Summary

This trial will test whether adding vorolanib to atezolizumab improves how long participants are cancer-free after standard chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
Adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who've had specific initial treatments without disease progression. They must have normal organ and bone marrow function, not be on certain blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, and can't have uncontrolled high blood pressure or recent severe infections. Participants need to agree to use contraception and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding vorolanib to atezolizumab extends the time patients remain cancer-free after standard chemotherapy. Patients will receive this combination as a maintenance therapy, which means it's used after initial treatment to help keep the cancer from coming back.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions related to immune therapies such as fatigue, diarrhea, skin issues, potential liver inflammation, and increased risk of infection. Vorolanib may also cause hypertension and gastrointestinal symptoms.
