About this trial
In this study researchers are testing Risvutatug rezetecan also known as (Ris-Rez) a new medicine that targets specific proteins (B7-H3) on cancer cells, thereby reducing the cancer's ability to grow and spread. This study specifically aims to evaluate how well Ris-Rez works in treating relapsed SCLC compared to standard treatment topotecan, by checking whether Ris-Rez makes cancers smaller or disappear completely and if it helps participants live longer. The study is also assessing whether Ris-Rez is safe and tolerated well by participants compared to topotecan and provide a better understanding of the main side effects of both drugs. Participants with relapsed SCLC will be randomly divided into two groups: one group receiving Ris-Rez and the other receiving topotecan.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults >18 or the minimum legal adult age at the time the informed consent form is signed
Has histologically or cytologically confirmed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
Has received 1 prior platinum-based systemic therapy with a PD- (L)1 inhibitor for at least 2 cycles of therapy and a chemotherapy free-interval of >30 days, with documented progression. Participants with prior tarlatamab treatment in either the first- or second-line ES-SCLC setting are eligible.
Has at least 1 target lesion per RECIST 1.1, as determined by the investigator.
Disqualifiers
Pathological diagnosis of complex SCLC or transformed SCLC.
Limited stage small cell lung cancer at diagnosis
Has received any prior therapy with an Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) with a Topoisomerase-1 (TOPO1)-inhibitor payload or treatments targeting B7-H3.
Has known sensitivity to study intervention components or excipients or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, contraindicates participation in the study.
