About

This exploratory trial aims to determine if it is safe to use radiotherapy and lurbinectedin to treat locally-advanced SCLC after first-line therapy. This study will enroll patients with thoracic disease but no distant metastases after first line treatment failure. Lurbinectedin kills tumor cells by blocks transcription and damages the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of tumor cells, which is similar to the way radiation kills tumor cells. Traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a routine medical treatment for locally-advanced SCLC, but the combination is always toxic. This trial may help understand if treating patients with lurbinectedin and radiotherapy could cause less side effects.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

To describe the safety in terms of radiation therapy (RT) in combination with lurbinectedin in patients with locally-advanced SCLC after first-line therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of RT plus lurbinectedin, as assessed by Progression free survival (PFS) and Overall survival (OS).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 2 cycles of lurbinectedin combined with thoracic radiotherapy followed by 2 cycles of lurbinectedin alone. Patients receive lurbinectedin intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1 of each cycle. G-CSF（Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor） will be used for prophylaxis.

Enrollment: 9 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study entry. Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use adequate contraception during the test drug treatment period and for 6 months after the final dose. Male patients (with partners of WOCBP) must use adequate contraception for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of administration.

• Patients known to be allergic to any component of the test drug;

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding or WOCBP who has a positive serum pregnancy test;

• Comorbidities Requirements:

  1. Has unstable angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure (CHF) classified as New York Heart Association (NYHA) II or higher, or other clinically significant cardiovascular diseases currently or within the past year prior to screening;
  2. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg), or a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy;
  3. Patients with severe arrhythmias requiring medication;
  4. Patients with active infections requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral treatment within 2 weeks prior to administration;
  5. Patients with evidence of bleeding tendencies or coagulation disorders;
  6. Patients with other significant diseases judged unsuitable for entry by the investigator.
