Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of SCLC.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1.
- Measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1 criteria.
- Documentation of radiological disease progression after 1 prior line of platinum-containing chemotherapy (defined as at least 2 cycles of treatment) with or without therapy directed against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1; PD-1 and PD-L1 are hereafter referred to as PD-(L)1) for ES-SCLC.
- Individuals treated with a platinum-based therapy for prior limited stage small cell lung cancer will be counted as 1 prior line of platinum-containing chemotherapy if the disease has progressed within 30 to 180 days from last dose of platinum treatment.
- If the investigator believes a participant may benefit from platinum rechallenge it can be considered per investigator discretion and local SOC; however, participants with platinum rechallenge may not participate in the study.
- If the investigator believes a participant may benefit from tarlatamab treatment, it can be considered per investigator discretion and local SOC and such participants may participate in the study following tarlatamab treatment. Note: at least 85% of participants included in the study must be pretreated with anti-PD-\[L\]1 therapy. Refer to protocol for country-specific requirements for participants in China. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Chemotherapy-free interval (CTFI) time from the last dose of first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy to the occurrence of progressive disease) \< 30 days (independent of the immunotherapy maintenance).
- Received any prior treatment with irinotecan, topotecan, SG, SN-38, exatecan derivatives, and similar agents targeting topoisomerase I. Received lurbinectedin after progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.
- Have carcinomatous meningitis and/or non-carcinomatous meningitis central nervous system (CNS) metastasis apart from the following noted exceptions. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they have stable CNS disease (ie, without evidence of progression) for at least 4 weeks (independent from completion of definitive treatment) prior to randomization and all neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline, have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are taking ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent. Participants with untreated, clinically stable brain metastases will be allowed if they are asymptomatic and the investigator determines there is no immediate CNS-specific treatment required, there is no surrounding edema, and the brain metastases are of 5 mm or less in size and 3 or fewer lesions. Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
