Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Part 1: RO7616789 QW: Dose Escalation

Participants will receive a fixed dose of RO7616789 intravenously once weekly (QW) per dose level on Day 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle. In case of toxicity, step-up (single or double) dosing may be explored.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

RO7616789

Intervention Type DRUG

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

Tocilizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

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.

Part 2: RO7616789 Q3W: Dose Escalation

Participants will receive a fixed dose of RO7616789, at a dose determined in Part 1, intravenously once every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. In case of toxicity, step-up (single or double) dosing may be explored.

Part 3: Dose Expansion

Based on emerging data from Part 1 and 2, one or more dosing regimens will be further investigated in Part 3.
