Conditions: Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 1351
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the addition of Ipilimumab to Etoposide and Platinum therapy will extend the lives of patients with Extensive-Stage Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) more than Etoposide and Platinum therapy alone.

Detailed description:

Arms:

Etoposide: IV solution, IV, 100 mg/m2, Days 1-3 every 3 weeks, 4 cycles

Cisplatin: IV solution, IV, 75 mg/m2, Once every 3 weeks, 4 doses

Carboplatin: IV Solution, IV, Area Under the Curve (AUC) 5, Once every 3 weeks, 4 doses arm 2: Placebo matching Ipilimumab: IV solution, IV, 0 mg/kg, Once every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then every 12 weeks, Until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity, or until the maximum treatment period of 3 years is reached

Etoposide: IV solution, IV, 100 mg/m2, Days 1-3 every 3 weeks, 4 cycles

Cisplatin: IV solution, IV, 75 mg/m2, Once every 3 weeks, 4 doses
