Sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
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.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.

Duration of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in the Global Population
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline, or unequivocal progression in non-target lesion(s), or the appearance of new lesion(s).
Time frame: Baseline until PD or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 23 months)
Duration of Overall Survival (OS) in the Global Population
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.
Time frame: Baseline until death from any cause (up to approximately 23 months)
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in the Global Population
Objective response (OR) is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
Time frame: Baseline until partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), whichever occurs first (up to approximately 23 months)
Duration of Response (DOR) as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in the Global Population
DOR is defined as the time interval from first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of disease progression as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Time to Deterioration (TTD) Per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) Core 30 (C30) and Supplemental Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13) in the Global Population
TTD according to the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13 measures were evaluated in each of the following linearly transformed symptom scores: cough, dyspnea (single item), dyspnea (multi-item subscale), chest pain, or arm/shoulder pain. The linear transformation gives each individual symptom subscale a possible score of 0 to 100. For the symptom to be considered "deteriorated," a score increase of ≥10 points above baseline must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial score increase of ≥10 points is followed by death within 3 weeks from the last assessment. A ≥ 10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant.
