Overview
This study will evaluate the efficacy of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab and carboplatin and etoposide (CE) compared with placebo plus atezolizumab and CE in participants with chemotherapy-naive extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatment regimens during induction phase:-
- Arm A: Tiragolumab plus atezolizumab and CE
- Arm B: Placebo plus atezolizumab and CE
Following the induction phase, participants will continue maintenance therapy with either atezolizumab plus tiragolumab (Arm A) or atezolizumab plus placebo (Arm B).
