Summary

This trial will test using a combination of quaratusugene ozeplasmid and atezolizumab as ongoing treatment for patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer. The trial

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer who've had a stable heart condition, responded well to initial cancer therapy without severe side effects, and have good physical functioning. They should not have recent major surgeries or active complications from past surgeries. Brain metastases must be treated and stable. Blood counts and organ functions need to be within certain limits.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing quaratusugene ozeplasmid (Reqorsa) combined with atezolizumab as a maintenance treatment after initial success with chemotherapy in ES-SCLC patients. It's done in two parts: first to find the right dose and second to check how safe and effective it is.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions that can affect organs, fatigue, changes in blood tests reflecting liver or kidney function, potential infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, and an increased risk of infections.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will be treated with the RP2D of quaratusugene ozeplasmid (IV administration once every 21 days) plus atezolizumab (1200 mg IV administration once every 21 days) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Group II: Phase 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Up to 2 sequential dose selection cohorts will be treated with quaratusugene ozeplasmid (intravenous (IV) administration once every 21 days) plus atezolizumab (1200 mg IV administration once every 21 days) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quaratusugene ozeplasmid doses will be evaluated (0.09 \[starting dose\], and 0.12 mg/kg) until the RP2D is identified.
