- A female subject of childbearing potential (POCBP) is eligible to participate if the following conditions are met:
- Subject is not pregnant as confirmed by highly sensitive pregnancy test during Screening (within 3 days prior to enrollment/randomization)
- Subject does not breastfeed during the treatment period and for at least 8/5/6 months after last dose of I-DXd/atezolizumab/carboplatin, respectively.
- Subject agrees to adhere to a contraceptive method that is highly effective and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store eggs during the treatment period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each study drug after the last dose. The length of time required to continue contraception and avoid donating/freezing eggs after last dose for I-DXd/atezolizumab/carboplatin is 8/5/6 months, respectively. Preservation of eggs may be considered prior to first dose of study drug.
- A male subject capable of producing sperm is eligible to participate if he agrees to the following during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each study drug. The length of time required to continue contraception and avoid donating sperm after last dose for I-DXd/atezolizumab/carboplatin is 6/5/6 months, respectively.
- Avoid donating sperm.
- Adhere to either of the contraception methods: true abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse or uses a penile/external condom when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a non-subject of childbearing potential plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method.
- Is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, drug administration plan, laboratory tests, other study procedures, and study restrictions. 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-H3 targeted agents, including I-DXd.
- Prior discontinuation of an ADC that consists of an exatecan derivative (eg, trastuzumab deruxtecan) due to treatment-related toxicities.
- Has received prior treatment with CD137 agonists or ICIs, including anti-cytotoxic T-cell lymphocyte-4, anti-PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies, except for atezolizumab for Cohort 1.
- Has inadequate washout period before enrollment/randomization as specified in the study protocol.
- Has any of the following within the past 6 months: cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or another arterial thromboembolic event.
- Has clinically active brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with steroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms.
- Has clinically significant corneal disease.
- Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease,.
- Has history of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required corticosteroids, current ILD/pneumonitis, or suspected ILD/pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by imaging at Screening.
- Has clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses
- Is on chronic steroid treatment (dose of 10 mg daily or more prednisone equivalent), except for low-dose inhaled steroids (for asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, topical steroids (for mild skin conditions), or intra-articular steroid injections.
- Has history of malignancy other than SCLC within the 5 years prior to randomization/enrollment, except adequately resected non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ disease, superficial gastrointestinal tract tumors, and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer curatively resected by endoscopic surgery.
- Has history of allogeneic bone marrow, stem cell, or solid organ transplant.
- Has unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia) not yet resolved to NCI-CTCAE V5.0, Grade ≤1 or baseline.
- Has history of hypersensitivity to the drug substances, inactive ingredients in the drug product or severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.
- Has evidence of ongoing uncontrolled systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infection.
- Has active or uncontrolled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Has active or uncontrolled hepatitis B or C virus (HBV or HCV) infection.

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.
