Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining lurbinectedin (Zepzelca) with durvalumab (Imfinzi) as maintenance therapy can delay cancer growth in people with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer whose disease has not worsened after initial chemotherapy plus durvalumab. About 50 participants will receive the two drugs intravenously. The main goal is to see how many patients remain progression-free after a set time.
