Study Summary

This triallooks at safety and effectiveness of a new drug combo to treat a type of cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) who have normal liver and kidney function, controlled asthma or COPD, no more than four prior cancer treatments, and can swallow pills. They must not be pregnant, agree to use contraception if of childbearing potential, and cannot participate in other high-priority trials.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and optimal dose of Unesbulin combined with Dacarbazine in treating LMS. Participants will receive varying doses based on previous participants' reactions to find the maximum tolerated dose using a method called TITE-CRM.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those common to chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding tendencies. Specific side effects related to Unesbulin are not detailed but may align with typical chemotherapy-related issues.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Unesbulin and DacarbazineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive unesbulin orally twice weekly in combination with dacarbazine IV once every 21 days. The first participant will receive dacarbazine 1000 mg/m^2 IV every 21 days in combination with unesbulin 200 mg tablet orally twice weekly. For subsequent participants, the dose level at which treatment is initiated will be selected based on the TITE-CRM using the most up to date dose DLT information from all participants previously treated. Participants will receive unesbulin 300 mg twice weekly in combination with dacarbazine in the expansion cohort. Treatment will continue for each participant until evidence of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or treatment discontinuation for another reason.
