A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of RO7616789 in Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer and Other Neuroendocrine Carcinomas

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of RO7616789. The study will have 3 parts: Dose Escalation (Parts 1 and 2) and Dose Expansion (Part 3). Participants with advanced stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) will be enrolled in the study.

Conditions

Small Cell Lung Cancer
Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Exclusion Criteria

Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 40 days after the final dose of study treatment - Poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus defined as a screening hemoglobin A1c ≥ 8% or a fasting plasma glucose ≥ 160 mg/dL (or 8.8 mmol/L) - QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 470 ms.

Arm Groups

Arm	Description	Assigned Intervention
Experimental Part 1: RO7616789 QW: Dose Escalation	Participants will receive a fixed dose of RO7616789 intravenously once weekly (QW) per dose level on Day 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle. In case of toxicity, step-up (single or double) dosing may be explored.	Drug: RO7616789 RO7616789 solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at a dose and per schedule as specified for the respective part. Drug: Tocilizumab Tocilizumab will be used as rescue therapy, in case of clinical presentation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tocilizumab solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at 8 mg/kg for participants >/= 30 kg or at 12 mg/kg for participants < 30 kg. Other names: Actemra, RoActemra
Experimental Part 2: RO7616789 Q3W: Dose Escalation	Participants will receive a fixed dose of RO7616789, at a dose determined in Part 1, intravenously once every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. In case of toxicity, step-up (single or double) dosing may be explored.	Drug: RO7616789 RO7616789 solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at a dose and per schedule as specified for the respective part. Drug: Tocilizumab Tocilizumab will be used as rescue therapy, in case of clinical presentation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tocilizumab solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at 8 mg/kg for participants >/= 30 kg or at 12 mg/kg for participants < 30 kg. Other names: Actemra, RoActemra
Experimental Part 3: Dose Expansion	Based on emerging data from Part 1 and 2, one or more dosing regimens will be further investigated in Part 3.	Drug: RO7616789 RO7616789 solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at a dose and per schedule as specified for the respective part. Drug: Tocilizumab Tocilizumab will be used as rescue therapy, in case of clinical presentation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tocilizumab solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at 8 mg/kg for participants >/= 30 kg or at 12 mg/kg for participants < 30 kg. Other names: Actemra, RoActemra
