About this study

Official title: Continued PD-L1 Inhibition With Atezolizumab With Rechallenge Chemotherapy in Patients With Sensitive Relapse SCLC Progressing on First-line Platinum-etoposide Chemotherapy and a PD-L1 Inhibitor: CARRY-ON Study-GOIRC-01-2023

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combination of atezolizumab and standard chemotherapy works to treat sensitive Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, progressing after first-line of treatment.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more
  • Does combination of atezolizumab and standard chemotherapy increase overall survival?
  • What medical problems do participants have when taking combination of atezolizumab and standard chemotherapy?

Participants will:

  • take atezolizumab and standard chemotherapy every 3 weeks for 4 cycles and than atezolizumab every 3 weeks up to 18 cycles.
  • visit the clinic once every 3 weeks for checkups and tests
  • perform Radiological assessments after 6 weeks and then every 12 weeks to determine response to treatment.
Read the detailed description

The CARRY-ON study is a multicenter, prospective, open-label single-arm phase II trial, designed to seek for a signal of efficacy of continuing PD-L1 inhibition in patients with sensitive relapse ES-SCLC by adding atezolizumab to rechallenge carboplatin-etoposide chemotherapy. The trial is planned to enroll 142 patients with sensitive relapse ES-SCLC from 25 Italian centers. Sensitive relapse is defined as SCLC relapsed or progressed to first-line chemo-immunotherapy with PD-L1 inhibition (with either atezolizumab or durvalumab) at least 60 days after the last chemotherapy administration. Eligible patients will receive re-challenge chemotherapy (either carboplatin AUC 4 on day 1 plus etoposide 80 mg/m2 days 1-3 or carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1 plus etoposide 100 mg/m2 days 1-3, at investigator's choice) plus atezolizumab 1200 mg flat dosing on day 1 every 3 weeks until PD, unacceptable toxicity or to a maximum of 4 cycles (induction phase) followed by atezolizumab 1200 mg flat dosing every 3 weeks (maintenance phase) until completion of 1 year of maintenance (up to 18 cycles), progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or loss of clinical benefit (investigator's choice), whichever occur first.

Subjects will attend clinical visits at regular intervals to receive trial treatment and for efficacy and safety assessments. All subjects will be monitored continuously for any AE while on study treatment.

Radiological assessment will be performed by computed tomography (CT) scan at week 6 (± 7 days), at week 12 (± 7 days) and every 12 weeks (± 7 days) thereafter.

The duration of the study is expected to be a maximum of 45 months. The study recruitment period is expected to be approximately 24 months, maximum treatment duration will be 15 months (3 months of induction and 12 months of maintenance), and subsequent survival follow-up will be a maximum of 6 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. overall survival

    overall survival (OS), defined as the time from the date of registration to the date of death from any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis are censored at the last time they are known to be alive.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. frequency of adverse events

    Toxicity will be assessed in the mITT population. Descriptive tables will be produced which provide the worst degree of toxicity measured over all cycles according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0

    Measured: 30 days post last dose of study drug

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) defined as the time from the patient registration to the evidence of progressive disease, or death, or the last date the patient was known to be progression-free and alive.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

  3. Objective response rate

    Objective response rate (ORR) is calculated as the sum of RECIST v1.1-defined CR and PR out of the number of assessable patients with measurable disease at baseline.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Atezolizumab, Carboplatin and Etoposide in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC), run by Gruppo Oncologico Italiano di Ricerca Clinica at 25 sites in Italy.

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 27 inclusion and 27 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in Italy. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Andrea Ardizzoni, MD (0039-051-2142206, andrea.ardizzoni@aosp-bo.itt), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06663098, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 13 Mar 2025.
