A Study to Evaluate the Optimal Dose, Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity of Intravenous ABBV-706 in Combination With Atezolizumab Versus Standard of Care as First-Line Treatment in Adult Participants With Previously Untreated Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive and rapid growth and a tendency to develop early spread to distant sites including mediastinal lymph nodes, liver, bones, adrenal glands, and brain. The purpose of this study is to assess safety, dose, change in disease activity of ABBV-706 given with atezolizumab, compared to standard of care (SOC) treatment (etoposide, carboplatin, atezolizumab, and optional lurbinectedin). ABBV-706 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of SCLC. There are multiple treatment arms in this study. Participants will either receive ABBV-706 given with atezolizumab, at 1 of 2 doses, or SOC. Approximately 180 adult participants will be enrolled in the study across sites worldwide. In the safety lead-in, participants with SCLC will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-706 in 1 of 2 doses with IV atezolizumab, or IV SOC. In the expansion portion of the study, participants with SCLC will receive IV ABBV-706 in 1 of 2 doses with atezolizumab, or IV SOC, until the optimal dose of ABBV-706 is determined. The estimated duration of the study is up to 69.5 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic and may require frequent medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires, and scans.

Tissue Procurement and Natural History Study of People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Small Cell Lung Cancer, Extrapulmonary Small Cell Cancer, Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors, and Thymic Epithelial Tumors

Background: \- Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It causes more than one million deaths every year. Researchers want to gather tissue samples from people with lung and thymic cancers to understand the disease better. This may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat it. Objective: \- To collect tissue samples for use in the study of lung cancers. Eligibility: \- Adults over age 18 with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, extra pulmonary small cell cancer, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, and thymic epithelial tumors. Design: * Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will be asked about how they perform their daily tasks. * Participants may be asked to give urine and blood samples. They may give a saliva sample if they cannot give blood. They will also give a sample of their tumor from a biopsy they had. They may also be given the option to undergo a biopsy. * Participants may have MRI, CT, and/or PET scans of the body. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. * After visits to the Clinical Center end, researchers will contact participants by phone every year to check on their health.

Epigenomic Profiling of Circulating Cell-Free DNA (cfDNA) to Characterize the Dynamic Evolution of Molecular Subtypes in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer During First-Line Chemoimmunotherapy

The EPICIRC SCLC project aims to improve our understanding and treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES SCLC), the most aggressive form of lung cancer that accounts for 15% of all cases. Despite current treatments, which combine chemotherapy with immunotherapy, the outlook for patients remains poor, with an average survival of just 12 months. Recent research has shown that this cancer can be classified into four subtypes, which respond differently to anti-cancer treatments. However, these subtypes may change over time, particularly during chemotherapy, which could explain why many patients eventually become resistant to treatment. Understanding how these subtypes evolve could pave the way for better treatment strategies, but it has been difficult to study these changes because new tumor samples are rarely collected after a patient is diagnosed. The EPICIRC SCLC project tackles this challenge by using liquid biopsies, a minimally invasive technique that analyzes circulating free DNA (cfDNA) found in patients blood. This approach allows to monitor changes in the tumor's molecular profile over time without needing additional tissue samples. By collecting and analyzing blood samples from patients at three key points-before treatment, after four cycles of chemo-immunotherapy, and at disease progression-the project aims to track the evolution of the tumor's molecular subtypes and identify patterns associated with treatment resistance. Using advanced epigenomic technologies, we will study how genes are regulated and how their activity changes during treatment. This will provide a detailed map of the tumor's molecular evolution and could uncover new targets for future therapies. In the long term, these findings would lead to more personalized treatment strategies, helping clinicians select therapies based on the specific molecular profile of each patient's cancer at different stages of their treatment.

Symbiotic-Lung-14: A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine Called PF08634404 in Combination With Chemotherapy in Adult Participants With Transformed Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study is being done to learn more about a new medicine called PF-08634404. The study team wants to understand how well PF-08634404 works when given alone or with chemotherapy . Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses medicines to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. The study is for adults with Transformed Small Cell Lung Cancer (T-SCLC ). T SCLC is a rare lung cancer that happens when one type of lung cancer changes into a more aggressive type after treatment stops working. To join the study, participants must meet the following conditions: * Are aged 18 years or older * Diagnosed with T-SCLC and have not received treatment for this type of lung cancer (a single cycle of chemotherapy may be permitted) * Prior diagnosis of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) * Have healthy organs based on medical tests and are in good physical condition After joining the study, adults will be given chemotherapy in addition to the study medicine. After this combination treatment is finished, the study medicine will be continued alone. Adults will receive the treatment through IV infusions (medicine given directly into a vein). All treatments will be done at clinical study sites, where a trained medical team will monitor adults during and after each visit.
