About this trial
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

Rescue Medications
DrugParticipants will receive rescue medications at the investigator's discretion. Recommended rescue medications include tocilizumab for treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS); dexamethasone, acetaminophen, and diphenhydramine for CRS/infusion-related reaction (IRR) prophylaxis; and 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist, and corticosteroid for prevention of nausea and vomiting.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
DLT will be defined as any drug-related AE observed during the DLT evaluation period (up to 21 days) that meets the protocol-specified DLT criteria. The number of participants who experience at least one DLT will be presented.
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who discontinue study intervention due to an AE will be reported.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) will be presented.
Secondary outcomes
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
DCR is defined, per RECIST 1.1, as the percentage of participants who have a CR or PR or Stable Disease (SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD). The DCR as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Duration of Response (DOR)
For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR or PR per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from randomization (Part B for Arms 2-4) or from the first dose of study treatment (safety run-in Part A and Arm 1 Part B) to the first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by RECIST 1.1. PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment (Part A and Arm 1 Part B) or randomization (Part B for Arms 2-4) to death due to any cause.
