About this trial

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has relapsed or is refractory. Gocatamig is a new type of immunotherapy that uses a person's immune system to find and destroy cancer cells. Ifinatamab deruxtecan (also known as I-DXd) is a drug which binds to a specific target on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Durvalumab is a different type of immunotherapy that also destroys cancer cells. Researchers want to know if giving gocatamig, I-DXd, and gocatamig with I-DXd or durvalumab can treat SCLC that did not respond or stopped responding to a prior treatment.

The goals of this study are to learn:

* If gocatamig alone, I-DXd alone, and gocatamig with I-DXd or durvalumab are safe and well tolerated * If people who receive gocatamig alone, I-DXd alone, and gocatamig with I-DXd or durvalumab have their SCLC get smaller or go away

Eligibility criteria

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is 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. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants who experience an AE in the study will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months
2

Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

A DLT is defined as any drug-related adverse event (AE) observed during the DLT evaluation period that meet pre-defined DTL criteria. Toxicities will be graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0, or the American Society for Transplant and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) criteria. The number of participants who experience at least one DLT will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 3 weeks
3

Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

An AE is 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. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants who discontinue the study intervention due to an AE in the study will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months
4

Part 1: 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 the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Part 1, Part 2 (Arm 5, Arm 6, and Arm 8), and Part 3 (Arm 7): Duration of Response (DOR)

For participants who demonstrate a confirmed 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 RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death. 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 at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months
2

Part 1, Part 2 (Arm 6 and Arm 8), and Part 3 (Arm 7): Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization 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 the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months
3

Part 2 (Arm 5, Arm 6, and Arm 8) and Part 3 (Arm 7): 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 the investigator will be presented.

Time frame
Up to approximately 44 months
4

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of gocatamig

Cmax is the maximum concentration of the study drug observed in plasma. Blood samples collected pre dose and at multiple timepoints post dose will be used to determine Cmax of the drug gocatamig.

Time frame
At designated timepoints (up to approximately 44 months)
