Overview
Brief Summary
The study seeks to assess the efficacy of veliparib (ABT-888) in combination with carboplatin and etoposide in participants with extensive disease small cell lung cancer (ED SCLC).
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation/Phase 2 randomized double-blind study of veliparib in combination with carboplatin and etoposide and maintenance veliparib monotherapy. Participants in Phase 1 will be sequentially assigned to ascending dose levels of veliparib in combination with standard carboplatin/etoposide regimen for up to four 21-day cycles based on the observed toxicities. The study design for Phase 1 will follow a traditional "3 + 3" dose-escalation protocol. Once the veliparib recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) and schedule is determined, enrollment into Phase 2 will begin. Participants from the Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the study are not eligible for enrollment into the Phase 2 portion. Participants in Phase 2 will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to carboplatin, etoposide, placebo followed by placebo maintenance (Arm C), or carboplatin, etoposide, veliparib followed by either veliparib (Arm A) or placebo (Arm B) maintenance. Randomization for Phase 2 will be stratified by baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (\> upper limit of normal \[ULN\] vs. ≤ ULN), and gender.

Phase 2: Progression-free Survival
Time Frame: From randomization up to the date the 126th PFS event was reached; Median time on follow-up was 7.3, 7.1, and 8.9 months in each treatment group respectively.
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of earliest radiographic disease progression or death provided no radiographic disease progression occurred. If a participant did not have an event of disease progression and had not died on or prior to the cutoff for PFS analysis, the participant's data was censored at the date of their last disease assessment or randomization date provided participant did not have any post-baseline disease assessment. Disease assessments were performed using computed tomography according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the size of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm taking as reference the smallest lesion size recorded since the treatment started (baseline or after), or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
