Brief Summary

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

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

Study Groups

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

Arm 1, Parts A and B: Gocataming + I-DXd

Participants who completed standard of care (SOC) induction chemotherapy with concurrent approved anti-programmed cell death 1/ligand 1 protein (anti-PD-1/L1) treatment for ES-SCLC and did not have disease progression per investigator discretion, will receive gocatamig and I-DxD in the maintenance phase, until documented disease progression or meeting other study discontinuation criteria.

Rescue Medications

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will receive rescue medications at the investigator's discretion. Recommended rescue medications include tocilizumab for treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS); dexamethasone, acetaminophen, and diphenhydramine for CRS/infusion-related reaction (IRR) prophylaxis; and 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist, and corticosteroid for prevention of nausea and vomiting.

Arm 2, Parts A and B: Gocataming + I-DXd

Participants who did not receive prior systemic treatment for ES-SCLC will receive gocatamig and I-DxD during induction and maintenance phases, until documented disease progression or meeting other study discontinuation criteria.

Arm 3, Part B: Gocataming + I-DXd → gocatamig + atezolizumab

Participants who did not receive prior systemic treatment for ES-SCLC will receive gocatamig and I-DxD in the induction phase, followed by gocatamig and atezolizumab in the maintenance phase, until documented disease progression or meeting other study discontinuation criteria.

Arm 4, Part B: Carboplatin + etoposide + atezolizumab → atezolizumab

Participants who did not receive prior systemic treatment for ES-SCLC will receive SOC (carboplatin + etoposide + atezolizumab) in the induction phase, followed by atezolizumab in the maintenance phase, until documented disease progression or meeting other study discontinuation criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

* 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:
