Dose Level 1
INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1, etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 1-3, atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1, and entinostat 2 mg PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Patients receive atezolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and entinostat PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 13 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 months

Defined as the proportion of patients alive and without disease progression. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Will be estimated with a 90% confidence interval. The Kaplan Meier estimator will be used to estimate survival curves.
