Evaluate BL-M14D1 Plus Atezolizumab vs Standard of Care in First-Line Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

May 28, 2026 updated by: SystImmune Inc.

A Phase 3 Open-Label, Randomized Controlled Trial of BL-M14D1 and Atezolizumab vs. Standard-of-Care Therapy in Patients With First-Line Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-M14D1 in combination with Atezolizumab compared to Standard-of-Care Therapy in adult participants with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a Global Phase 3, open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-M14D1 in combination with atezolizumab compared with standard-of-care therapy in adult participants with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Standard-of-care therapy consists of carboplatin plus etoposide chemotherapy and atezolizumab, followed by maintenance treatment with atezolizumab with or without lurbinectedin.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A
BL-M14D1: Administered on days 1 of every 21 days Atezolizumab: Administered dose on days 1 of every 21 days
BL-M14D1 administered in combination with atezolizumab. BL-M14D1 will be given intravenously at the protocol-specified dose and schedule. Atezolizumab will be administered intravenously according to the approved dosing regimen.
Other Names:
  • Atezolizumab
  • BL-M14D1
Experimental: Arm B
BL-M14D1: Administered on days 1 of every 21 days Atezolizumab: Administered dose on days 1 of every 21 days
BL-M14D1 administered in combination with atezolizumab. BL-M14D1 will be given intravenously at the protocol-specified dose and schedule. Atezolizumab will be administered intravenously according to the approved dosing regimen.
Other Names:
  • Atezolizumab
  • BL-M14D1
Active Comparator: Arm C

Medications used in the Control Arm should be administered per local label or institutional guidelines.

Induction therapy (4 cycles):

Carboplatin (AUC of 5 mg/mL*min IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle Etoposide (100 mg/m2 IV) on Days 1 through 3 of each 21-day cycle Atezolizumab (1200 mg) IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle

Maintenance therapy (continues until discontinuation criteria are met):

Atezolizumab (1200 mg) IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle Lurbinectedin (3.2 mg/m2) IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (to be added only if approved in region and as per PI discretion)

Carboplatin and etoposide will be administered intravenously in combination with atezolizumab for induction therapy, followed by maintenance treatment with atezolizumab with or without lurbinectedin per protocol.
Other Names:
  • Carboplatin
  • Etoposide
  • Atezolizumab
  • Lurbinectedin
