View original scientific description
This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of I-DXd with treatment of physician's choice in participants with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Interventions
DRUG
Ifinatamab deruxtecan
12 mg/kg intravenous dose on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle
DRUG
Topotecan
Topotecan will be administered per local standard-of-care (SoC)
DRUG
Amrubicin
Amrubicin will be administered per local SoC
DRUG
Lurbinectedin
Lurbinectedin will be administered per local SoC
Primary outcome measures
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: From the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause, up to approximately 3.7 years
OS is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
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
- Participants must meet all the following criteria to be eligible for randomization into the study:
- Sign and date the informed consent form (ICF) prior to the start of any study-specific qualification procedures.
- Adults greater than or equal to (≥)18 years or the minimum legal adult age (whichever is greater) at the time the ICF is signed.
- Has histologically or cytologically documented extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
- The participant must provide adequate baseline tumor samples with sufficient quantity and quality of tumor tissue content.
- Has received prior therapy with only one prior platinum-based line as systemic therapy for SCLC with at least 2 cycles of therapy and a chemotherapy free-interval \[CTFI\] (duration from stop date of the platinum agent in 1L therapy to radiological PD) of ≥30 days.
- Has at least 1 measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator.
- Has documentation of radiological disease progression on or after the most recent systemic therapy.
- Has ECOG PS of less than or equal to (≤)1 within 7 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1).
- Participants with brain metastasis/leptomeningeal disease are eligible if protocol specified criteria are met.
Exclusion criteria
- Participants who meet any of the following criteria will be disqualified from entering the study:
- Has received prior treatment with orlotamab, enoblituzumab, or other B7 homologue 3 (B7-H3) targeted agents, including I-DXd.
- Prior discontinuation of an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) that consists of an exatecan derivative (eg, trastuzumab deruxtecan) due to treatment-related toxicities.
- Has received any of the comparators used in this study or any topoisomerase I inhibitor.
- Has inadequate washout period before randomization as specified in the protocol.
- Has any of the following conditions within the past 6 months: cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or another arterial thromboembolic event.
- Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular (CV) disease.
- Has clinically significant corneal disease.
- All of the following indicators of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis are excluded:
- Any history of ILD/pneumonitis irrespective of steroid use, except for a history of radiation pneumonitis that did not require steroids.
- Current diagnosis of ILD.
- Clinical or radiographic suspicion of ILD for which the diagnosis of ILD cannot be ruled out. Radiographic findings may include presence of lung parenchymal fibrosis, combined fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE), and/or interstitial lung abnormalities such as reticular opacities, traction bronchiectasis, honeycombing, or extensive ground glass opacities. Screening computed tomography (CT) scans must be submitted for independent central radiology review and results before randomization.
- Has clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses, including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder and potential pulmonary involvement caused by any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disorders, prior pneumonectomy, or requirement for supplemental oxygen.

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.
