Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dose Escalation (Arm A1) (Maintenance only)ExperimentalCohort A1: Participants with ES-SCLC who completed 4-6 cycles of carboplatin and etoposide first-line induction chemotherapy, with or without atezolizumab, were administered continuous maintenance therapy with Venetoclax (400mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 21 and Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1.
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab
Dose Escalation (Arm A2) (Maintenance only)ExperimentalCohort A2: Participants with ES-SCLC who completed 4-6 cycles of carboplatin and etoposide first-line induction chemotherapy, with or without atezolizumab, were to be administered continuous maintenance therapy with Venetoclax (800mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 21 and Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1.
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab
Dose Escalation (Arm A3) (Maintenance only)ExperimentalCohort A3: Participants with ES-SCLC who completed 4-6 cycles of carboplatin and etoposide first-line induction chemotherapy, with or without atezolizumab, were to be administered continuous maintenance therapy with Venetoclax (200mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 21 and Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1. This cohort maybe explored if Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are experienced and adverse events are thought to be potentially mitigated with a lower dose of venetoclax.
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab
Dose Escalation (Arm B1) (Induction + Maintenance)ExperimentalCohort B1: Participants with ES-SCLC were to be administered non-continuous induction therapy with Venetoclax (200mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 7, Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1, Carboplatin (5mg/mL/min) on Day 1 and Etoposide (100mg/m^2) on Days 1-3. Participants who tolerated study treatment without excessive toxicity, and had not undergone disease progression were to be then proceeded to maintenance treatment with venetoclax plus atezolizumab. The venetoclax dose for the maintenance setting in Arm B will be the dose that has been cleared in the maintenance only arm (Arm A) of the study (maintenance RP2D, RP2D-M).
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Etoposide
Dose Escalation (Arm B2) (Induction + Maintenance)ExperimentalCohort B2: Participants with ES-SCLC were to be administered non-continuous induction therapy with Venetoclax (400mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 7, Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1, Carboplatin (5mg/mL/min) on Day 1 and Etoposide (100mg/m^2) on Days 1-3. Participants who tolerated study treatment without excessive toxicity, and had not undergone disease progression were to be then proceeded to maintenance treatment with venetoclax plus atezolizumab. The venetoclax dose for the maintenance setting in Arm B will be the dose that has been cleared in the maintenance only arm (Arm A) of the study (maintenance RP2D, RP2D-M).
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Etoposide
Dose Escalation (Arm B3) (Induction + Maintenance)ExperimentalCohort B3: Participants with ES-SCLC were to be administered non-continuous induction therapy with Venetoclax (800mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 7, Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1, Carboplatin (5mg/mL/min) on Day 1 and Etoposide (100mg/m^2) on Days 1-3. Participants who tolerated study treatment without excessive toxicity, and had not undergone disease progression were to be then proceeded to maintenance treatment with venetoclax plus atezolizumab. The venetoclax dose for the maintenance setting in Arm B will be the dose that has been cleared in the maintenance only arm (Arm A) of the study (maintenance RP2D, RP2D-M).
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Etoposide
Dose Escalation (Arm B4) (Induction + Maintenance)ExperimentalCohort B4: Participants with ES-SCLC were to be administered non-continuous induction therapy with Venetoclax (800mg) once daily (QD) from Day 1 to 14, Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1, Carboplatin (5mg/mL/min) on Day 1 and Etoposide (100mg/m^2) on Days 1-3. Participants who tolerated study treatment without excessive toxicity, and had not undergone disease progression were to be then proceeded to maintenance treatment with venetoclax plus atezolizumab. The venetoclax dose for the maintenance setting in Arm B will be the dose that has been cleared in the maintenance only arm (Arm A) of the study (maintenance RP2D, RP2D-M).
Receives: Drug: Venetoclax; Drug: Atezolizumab; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Etoposide
Dose ExpansionExperimentalIf the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) for Venetoclax during induction is established, then the dose-expansion cohort would continue to test venetoclax in both induction and maintenance. Participants would be administered non-continuous induction therapy with Venetoclax (RP2D-I/induction RP2D), Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1, Carboplatin (5mg/mL/min) on Day 1 and Etoposide (100mg/m^2) on Days 1-3 followed by continuous maintenance therapy with Venetoclax (RP2D-M) and Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1. If significant toxicity and DLTs in induction precluded identification of an RP2D for venetoclax in induction treatment, then the safety and efficacy of venetoclax would only be investigated in dose-expansion in the maintenance setting. Participants would be administered continuous maintenance therapy with Venetoclax (RP2D-M) and Atezolizumab (1200mg) every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Venetoclax, Atezolizumab and Carboplatin in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 5 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 34 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Spain, United States, Denmark, South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Nov 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Baseline up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or until initiation of new systemic anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (up to a maximum of 6.5 weeks).). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2021.
