Who can take part

You may be able to join if

1. 18 years of age or older (or the minimum age of consent in accordance with local regulations) at screening.
2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed T-SCLC. Participant must have had a prior diagnosis of NSCLC with EGFR mutation which transformed to SCLC following the treatment with TKI(s). Patients with transformed SCLC after therapy for NSCLC with mutations other than EGFR will be excluded. Participants with a history of NSCLC without AGAs or squamous histology will also be excluded.
3. Participants have not received systemic therapy for T-SCLC. Participants who received a single cycle of chemotherapy (without immune checkpoint inhibitors) prior to screening for the management of life-threatening T-SCLC (such as superior vena cava syndrome but no cord compression) may be eligible.
4. Have at least one measurable lesion as the target lesion based on RECIST v1.1. Lesions treated after prior local treatment (radiotherapy, ablation, interventional procedures, etc.) are generally not considered as target lesions. If the lesion with prior local treatment is the only target lesion, evidence-based radiology must be provided to demonstrate disease progression (a single bone metastasis or a single central nervous system metastasis should not be considered as a measurable lesion).
5. Have sufficient tumor tissue from the diagnosis of transformed SCLC available, either paraffin block or slides from a core, excisional or fine needle biopsy (FNA cytology samples which have not been prepared as an FFPE block, and biopsies containing bone are not adequate). a) Archival specimen from the most recent biopsy before the start of study intervention. See Central Laboratory Manual for tissue specifications, handling, and shipping instructions. b) If sufficient archival tissue is not available, a new baseline tumor biopsy with adequate tissue is required, unless medically infeasible and with prior notification to the medical monitor. c) In addition to required T-SCLC tissue, submission of archival NSCLC tissue taken prior to diagnosis of T-SCLC is optional but highly encouraged.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1.

You likely can't join if

1. Participants with known active CNS lesions, including brainstem, meningeal, or spinal cord metastases or compression are excluded. Participants with definitively treated brain metastases (surgery and/or radiotherapy) may be enrolled if all of the following are met: • CNS metastases have been clinically stable with no evidence of clinical or radiographic disease progression for ≥14 days after completion of definitive radiotherapy and/or surgery and prior to study intervention. • The participant has not required steroids for brain metastasis symptom management for 7 days prior to first dose of study intervention. Participants with untreated asymptomatic brain metastases of longest diameter <1 cm are permitted if all of the following criteria are met: • absence of neurological symptoms • no need for corticosteroids, and • brain metastasis has no evidence of edema or hemorrhagic features
10. Baseline QTcF interval > 480 msec • If QTcF exceeds 480 msec, the ECG should be repeated twice and the average of the 3 QTcF values should be used to determine the participant’s eligibility. Computer-interpreted ECGs with abnormal findings should be overread by an investigator physician experienced in reading ECGs before excluding participants.
11. Major surgery or severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, or planned major surgery during the study; minor local surgery (excluding peripherally inserted central catheter placement and implantable central venous port placement) within 3 days prior to the first dose. Participants must have recovered adequately from the toxicity or complications from the surgery prior to starting study intervention.
12. Participants with pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites that are clinically symptomatic or require repeated drainage (once a month or more frequently).
13. History of severe bleeding tendency or coagulation dysfunction, such as presence of clinically significant bleeding symptoms within 1 month prior to the first dose, including but not limited to gastrointestinal bleeding, hemoptysis (defined as coughing up or expectorating ≥½ teaspoon of fresh blood or small blood clots or coughing up blood without sputum; participants with blood-streaked sputum are allowed to be enrolled), or epistaxis (excluding minor nosebleeds and blood-tinged nasal discharge).
14. History of esophageal varices, severe ulcers, unhealed wounds, gastrointestinal perforation, abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal obstruction, intra-abdominal abscess, or acute gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months prior to the first dose;
