Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Patients with ES-SCLC who received immunotherapy plus chemotherapy experienced a median OS of 14.9 months vs 11.9 months with chemotherapy alone.

Findings from the phase 1/2 LUPER trial support further assessment of lurbinectedin plus pembrolizumab in relapsed small cell lung cancer.

Phase 3 data support using twice-daily high-dose thoracic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy as an alternative therapy for patients with LS-SCLC.

Multivariate analysis showed consolidative thoracic radiotherapy improved OS/PFS vs control patients with ES-SCLC, with respective HRs of 0.53 and 0.90.

Patient-reported adverse effects associated with tarlatamab appeared to be generally mild in the phase 2 DeLLphi-301 trial.

The safety profile for tarlatamab was consistent with its known profile in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer.

Real-world data may support a new way to consider follow-up treatment for patients who are older with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Investigators will assess the safety, pharmacology, and maximum tolerated dose of ST-001 in relapsed/refractory SCLC as part of a phase 1a/1b trial.

Tislelizumab plus chemotherapy demonstrated superior OS, PFS, ORR, and DOR results compared with placebo plus chemotherapy in first-line ES-SCLC.

Intravenous olvi-vec demonstrated a manageable safety and tolerability profile consistent with previous trials evaluating the investigational agent.

Real-world atezolizumab plus chemotherapy data demonstrated similar efficacy compared with what the phase 3 IMpower133 trial showed.

In patients with small cell lung cancer, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome leads to muscle weakness and can be discovered with no-cost testing such as anti-VGCC antibody testing.

Pooled analysis data support atezolizumab continuation as a viable second-line therapy option in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Following promising results from a trial investigating the effects of 225Ac-SSO110 on Balb/c nude mice injected with the xenograft model of SCLC, IND clearance was granted by the FDA.

Support for the recommendation is based on phase 3 ADRIATIC trial results showing a 27% reduction in the risk of death with durvalumab vs placebo.

A phase 1a/1b trial showed that ZL-1310 elicited an ORR of 74%, all of which were PRs, in patients with SCLC who received prior chemotherapy.

Sacituzumab govitecan showed promising response and survival data in the extensive-stage small cell lung cancer cohort of the phase 2 TROPiCS-03 trial.

Results from the phase 3 ADRIATIC trial led to the approval of durvalumab in limited-stage SCLC.

Promising phase 1 data appear to support further evaluation of ZL-1310 as a treatment for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Offering certain radiotherapy modalities based on disease burden may play a role in the outcomes of those with ES-SCLC, according to James Ninia, MD.

Developers plan to submit a supplemental NDA for this combination as a first-line maintenance therapy for ES-SCLC in the first half of 2025.

Results showed of the phase 3 ADRIATIC study found that treatment with durvalumab elicited similar radiation pneumonitis incidences vs placebo for LS-SCLC.

Data show that twice-daily radiotherapy may confer improved survival vs once-daily radiation in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

BMS-986012 in combination with nivolumab/chemotherapy showed numerical PFS improvements in those with and without brain metastases at baseline.

The magnitude of benefit with durvalumab was particularly consistent within prophylactic cranial irradiation and radiation subgroups in the ADRIATIC trial.

Supporting data for the designation comes from the ARTEMIS-001 trial evaluating preliminary safety and antitumor activity of GSK’227 in solid tumors.

Data from the phase 3 ADRIATIC trial support the supplemental biologics license application for durvalumab in this limited-stage SCLC population.

The overall survival data in the phase 3 KeyVibe-008 trial met the prespecified futility criteria.

The phase 2 DELLphi-301 trial showed durable response rates when tarlatamab was used to treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Treatment with SNB-101 previously demonstrated tolerability among patients with solid tumors in a phase 1 trial.
