Immunogene therapy quaratusugene ozeplasmid will be evaluated in combination with atezolizumab in a phase 1/2 trial for the treatment of small cell lung cancer.

Investigators of a retrospective study suggest that reducing myelosuppression may make chemotherapy safer and reduce the need for supportive care among those with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Investigators report no deaths related to treatment with ABBV-011 among patients with small cell lung cancer in a first-in-human phase 1 trial.

Patients with DLL3-positive small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine carcinoma experience early efficacy following treatment with BI 764532.

Data from a retrospective cohort study indicate that nearly all patients receiving chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer in the community setting appear to experience myelosuppressive toxicities.

Investigators indicate that more analyses are necessary to identify patients with pretreated small cell lung cancer who will best benefit from treatment with olaparib and durvalumab.

Treatment with socazolimab plus carboplatin and etoposide appears safe in patients with small cell lung cancer, according to preliminary phase 1 study findings.

Overall survival and progression-free survival appear comparable in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer treated with liposomal irinotecan vs topotecan.

Factors including age, gender, and facility type may influence the likelihood of pain specialist referrals for lung cancer, suggesting a need for multidisciplinary pain management in this patient population.

Investigators indicate that strategies are necessary to identify patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who won’t benefit from immunotherapy-based treatment.

A favorable Glasgow prognostic score appears to correlate with improved overall survival and progression-free survival following treatment with atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide for small cell lung cancer.

Patients 70 years or older with limited stage small cell lung cancer appear to tolerate concurrent thoracic chemoradiotherapy and have similar disease control rates as younger patients.
