Study Summary

Primary Objective: To demonstrate progression free survival (PFS) improvement for cabazitaxel compared to topotecan in participants with sensitive or resistant/refractory small cell lung cancer following a first line platinum based chemotherapy. Secondary Objectives: * To assess disease progression free rate at 12 weeks * To assess Response Rate (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor \[RECIST\] 1.1) and duration of response * To assess Overall Survival (OS) * To assess the Safety (National Cancer Institute - Common Toxicity Criteria \[NCI-CTC\] version 4.03) * To assess the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)

Primary Outcome

PFS was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of occurrence of the first documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first. Median PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.1) as: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study or unequivocal progression of existing non-t
