Study Summary
This trial is testing whether it's safe to use two cancer treatments at the same time to treat small cell lung cancer.
Who is the study for?
Adults with extensive stage small cell lung cancer that has spread and grown after chemotherapy can join this trial. They must have proper liver, blood, and bone marrow function, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception, and have an ECOG performance status of 3 or less (which means they are capable of limited self-care).Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety of combining lurbinectedin (a drug that disrupts cancer cell DNA) with palliative radiotherapy in patients whose lung cancer has metastasized. The goal is to see if using them together improves effectiveness without increasing side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those common to chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased risk of infection due to low blood counts; and for radiation therapy like skin irritation at the treatment site and fatigue.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (lurbinectedin and palliative radiation therapy)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo palliative RT over 5 or 10 treatment fractions at the discretion of the treating physician daily for 21 days. Patients also receive lurbinectedin IV over 1 hour on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles of lurbinectedin repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- I understand my cancer diagnosis and the risks and benefits of the study.I am not pregnant and can prove it with a test before starting treatment.I agree to use birth control during and after the study as required.I finished all my cancer treatments except lurbinectedin 3 weeks ago.I had radiation therapy, but my current cancer treatment area is not close to previously treated critical areas.I am willing and able to follow the study's schedule and procedures.Your hemoglobin level is higher than 7.0 grams per deciliter.I have brain metastases and take less than 10 mg of dexamethasone daily.I have small cell lung cancer and am eligible for or receiving lurbinectedin after my first treatment didn’t work.You need to have at least 100,000 platelets per cubic millimeter of blood.I am 18 years old or older.Your total bilirubin level should be less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.My cancer has spread to my bones or organs, confirmed by a scan within the last 3 months.I can take care of myself but can't do heavy physical work.You need to have a certain level of a type of white blood cell called neutrophils in your blood.Your liver enzymes (AST/ALT) are not more than 3 times the upper limit of normal (or not more than 5 times if you have liver involvement).Your alkaline phosphatase levels are not too high, unless you have liver or bone metastases, in which case they can be a little higher.
Timeline:
This trial has the following timeline:- Screening: It may take up to 3 Weeks to process to see if you qualify in this trial.
- Treatment: The duration you will receive the treatment varies.
- Follow Ups: You may be asked to continue sharing information regarding the trial for 6 Months after you stop receiving the treatment.
Research Study Groups:
This trial has the following groups:- Group 1: Treatment (lurbinectedin and palliative radiation therapy)
Awards:
