: GEMINI tumor samples were analyzed under MD Anderson Cancer Center approved IRB protocol PA16-0061. IMpower133 (NCT02763579) is a randomized, Phase I/III, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of atezolizumab (anti–PD-L1) in combination with CE (n = 201) compared with treatment with placebo in combination with CE (n = 202) in chemotherapy-naive participants with ES-SCLC. The study protocol (Horn et al., 2018) was approved by the institutional review board or independent ethics committee for each study site. All biological materials in this study were used in accordance with the informed consent agreements obtained from all subjects and all analyses were performed in full accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
