Radiologically confirmed progression on or after first-line platinum based chemotherapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) or chemo-radiation including platinumbased chemotherapy for treatment of limited or extensive SCLC. In addition to platinum-based regimen, one line of immunotherapy as monotherapy or in combination in first or in second line setting is allowed.
8. Recovered from the effects of any prior chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy or other anti-neoplastic therapy (recovered to grade 1 or better, with the exception of alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, or ototoxicity).
Hematologic, Biochemical and Organ Function Inclusion Criteria
9. During the Screening period, adequate bone marrow reserves as evidenced by:
a. Absolute neutrophil count > 1,500 cells/μL (1.5 x 109/L) without the use
of hematopoietic growth factors within the immediately preceding 14
days;
b. Platelet count > 100,000 cells/μL (100 x 109/L);

10. Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by:
a. Serum total bilirubin within normal range for the institution
b. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤ 2.5 x upper
limit of normal (ULN) (≤ 5 x ULN is acceptable if liver metastases is
present)

11. Adequate renal function as evidenced by a serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN and
creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min. Actual body weight should be used for
calculating creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault Equation (except for
patients with body mass index > 30 kg/m2 when lean body weight should be used instead):
Serum Creatinine (mg/min)= (140-Age (years)×(Weight(kg)) ×Sex
72× Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
where Sex = 1 for males and 0.85 for females.
12. Electrocardiogram without any clinically significant findings at screening, as per investigator’s assessment.

b. Prior radiation for CNS metastatic disease is allowed if completed ≥2 weeks prior to enrollment
c. CNS metastases that are stable or have decreased according to the post radiation follow up scan that is conducted at least 4 weeks after completion of radiation treatment for CNS lesion.
d. Patients have discontinued corticosteroids or are on stable low-dose steroids (prednisone or equivalent 10 mg daily or less) for at least 1 week after completion of radiation for CNS lesion prior to enrollment. |

| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
General Exclusion Criteria
1. Any medical or social condition deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient’s ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of the results
2. Pregnant or breast feeding; females of child-bearing potential must test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment based on a serum pregnancy test. Females of childbearing potential are defined as fertile, following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. Postmenopausal
women are defined as those that have an absence of menstruation for at least 2 years. If necessary, follicle stimulating hormone results >50 IU/L at screening are confirmatory in the absence of a clear postmenopausal history. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and
bilateral oophorectomy.
Male patients must agree to use condoms during the study and for 4 months following the last dose of study drug. Female patients of reproductive potential must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control, during the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug.
Disease Specific Exclusion Criteria

d. More than one line of prior immunotherapy
e. Any other additional regimen of prior cytotoxic chemotherapy, not described above.
