Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This randomized, Phase I/III, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 \[PD-L1\] antibody) in combination with carboplatin plus (+) etoposide compared with treatment with placebo + carboplatin + etoposide in chemotherapy-naive participants with ES-SCLC. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either atezolizumab + carboplatin + etoposide or placebo + carboplatin + etoposide on 21-day cycles for four cycles in the induction phase followed by maintenance with atezolizumab or placebo until progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Treatment can be continued until persistent radiographic PD or symptomatic deterioration.

- Atezolizumab + Carboplatin + Etoposide
- description
- Participants received intravenous infusions of atezolizumab 1200 milligrams (mg) in combination with carboplatin to achieve an initial target area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of 5 milligrams per milliliter per minute (mg/mL/min) followed by etoposide 100 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle during the induction phase (Cycles 1-4). On Days 2 and 3 of every 21-day cycle during the induction phase (Cycles 1-4), etoposide 100 mg/m\^2 was administered alone. Thereafter, participants received maintenance (Cycle 5 onward) atezolizumab 1200 mg on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle until persistent radiographic PD, symptomatic deterioration, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or study termination by the Sponsor.
