The phase III trial IMpower133 showed that platinum and etoposide plus atezolizumab was associated with improved overall survival (OS) and progression free‐survival (PFS) when compared to the placebo group in treatment‐naïve extensive stage (ES) small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Due to superiority in clinical outcomes, combination immunotherapy plus chemotherapy have become mainstay treatment modalities as first‐line treatment in ES‐SCLC. Nevertheless, real‐world data are still lacking and the search for potential biomarkers is essential. This study aimed to evaluate potential predictive biomarkers applicable in ES‐SCLC under combination therapy.
