Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• All side effects attributed to prior anti-cancer therapy must have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline.

• A maximum of 8 weeks (56 days) is allowed between last chemotherapy dose (Cycle 4, Day 3) given in induction and the start of maintenance therapy.

Dose Escalation, Induction Arm B:

• ANC >= 1,500 cells/µL without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support.

Dose Expansion, Maintenance-Only:

• Participants with ES-SCLC who have completed 4 cycles of carboplatin and etoposide induction chemotherapy and at least 3 cycles of atezolizumab as their first-line therapy for extensive-stage disease and have responded (CR or PR) or have SD are eligible for the maintenance arm of the study.

• Significant cardiovascular disease.

• Major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to enrollment or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study.

• Prior allogenic bone marrow transplantation or solid organ transplant.

• Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the participant at high risk for treatment complications.

• Illnesses or conditions that interfere with their capacity to understand, follow, and/or comply with study procedures.

• Treatment with investigational therapy with therapeutic intent within 28 days prior to enrollment.

• Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before enrollment or anticipation that such a live attenuated vaccine will be required during the study.

• Prior treatment with CD137 agonists or immune checkpoint blockade therapies, anti-PD-1, and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies.

• Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications within 1 week prior to enrollment.

• History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins.

• History of allergic reactions to carboplatin or etoposide or to any of its excipients (etoposide).

• Known hypersensitivity to venetoclax or to any of its excipients.

• Administration of Steroid therapy for anti-neoplastic intent, strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors or strong or moderate CYP3A inducers within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

• Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit products, Seville oranges (including marmalade-containing Seville oranges), or starfruit (carambola) within 3 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

• Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that would interfere with enteral absorption.

• Illicit drug or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to screening, in the investigator's judgement.

• Inability or unwillingness to swallow a large number of tablets.

• History of inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) or active bowel inflammation (e.g., diverticulitis).
