This study aims to establish a safe and well tolerated dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE in combination with carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab in this setting and to assess preliminary efficacy of this combination treatment versus the combination of carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab.The study will be essential to assess a new potential therapeutic option in participants with this aggressive cancer type.
The study for each participant consists of a Screening period, a Treatment period that includes an Induction treatment period and a Maintenance treatment period, and a Follow-up period. The study will consist of a Phase Ib dose escalation with concurrent backfill part and a randomised controlled Phase II part. During the screening period of up to 28 days before starting SCLC treatment, each participant will be assessed for somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression by \[68Ga\]Ga-DOTA-TATE imaging PET/scan. The dose escalation part in this study will be guided by the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate observed during the DLT period. To achieve a more robust dataset and to aid dose decisions, additional participants may be backfilled in each dose level. Upon declaring RD, a 1:1 randomised Phase II with approximately 140 participants with newly diagnosed ES-SCLC will be enrolled and receive either \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE at the RD in combination with carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab (experimental arm) or carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab alone (control arm).

Atezolizumab 1200 mg on Day 1 from Cycle 2 every 3 weeks in induction and maintenance period
2 MBq/kg of body weight (0.054 mCi/kg), with a minimum dose of 100 MBq (2.7 mCi) and maximum dose of 200 MBq (5.4 mCi)
Phase 1b: Frequency of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation
A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications with an onset within the first cycle of initiation of \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE treatment. The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0 will be used for AE grading.

Phase ll: Overall survival (OS)
To assess efficacy of \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-TATE in combination with atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide (experimental arm) versus standard of care consisting of carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab (control arm) in terms of overall survival
Time frame: In the phase II part: From date of randomization until date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years (estimated final Overall Survival (OS) analysis)
Phase lb: Objective Response Rate (ORR) based on Investigator assessment
Objective Response Rate (ORR) defined as the proportion of participants with a best overall confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 by Investigator assessment
Time frame: From date of randomization until date of progression or date of death from any cause, whichever come first, assessed for up to 3 years (estimated final Overall Survival (OS) analysis)
Phase lb: Duration of Response (DOR)
Duration of Response (DOR), calculated as the time from the date of the first documented CR or PR to the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer. Participants continuing without progression or death due to underlying cancer will be censored at the date of their last adequate tumor assessment. DOR will be listed and summarized by dose level combination and checkpoint inhibitor in Phase Ib and by treatment group in Phase II part for all participants in the FAS with confirmed BOR of CR or PR.

Phase lb: Progression Free Survival (PFS) based on Investigator assessment
Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS will be assessed via local review according to RECIST 1.1. If no PFS event is observed, PFS will be censored at the date of the late adequate tumor assessment prior to data cut-off date and start of new anti-neoplastic therapy, whichever comes first. PFS will be analyzed in the FAS population according to the assigned dose level combination and checkpoint inhibitor in Phase Ib and by treatment group in Phase II part. The PFS distribution will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Kaplan-Meier curves, medians and 95% confidence intervals of the medians will be presented for each dose level combination and checkpoint inhibitor in Phase Ib and by treatment group in Phase II part.
Time frame: From date of randomization until date of progression or date of death from any cause, whichever come first, assessed for up to 3 years (estimated final OS analysis)
Phase lb: Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from date of first dose to date of death due to any cause in Phase Ib. If a participant is not known to have died, then OS will be censored at the latest date the participant was known to be alive (on or before the cut-off date). OS will be analyzed in the FAS population according to the assigned dose cohort and checkpoint inhibitor in Phase Ib. The OS distribution will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Kaplan-Meier curves, medians and 95% confidence intervals of the medians will be presented for each dose level combination and checkpoint inhibitor in Phase Ib Kaplan-Meier estimates with 95% confidence intervals every 6 months will be summarized as well by dose level combination, checkpoint inhibitor in Phase Ib and treatment group in Phase II part.

Phase ll: Progression free survival (PFS) by investigator assessment
Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS will be assessed via local review according to RECIST 1.1. If no PFS event is observed, PFS will be censored at the date of the late adequate tumor assessment prior to data cut-off date and start of new anti-neoplastic therapy, whichever comes first.
Time frame: From date of randomization until date of progression or date of death from any cause, whichever come first, assessed for up to 3 years (estimated final OS analysis)
