    Disease Related

    • Extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC).
    • Any previous diagnosis of transformed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation positive NSCLC that has transformed to SCLC, or mixed SCLC NSCLC histology.
    • Evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis. Other Medical Conditions
    • History of other malignancy within the past 2 years, with certain exceptions.
    • History of solid organ transplantation.
    • Myocardial infarction and/or symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association > class II) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
    • History of arterial thrombosis (eg, stroke or transient ischemic attack) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
    • Exclusion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or hepatitis infection based on criteria per protocol.
    • Participant with symptoms and/or clinical signs and/or radiographic signs that indicate an acute and/or uncontrolled active systemic infection within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.

    Prior/Concomitant Therapy

    • Received sequential chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (no overlap of thoracic radiotherapy with chemotherapy) during chemoradiation.
    • Prior therapy with any selective inhibitor of the delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) pathway.
    • Prior history of severe or life-threatening events from any immune-mediated therapy.
    • Receiving another anti-cancer therapy. Adjuvant hormonal therapy for resected breast cancer is permitted.
    • Receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to enrollment.
    • Major surgical procedures within 28 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
    • Treatment with live virus, including live-attenuated vaccination, within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Inactive vaccines and live viral non-replicating vaccines within 3 days prior to first dose of study treatment.

    Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience

    • Treatment in an alternative investigational trial within 28 days prior to enrollment.

    Other Exclusions

    • Female participants who are breastfeeding or who plan to breastfeed while on study through 60 days after the last dose of study treatment.
    • Female participants planning to become pregnant or donate eggs while on study through 60 days after the last dose of study treatment.
    • Female participants of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening by a highly sensitive serum pregnancy test.
