A Study to Evaluate Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity of Intravenous ABBV-706 Versus Standard of Care in Adult Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer
United States, Belgium, France531 participantsStarted 2026-07-02
Plain-language summary
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive and rapid growth and a tendency to develop early spread to distant sites including mediastinal lymph nodes, liver, bones, adrenal glands, and brain. The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, and change in disease activity of ABBV-706 compared to standard of care (SOC) treatment (topotecan, lurbinectedin, or amrubicin).
ABBV-706 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of SCLC. There are two treatment arms in this study. Participants will either receive ABBV-706 or SOC. Approximately 531 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across 175 sites worldwide.
Participants with SCLC will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-706 or SOC \[topotecan (IV or orally), or lubinectedin (IV), or amrubicin (IV)\]. The estimated duration of the study is approximately 53 months.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires, and scans.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosis of histologically or cytologically confirmed Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).
* Participants must have progressed on prior systemic therapy, with CPI (if eligible) and prior tarlatamab, defined as:
* In the 1L and 2L setting respectively, platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., carboplatin or cisplatin and etoposide with CPI, if eligible for CPI) and 2L tarlatamab; or
* In the 1L and 2L setting, platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., carboplatin and etoposide with atezolizumab and lurbinectedin in combination with atezolizumab maintenance and 2L tarlatamab; or
* In the 1L setting, platinum-based chemotherapy (i.e., carboplatin or cisplatin and etoposide with CPI if eligible) in combination with tarlatamab in frontline induction and/or maintenance
* Participants must be considered suitable to receive SOC comparator (topotecan, lurbinectedin, or amrubicin).
* Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 1 during the screening period prior to the first dose of study treatment.
* Participants must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Target lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
* Participants with brain metastasis from an extracranial solid tumor are eligible if the brain metastases are:
* Previously treated and not requiring anticonv…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
