i) Total bilirubin level ≥ 2.5 times the ULN;
ii) AST and ALT levels ≥ 2.5 times the ULN or ≥ 5 times the ULN if liver metastases are present.
c) Inadequate renal function defined as calculated creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min based on the standard Cockroft and Gault formula.
d) Sodium (Na) < 130 mmol/l.
4) Prohibited Treatments and/or Therapies
a) Chronic use of immuno-suppressive drugs (ie, corticosteroids used in the management of cancer or non-cancer related illnesses). Use of corticosteroids are allowed if used as premedication for chemotherapy administration or on-study management of an AE.
b) Any immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer.
c) Prior treatment with any inhibitor or agonist of T-cell co-stimulation.
5) Other Exclusion Criteria
a) Prisoners or subjects who are involuntarily incarcerated.
b) Subjects who are compulsorily detained for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (eg, infectious disease) illness. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
All randomized subjects will be evaluated for efficacy analyses. Overall survival will be defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death. For those subjects who have not died, OS will be censored on the last date the subject was known to be alive. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Assuming a monthly accrual rate of 5 subjects per month for the first 3 months, 10 subjects per month for the next 3 months, and 45 subjects per month thereafter, the total accrual will take approximately 30 months. The number of events for the interim and final analyses is expected to occur, respectively, 31.8 and 40.8 months after the first subject is randomized. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary endpoints of this study include irPFS, mWHO PFS, mWHO BORR and DoR, which are based on Tumor Assessments (TA). Clinical care will be predominantly guided by mWHO criteria. irPFS, mWHO PFS, mWHO BORR and DoR will be calculated based on TA data recorded in the eCRF. TAs will be performed per scheduled frequency in each phase until the total SPD (including new lesions) has increased by 25% or more from the nadir. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
For all subjects, contact will be made every 12 weeks upon entry into the Overall Survival Follow-up Phase to evaluate Overall Survival and collect data on the initiation of subsequent therapy for the treatment of SCLC.
The final analysis of OS will be performed after 816 deaths, approximately 40.8 months after the first subject is randomized. Additional survival follow-up may occur after the final OS analysis to further characterize long-term survival for subjects randomized in this study. |
