A Phase 2 Study of PLK1 Inhibitor, Onvansertib, in Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer


Sponsor

University of Maryland, Baltimore

Enrollment

37 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

This phase II clinical trial will study the safety and efficacy of onvansertib to treat patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have either not responded to or are unable to tolerate chemotherapy. Onvansertib is a drug that inhibits polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1), an enzyme that is over-expressed in many cancer cells and is involved in cellular repair.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a drug called onvansertib (a PLK1 inhibitor) in people with small cell lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment. PLK1 is a protein that cancer cells depend on to divide; blocking it may slow or stop tumor growth. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer - Your cancer has returned or stopped responding to prior treatment (relapsed or refractory) - You have received at least one prior line of therapy - You are 18 or older with adequate organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have untreated brain metastases (cancer spread to the brain) - You have severe heart, liver, or kidney problems - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have had certain other cancers recently - You are taking medications that strongly interact with the study drug Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
