Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Assessment of the antitumor activity of lurbinectedin combined with durvalumab [6 months]
Antitumor activity will be assessed in terms of of 6-month progression-free rate (rate of complete or partial responses or stable disease more than 24 weeks, as per RECIST v1.1 criteria) after blinded centralized radiological review

Secondary Outcome Measures

6-months objective response for experimental Arm [6 months]
Objective response is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) observed at 6 months, based on RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Best overall response for experimental Arm [Throughout the treatment period, an expected average of 6 months]
Best overall response is defined as the best response across all time points (RECIST 1.1). The best overall response is determined once all the data for the patient is known (RECIST 1.1).
1-year progression-free survival for experimental Arm [1 year]
Progression-free survival is defined as the delay between the start date of treatment and the date of progression (as per RECIST 1.1) or death (from any cause), whichever occurs first
2-year progression-free survival for experimental Arm [2 years]
Progression-free survival is defined as the delay between the start date of treatment and the date of progression (as per RECIST 1.1) or death (from any cause), whichever occurs first
1-year overall survival for experimental Arm [1 year]
Overall survival is defined as the delay between the start date of treatment and the date of death (of any cause).
2-years overall survival for experimental Arm [2 years]
Overall survival is defined as the delay between the start date of treatment and the date of death (of any cause).
Safety profile for experimental Arm: Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 [Throughout the treatment period, an expected average of 6 months]
Toxicity graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.
Safety profile for standard Arm: Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 [Throughout the treatment period, an expected average of 6 months]
Toxicity graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.
Assessment of the antitumor activity of carboplatin combined with etoposide [6 months]
Antitumor activity will be assessed in terms of of 6-month progression-free rate (rate of complete or partial responses or stable disease more than 24 weeks, as per RECIST v1.1 criteria) after blinded centralized radiological review
