A Phase 3 interventional study of obrixtamig and atezolizumab in Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC), sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim. Recruiting at 242 sites in 42 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10.
Sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is open to adults with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The purpose of this study is to find out if a study medicine called obrixtamig plus standard treatment (atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide) improves survival when compared to standard treatment alone. Obrixtamig is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Another purpose of the study is to test a medical device being developed to measure levels of the tumour marker DLL3.
Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group receives obrixtamig and standard treatment. The other group receives standard treatment without obrixtamig. All treatments are given as infusions into a vein.
Participants are in the study for up to 3 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. Participants in the group receiving obrixtamig stay overnight at the study site following the first 2 obrixtamig treatments. At the visits, doctors check the size of the tumour(s). The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Further exclusion criteria apply.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.
Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.
The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.
“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Assessments are a composite of the following European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ EORTC) scores: * Dyspnea as measured by EORTC-QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-LC13 * Chest pain as measured by EORTC-QLQ-LC13 * Cough as measured by EORTC-QLQ-LC13 These questionnaires request scores on global health status, functioning, symptoms, as well as single items to assess dyspnoea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhoea and financial difficulties. All scores range from 0 to 100. For scores regarding functioning and global quality of life, higher scores represent better functioning and better quality of life. For scores regarding symptom scales higher scores indicate greater symptom burden.
Time frame: Up to 3 weeks
