ETOP 23-22 RAISE: A clinical study investigating the effect of Niraparib and immunotherapy in patients with SLFN11-positive small cell lung cancer
Summary description of the study
The clinical study ETOP 23-22 RAISE is designed for patients with a type of lung cancer called "small cell lung cancer" (SCLC). Additionally, the lung cancer must be positive for the biomarker SLFN11. The usual treatment for patients newly diagnosed with "small cell lung cancer" is chemotherapy and immunotherapy. To participate in the RAISE study, standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy must have been completed. Furthermore, a continuation of immunotherapy treatment must be planned. In the RAISE study, we want to examine whether Niraparib helps prevent the recurrence of SLFN11-positive lung cancer when given in addition to immunotherapy. We also want to determine whether the side effects of this treatment are tolerable (manageable). The study will involve 44 patients at approximately 20 hospitals in 5 countries in Europe. In Switzerland, it is planned that 14 patients will participate.

Intervention under investigation
The study medication consists of Niraparib in addition to standard immunotherapy, which is planned as a continuation after combined chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
- Niraparib is taken daily in tablet form.
- The daily dose of Niraparib is 2 tablets of 100 mg for a body weight of less than 77 kg, or 3 tablets of 100 mg for a body weight of 77 kg and above.
Study participants must go to the hospital for visits with the study doctor at the following times:
- Before the start of the study
- during the receipt of the study treatment (at least every 4 weeks)
- after the end of the study treatment every 6 weeks, as long as the cancer remains stable,
- when the lung cancer begins to grow again, every 3 months
In total, up to 24 study visits may occur over a period of approximately 2 years, depending on when study participation begins.

Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
Gender: All
Maximum age: N/A
Minimum age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria:
Inclusion criteria for SLFN11-expression testing
- Written IC part 1: for SLFN11-screening must be signed and dated by the patient and
the investigator prior to sending any tumour material to the central laboratory.
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed ED-SCLC (stage IV according to the 8th TNM
classification).
- Availability of FFPE tumour tissue for screening.
Inclusion criteria for trial participation
- Written IC part 2: for trial participation must be signed and dated by the patient
and the investigator prior to any trial-related intervention.
- High SLFN11-expression on FFPE tumour material:
SLFN11-expression is determined at the central screening laboratory in Basel.
Overexpression is defined as detectable protein expression by IHC in =20% of tumour
cells.
- Patients must have received standard first-line chemo-immunotherapy, consisting of 4
cycles of platinum-etoposide chemotherapy in combination with an anti-PD-L1 antibody
(atezolizumab or durvalumab). Patients who started the immunotherapy at chemotherapy
cycle 2 are eligible.
- ED-SCLC must not have progressed during or after standard chemo-immunotherapy (as
per RECIST v1.1).
- Patients must be candidates for ongoing maintenance treatment with immune-checkpoint
inhibition.
- Adequate haematological function:
- Adequate renal function:
- Adequate liver function:
- ECOG PS 0-2
- Age =18 years
- Women of childbearing potential, including women who had their last menstruation in
the last 2 years, must have a negative urinary or serum pregnancy test within 4
weeks before enrolment and within 3 days before treatment start.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Symptomatic brain metastases
- Any clinically active cancer, other than SCLC Exception: malignancies with
negligible risk of metastases or death (e.g. 5-year OS rate of >90%), such as
adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma,
localised prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or stage I uterine cancer.
Hormonal therapy for non-metastatic prostate or ductal carcinoma in situ is allowed.
Consolidating thoracic radiotherapy. Palliative radiotherapy to the brain or to bones is
allowed.
- History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organising pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis
obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of
active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan.
- Any lung disease requiring systemic steroids in doses of >10 mg prednisolone (or
equivalent dose of other steroid).
- Any serious concomitant systemic disorders (for example active infection, unstable
cardiovascular disease) which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise
the patient's ability to complete the trial or interfere with the evaluation of the
efficacy and safety of the protocol treatment.
- Inadequately controlled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure >150 mmHg
and/or diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg.
The patient must be considered stable and hypertension medically controlled.
- History of myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML).
- Prior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES)
- Severe renal or hepatic impairment.
- Any clinically significant gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities that may alter
absorption such as malabsorption syndrome or major resection of the stomach and/or
bowels.
- Treated with live vaccine within 30 days before enrolment.
- Hypersensitivity to niraparib or any of its excipients (e.g., tartrazine).
- Women who are pregnant or in the period of lactation.
- Sexually active men and women of childbearing potential who are not willing to use
an effective contraceptive method during the trial and within the required timelines
after last dose of niraparib treatment.

procedures, restrictions and requirements. (ICTRP)
