Brief Summary:
This phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Atezolizumab in addition to standard of care chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in LCNEC.

Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 67 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase II, Single-arm Trial of Atezolizumab/Platinum/Etoposide for the Treatment of Advanced Large-cell Neuroendocrine Cancer of the Lung
Actual Study Start Date : January 18, 2022
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 31, 2028
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 31, 2029


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Atezolizumab/Platinum/Etoposide
Atezolizumab/Platinum/Etoposide Platinum will be cisplatin or carboplatin at the investigators discretion.
Drug: Atezolizumab
Atezolizumab (IMP) will be added to Platinum/Etoposide (Standard-of-Care). Four cycles of combined immunochemotherapy 3qw will be follows by maintenance with atezolizumab monotherapy until progression.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    To assess the efficacy of Atezolizumab in addition to standard of care chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in LCNEC as measured by overall survival.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    According to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by local investigator.

  2. Immune Objective Response Rate (iORR) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    According to iRECIST as assessed by local investigator.

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    According to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by local investigator.

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
  5. Immune Progression Free Survival (iPFS) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
  6. Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
  7. Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate at one year [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
  8. Immune Progression Free Survival (iPFS) rate at one year [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
  9. Overall survival at one year [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
  10. Incidence, intensity, seriousness, relationship to Atezolizumab, and outcome of adverse events graded according to NCI CTCAE (v5.0). [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Secondary efficacy endpoints in defined molecular subtypes (NSCLC-type / SCLC-type) [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
  2. Quality of Life assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30. [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
  3. Quality of Life assessed by EORTC QLQ-LC13. [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
  4. Immune Effectors [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    Changes in cellular and humoral immune effectors in peripheral blood and their correlation with response.

  5. Mutational Landscape [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    Mutational landscape of LCNEC in comparison to SCLC as well as squamous and Adenocarcinoma of the lung. The analysis will be using whole genome sequencing.

  6. Tumor DNA (tDNA) level [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    Dynamics of circulating tumor DNA levels (changes from baseline).

  7. Therapy Resistance [ Time Frame: appr. 72 months ]
    Mechanisms of therapy resistance (changes of immune invasion and mutational landscape in tumor re-biopsy upon progression).

  2. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung (LCNEC) without curative treatment options (patients with mixed histology are eligible if LCNEC is the predominant histology i.e. ≥50%)
  3. Previously untreated with systemic therapy (note: patients relapsing after curative radio chemotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy are eligible if relapse occurs ≥6 months after discontinuation of curative treatment)
  4. Planned treatment with Carboplatin or Cisplatin and Etoposide (SoC)
  5. ECOG performance status: 0-2
  6. age ≥18 years
  7. measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1
