Palliative Radiotherapy With Lurbinectedin in Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Phase I Study of Palliative Radiotherapy With Lurbinectedin in Patients With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase I trial aims to determine if it is safe to use palliative radiotherapy and lurbinectedin at the same time to treat small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the chest and that has grown after being treated with chemotherapy (extensive stage). Lurbinectedin kills tumor cells by blocks a process called transcription that small cell lung cancer relies on to survive. It also damages the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of tumor cells, which is similar to the way radiation kills tumor cells. Palliative radiotherapy is a routine medical treatment for patients who have lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), and is used to relieve symptoms caused by cancer or to patients from developing symptoms. This trial may help doctors understand if treating patients with lurbinectedin and palliative radiotherapy at the same time would make them both work better than either one alone or if they could cause more side effects for patients when given together.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial tests whether adding palliative radiation therapy to standard treatment with lurbinectedin — a chemotherapy drug — can help control symptoms and slow disease progression in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that has stopped responding to prior treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer - You are receiving or are a candidate for lurbinectedin after your first treatment regimen stopped working - You have cancer that has spread to bones or other organs - Your blood counts, liver function, and overall health meet the required thresholds **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your brain metastases require high doses of steroids (more than 10 mg dexamethasone daily) - You are pregnant or planning to become pregnant - You have not recovered from prior treatment side effects Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
