Study Summary
This trial tests a 3-drug combo to treat lung cancer that has progressed on frontline treatment; first, a phase I will test different doses, then phase II will use the recommended dose to assess efficacy.
Who is the study for?
Adults with small cell or non-small cell lung cancer that's worsened after initial treatment can join. They must have tried specific therapies based on their cancer type, be in good physical condition, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. People with certain other cancers, active infections like Hepatitis B/C or HIV, severe neuropathy, untreated brain metastases, serious heart conditions, or a history of seizures unrelated to cancer are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ADI-PEG 20 combined with chemotherapy drugs Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in patients whose lung cancer has progressed despite first-line therapy. The study starts by finding the safest dose combination (Phase I) before moving on to see how well it works at that dose (Phase II).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system's response to ADI-PEG 20 and typical chemotherapy-related issues such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase II Small cell lung cancer: ADI-PEG + gemcitabine + docetaxelExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
ADI-PEG 20 is given as an intramuscular injection on a weekly basis (Day 1, 8 and 15) at a dose of 36 mg/m^2. ADI-PEG 20 dosing will start one week prior to the initiation of gemcitabine + docetaxel on Day -7 prior to the initiation of Cycle 1.
Gemcitabine is given intravenously at the assigned dose level on Day 2 of each cycle.
Docetaxel is given intravenously at the assigned dose level on Day 1 of each cycle.
A cycle is defined as 21 days.
After Cycle 8, patients may continue on ADI-PEG 20 alone (without gemcitabine and docetaxel) per physician discretion or patient request.
Treatment may continue for up to 34 cycles.
