Study Overview: Daiichi Sankyo, in collaboration with Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, is conducting a Phase 1b/2 study titled ‘IDeate-Lung03’ to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) combined with atezolizumab, with or without carboplatin, in treating extensive stage-small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). This study aims to explore new first-line treatment options for ES-SCLC, a condition with limited therapeutic advancements.
Intervention/Treatment: The study tests ifinatamab deruxtecan, a B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugate, in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab, and optionally, the chemotherapy agent carboplatin. These interventions are intended to improve treatment outcomes for ES-SCLC patients.
Study Design: This interventional study is randomized with a parallel assignment model. It is open-label, meaning no masking is involved, and its primary purpose is treatment. Participants are divided into cohorts to receive different combinations of the drugs.
Study Timeline: The study began on January 2, 2024, and the latest update was submitted on October 8, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and ensuring timely updates for stakeholders.
Market Implications: The ongoing study could significantly impact Daiichi Sankyo’s stock performance by potentially expanding its oncology portfolio. Success in this trial may enhance investor confidence and position the company competitively in the oncology market, particularly against other firms focusing on lung cancer treatments.
The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
