Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Measurable disease based on RECIST v1.1
  • Performance status of 0-1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale
  • Adequate organ function as defined per protocol
  • Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours from receiving first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
  • WOCBP should agree to use 2 methods of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through 5 months after the last dose of study medication, or should be surgically sterile. Note: A woman is considered to be of "reproductive potential" (WOCBP) if she has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months. In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures, she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures.
  • Male participants should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 7 months after the last dose of study therapy.
  • Note: In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (vasectomy). However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures, he is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures.

Who cannot join

  • Individuals meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
  • Is currently participating in a study of an investigational agent or device and received or used the investigational agent or device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
  • Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of treatment. Note: Systemic steroid doses of ≤ 10 mg of prednisone daily or its equivalent are allowed in patients receiving physiologic replacement steroid doses
  • Has a known history of active Bacillus Tuberculosis (TB)
  • Hypersensitivity to Lurbinectedin, Ipilimumab and/or nivolumab or any of its excipients.
  • Has had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
Show all 25Show fewer
  • Has had targeted small molecule therapy, or standard fractionated radiotherapy within 2 weeks, chemotherapy within 3 weeks and stereotactic radiotherapy within 1 week prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent. Note:: Participants with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study. If participant received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
  • Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer. Other malignancies that remain without evidence of disease or recurrence, 2 years or more after curative therapy are also considered part of this exception.
  • Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.
  • Has any of the following concomitant diseases/conditions:
  • History or presence of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or clinically significant valvular heart disease within last year.
  • Symptomatic arrhythmia or any uncontrolled arrhythmia requiring ongoing treatment.
  • History of idiopathic, pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT-scan. History of radiation pneumonitis in radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted, as long as it is asymptomatic and no steroids are needed.
  • Myopathy or any clinical situation that causes significant and persistent elevation of CPK (>2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) in two different determinations performed one week apart).
  • Any diagnosis of autoimmune disease (confirmed by medical records or appropriate laboratory testing) is not allowed.
  • Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nivolumab, Ipilimumab and Lurbinectedin in people with Small-cell Lung Cancer and Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: DLTs). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lurbinectedin with Nivolumab and Ipilimumab (time frame: Up to 12 weeks per cohort). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2024.
