About

This is an open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of golidocitinib with PD-1 inhibitors as maintenance treatment in patients with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Full description

This study is a single-arm clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of golidocitinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors in ES-SCLC. The study consists of two parts:

Part A (dose escalation), which will include previously untreated ES-SCLC subjects, aims to explore the safety and tolerability of golidocitinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors in this population and determine the recommended dose of the combination.

Part B (dose expansion), which will include previously untreated ES-SCLC subjects, aims to explore the preliminary efficacy of golidocitinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors in this population and evaluate the efficacy and safety.

After completing the required assessments during the screening period and meeting the eligibility criteria, the subjects will first receive 4 cycles of PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy in the induction phase, followed by maintenance treatment with PD-1 inhibitor combined with golidocitinib. Subjects will continue to receive PD-1 inhibitor combined with golidocitinib until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, withdrawal of informed consent by the subject, or 24 months of treatment.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

    • No neurological symptoms or symptoms are stable for at least 2 weeks after local treatment, no need to use corticosteroids or anti-epileptic drugs, and hormonal treatment has been stopped within 3 days before the first dose of study drug;
    • If brain metastases have been treated locally (radiotherapy or surgery), there should be a time window of ≥ 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment to ensure that local treatment-related adverse events have been reduced to CTCAE ≤ 1 grade;

11. Women of childbearing potential must undergo a urine and/or serum pregnancy test (if the urine test cannot be confirmed as negative) within 7 days before the first medication, and the result must be negative; WOCBP or men and their WOCBP partners should agree to take effective contraceptive measures from the signing of the ICF until 6 months after the last dose of the study drug;

12. The subjects should be able to understand the study protocol and voluntarily comply with the study and follow-up;

13. For patients who are about to enter the maintenance period, the investigator shall determine whether they are suitable for starting treatment with golidocitinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors (generally all previous toxicities must be alleviated to CTCAE ≤ 1 level, excluding hair loss, fatigue or other conditions that are judged by the investigator to be clinically insignificant).
