Title: A randomized, multi-cohort phase II trial of temozolomide and atezolizumab as second or third line treatment for small cell lung cancer

Principal Investigator: Dwight Owen, MD, of Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus

Description: Researchers are conducting a phase 2 study to evaluate atezolizumab and temozolomide in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that progressed after chemoimmunotherapy.

Patients will receive 1 of 2 dosing regimens. In cohort 1, patients will receive atezolizumab intravenously over 30-60 minutes on day 1 and temozolomide orally once daily on days 1-5 of each 28-day cycle. 

In cohort 2, patients will receive atezolizumab intravenously over 30-60 minutes on day 1. They will also receive temozolomide orally once daily on days 1-14 of cycle 1, and then on days 1-21 of subsequent cycles. 

The primary outcome is the investigator-assessed objective response rate. Secondary outcomes include treatment-related adverse events, progression-free survival, intracranial progression-free survival, and overall survival.

To be eligible for this study, patients must be 18 years of age or older. They must have ES-SCLC that has progressed or recurred after platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Patients must not have received more than 2 prior lines of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. For a complete list of eligibility criteria, please see the reference.
