab is more effective than atezolizumab alone.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is testing whether a combination of two drugs, lurbinectedin and atezolizumab, is more effective than atezolizumab alone as a maintenance treatment for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). After completing initial treatment with carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab, patients whose cancer has responded or remained stable will be eligible to participate. They will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of lurbinectedin and atezolizumab or atezolizumab alone to see which approach better controls the cancer.
