Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of drugs to see if they may be effective in shrinking tumors for people with small cell lung cancer or high-grade neuroendocrine cancers.

Who is the study for?
Adults 18+ with solid tumors, SCLC, or HGNEC who understand the study and consent to participate. They must use contraception if of child-bearing potential, have an ECOG performance status ≤2 (indicating a level of functioning), measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria, and adequate organ function. Excluded are those with symptomatic brain metastases not stabilized by treatment, HIV-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy, anyone eligible for curative therapy elsewhere, participants in other trials or allergic to similar compounds.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining lurbinectedin and berzosertib to shrink tumors in patients with SCLC and HGNEC. Participants receive lurbinectedin via IV on day one and berzosertib on days one and two every three weeks (21-day cycle). The best dose will be determined based on response which is monitored through physical exams, blood tests including heart function checks via electrocardiograms, CT scans for tumor assessment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the infusion site from IV administration; changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding; fatigue; possible liver enzyme alterations indicating liver stress; kidney function changes measured by creatinine levels; hair loss due to drug toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the total participants for this research project?

"That is correct, the online information indicates that this study requires 75 participants and is being conducted at a single site."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies in this research project for new participants?

"Yes, according to the latest information on clinicaltrials.gov, this study is open for recruitment. The trial was first announced on June 1st, 2021 and was most recently updated on October 14th, 2022. Currently, the study is looking for 75 individuals at a single site."

Answered by AI

Does Lurbinectedin have a long and successful history in clinical trials?

"To date, there have been 24 clinical trials researching Lurbinectedin. Of those active studies, 2 are in Phase 3. The many trials for Lurbinectedin primarily take place in Sacramento, California; however, 564 locations across the globe are running trials for this treatment."

Answered by AI

What are the main goals that we hope to achieve with this research?

"The primary goal for this phase II clinical trial is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Additionally, researchers will measure overall survival (OS), duration of response, and the pharmacokinetic profile of berzosertib and lurbinectedin."
