Iadademstat and Atezolizumab with SBRT for the Treatment of Persistent, Recurrent, or Progressive Extensive Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Inclusion Criteria

• Signed informed consent form
• Ability to comply with protocol, in the treating investigator’s judgment
• Age 18 years or older
• Participant must have a body weight of at least 50 Kg
• Histologically documented extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) previously treated with at least one regimen, including a platinum containing chemotherapy regimen, with progression of disease on or after their most recent therapy or achieving only stable disease (SD) after completion of one line of a platinum containing chemotherapy-based regimen. * Participants previously diagnosed with limited stage SCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiation with a platinum doublet now diagnosed with recurrent extensive disease in the relapsed setting are eligible
• Prior treatment with immune checkpoint blockade therapies, including anti-CTLA-4, anti−PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies is allowed
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2
• At least one identified tumor lesion to be treated with SBRT
• At least one additional tumor lesion, separate from the site of SBRT, preferably outside of the 5Gy isodose line, amenable to incisional, excisional, core or forceps (transbronchial) biopsy. Participants must be willing to undergo tumor biopsies before starting trial therapy and 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) after the completion of SBRT. * If the initial biopsy is excisional, the excised tumor cannot be counted as a biopsy target lesion and there must be another lesion amenable to incisional, excisional, core or forceps biopsy. In this scenario, the second biopsy can only be excisional if the lesion to be excised is not a target lesion. * Cytology tumor specimens (e.g., from fine-needle biopsies, or drainage of pleural/pericardial or ascites fluid) are not acceptable. Biopsies of bone lesions that do not have a soft tissue component are also not acceptable (i.e., decalcified tumor samples are not acceptable). Non-lymph node sites will be biopsied preferentially. * If enrolled with stable, but not progressive, disease at the completion of first line platinum-based therapy regimen, participants may undergo biopsy of the same site that is to be irradiated. If a separate site is identified for biopsy, it should be preferentially biopsied over the site that is to be irradiated
• Participants must agree to submit blood samples for exploratory biomarker research at the times identified in the study calendar
• Measurable disease, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors RECIST version (v) 1.1. Previously irradiated lesions can be counted as target lesions if clearly progressing after radiation
• Participants may have asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases or treated CNS metastases if they are not currently receiving corticosteroids equal to or greater than prednisone 10 mg daily or equivalent for seven days prior to the first dose of study drug. Participants should have completed stereotactic radiation at least 7 days or whole brain radiation at least 2 weeks prior to cycle 1, day 1. * Participants with new asymptomatic CNS metastases detected on their screening scan will undergo repeat CNS imaging at four weeks to ensure safety. * Participants must have no history of intracranial hemorrhage or spinal cord hemorrhage from CNS disease. * Metastases are limited to the cerebellum and supratentorial region (i.e. no metastases to the midbrain, pons, medulla or spinal cord)
• Prior palliative radiotherapy must have been completed at least 1 week before the first dose of the study drug
• Anticonvulsants are allowed
• Participants must adhere to the following reproductive and contraceptive requirements while on study treatment and for at least five months after the last dose of the study drugs * General Requirements: ** Participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. ** Participants must not donate gametes (i.e., eggs or sperm) or freeze gametes for future use related to assisted reproduction during the course of this study and for at least five months after receiving the last dose of the study drugs * For participants of childbearing potential: ** A participant of childbearing potential is defined as an individual who is premenopausal and capable of becoming pregnant. This includes individuals using contraception, those who are sexually inactive, and those with partners who have undergone a vasectomy. A participant is considered of childbearing potential if they have reached menarche, have not yet met the criteria for postmenopause (defined as more than 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea without any other medical cause), and have not undergone surgical sterilization (such as hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy). ** A negative highly sensitive serum pregnancy test must obtained within 14 days before start of treatment. A urine pregnancy test must be obtained within 72 hours of starting therapy; if a urine pregnancy test result is positive, it must be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test. ** Participants must practice at least one highly effective method of contraception * For partners of participants: ** If the participant's partner is of childbearing potential, the partner must also practice a highly effective method of contraception while the participant is on study treatment and for at least five months after the last dose of the study drugs, unless the participant is vasectomized. * Highly effective methods of contraception include: ** Combined hormonal contraception (estrogen and progestogen) that inhibits ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal). ** Progestogen-only hormonal contraception that inhibits ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable). ** Intrauterine device (IUD). ** Intrauterine hormone-releasing system. ** Bilateral tubal occlusion. ** Sexual abstinence (the reliability of abstinence must be evaluated concerning the duration of the clinical study and the participant's lifestyle). ** A vasectomized partner (provided the partner is the sole sexual partner of the participant of childbearing potential study participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical confirmation of the surgical success)
