A Clinical Study of Gocatamig (MK-6070) and Infinatamab Deruxtecan (MK-2400) in People With Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-6070-003)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). ES-SCLC is a type of lung cancer that has spread throughout the lung, to the other lung, or to other parts of the body. A standard (usual) treatment for ES-SCLC uses both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. * Chemotherapy is a treatment that works to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. * Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Gocatamig and I-DXd (short for ifinatamab deruxtecan) are study medicines. Researchers want to know if giving gocatamig and I-DXd together can treat ES-SCLC. Researchers will also look at giving the study medicines with standard treatment. Gocatamig is a T-cell engager therapy. I-DXd is an antibody drug conjugate. * T-cell engager therapy is a certain type of immunotherapy that uses T-cells to find and destroy cancer cells. * A T-cell is a type of white blood cell, which are cells that help the body fight infection. * An antibody drug conjugate (ADC) is a treatment that attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of combining gocatamig and I-DXd and if people tolerate them together * If people who receive gocatamig and I-DXd have ES-SCLC respond, which means the cancer gets smaller or goes away

This trial is testing the hypothesis that inhibition of de novo cholesterol synthesis by DSP-0390 when used in combination with atezolizumab in the maintenance therapy of patients with ES-SCLC will be tolerable.

The EASE Study: Randomized Trial of a Novel Approach to Addressing Fear of Progression in Advanced Cancer

Precision oncology has led to a growing population of adults with advanced cancer living increasingly longer lives in the face of profound uncertainty about the future, with over half reporting moderate to high fear of cancer progression (FoP). These fears are associated with anxiety and depression, over-use of healthcare, physical symptom burden, higher treatment regret, fatigue, and, in many studies, poorer quality of life. Moreover, FoP is strongly correlated with cancer-related trauma symptoms-physical hyperarousal, intrusiveness of cancer thoughts/images, and avoidance of cancer-related thoughts and feelings, suggesting overlapping symptoms. While behavioral interventions exist to target fear of recurrence in early-stage cancer survivors, there is a dearth of behavioral interventions to address FoP or cancer-related trauma symptoms in adults with advanced cancer, and no known published randomized trials of such interventions in the United States. In addition, cutting-edge developments for the treatment of trauma in general populations have not been adapted to cancer populations. To address these critical gaps, we adapted a cutting-edge behavioral treatment for trauma to reduce FoP and cancer-related trauma symptoms among adults with advanced cancer. The intervention, titled EASE, is based on written exposure therapy, an efficacious approach for reducing trauma symptoms in general populations that is better accepted and far briefer than other gold-standard approaches. EASE adapts this approach to help advanced cancer patients with elevated FoP and cancer-related trauma symptoms reduce their fear of the future by using written exposure focused on their future worst-case scenario with cancer. Informed by the NIH stage model, we evaluated EASE delivered by telehealth in an open pilot trial for 29 adults with late-stage cancer and elevated FoP and cancer-related trauma symptoms. Pilot findings show strong acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy potential. We now propose to conduct the first randomized trial of EASE, and, thus, first known randomized trial in the United States of a behavioral intervention for FoP and cancer-related trauma symptoms among adults with advanced cancer. This 2-arm trial (N=250) will compare EASE delivered by telehealth with Usual Care (UC). We aim to compare EASE to UC on FoP and cancer-related trauma symptoms (primary outcomes) and anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and quality of life, at post-intervention (Aim 1) and follow-up (Aim 2). We will evaluate mechanisms for EASE relative to UC (Aim 3). Offering EASE in both English and Spanish, and by telehealth, increases access. Simple content increases scalability. Rigorous evaluation of EASE has the potential to provide a paradigm-shifting intervention ready for dissemination and to inform evidence-based care guidelines for distressed adults with advanced cancer.

First Line Pembrolizumab, Plinabulin Plus Etoposide and Platinum (EP) for ES-SCLC

Monoclonal antibodies against programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 have shown efficacy in patients with ES-SCLC in the monotherapy and combination therapy settings. Up to now, Atezolizumab and Durvalumab has been approved for first line treatment for ES-SCLC in China combined with EP or EC. Besides, KEYNOTE-604 study revealed that adding pembrolizumab to standard first-line EP significantly improves PFS in patients with ES-SCLC and is associated with durable responses in a subset of patients. 12-m PFS rate were 13.6% with pembrolizumab plus EP and 3.1% with placebo plus EP. The statistical threshold for declaring significant prolongation of OS was narrowly missed. Considering sicker pts was enrolled and the interim analysis was quite often, even though the investigators narrowly missed the OS endpoint, longer numerical OS data was observed. The latest version of NCCN SCLC guidelines still recommended pembrolizumab as an option for ES-SCLC patients. Plinabulin received breakthrough designation from both US and China FDA for CIN (Chemotherapy Induced Neutropenia) prevention indication. As a "pipeline in a drug," plinabulin is being broadly studied in combination with various immuno-oncology agents that could boost the effects of the PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies and re-sensitize PD-1/PD-L1 antibody resistant patients. In a poster released at 2021 ASCO conference, a phase I trial of Plinabulin in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer: Big Ten Center Research Consortium (BTCRC-LUN17-127) study. Plinabulin in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab was safe and well tolerated with promising efficacy signal of 46% ORR. From above, Pembrolizumab, Plinabulin plus Etoposide and Platinum as First-Line Therapy for ES-SCLC should be a promising combination therapy, as the investigators expect increased efficacy and reduced toxicity with the addition of Plinabulin. In this proof of concept phase II study, the investigators will investigate that the efficacy and safety of Pembrolizumab, Plinabulin plus Etoposide and Platinum as First-Line Therapy for ES-SCLC.

Molecular Analysis and Treatment Options of SCLC

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive disease that is characterized by rapid growth and the early development of metastases. Patients typically respond to initial chemotherapy but quickly experience relapse, resulting in a poor long-term outcome. Therapeutic innovations that substantially improve survival have historically been limited, and reliable, predictive biomarkers are lacking. Ongoing research has advanced the understanding of molecular categories and the immunologic microenvironment of SCLC, which in turn has helped improve disease classification and staging. Considering the role of molecular alterations has not yet fully to be defined in the treatment of SCLC, there is an urgent recognition that molecular alterations in the SCLC are important to predict response and survival for novel therapies and ongoing clinical trials. Advances in research have revealed critical information regarding biologic characteristics of the disease, which may lead to the identification of vulnerabilities and the development of new therapies. Further research focused on identifying biomarkers and evaluating innovative therapies will be paramount to improving treatment outcomes for patients with SCLC. In summary, identification of (genetic) biomarkers in SCLC is increasingly essential to perform molecular diagnostics and individualized treatments. This project aims to create a registry of patients with SCCL to further the characterization of molecular alterations and develop (novel) treatments based on the detection.
