Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding mycophenolate mofetil and allopurinol to chemotherapy drugs used for relapsed small cell lung cancer will improve outcomes compared to using other single agent chemotherapy drugs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with small cell lung cancer that's come back after platinum-based chemo and anti-PD-L1 therapy. They must have measurable disease, be able to perform daily activities (ECOG ≤ 2), and have normal organ function. Participants need to use contraception and can't join if they've had certain infections or treatments recently, other cancers, intolerances to specific drugs, active autoimmune diseases, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B/C, brain metastases requiring treatment or are pregnant/breastfeeding.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The CLAMP Trial tests whether adding mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and allopurinol to the chemotherapy drug irinotecan improves outcomes for relapsed small cell lung cancer patients. It aims to see if this combination is safe and increases the time without disease progression compared to past single-agent chemotherapies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system suppression leading to increased infection risk; gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhea; liver problems; potential first trimester pregnancy loss or birth defects if taken during pregnancy; allergic reactions similar in nature to those caused by MMF or allopurinol.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What are the primary health conditions for which Mycophenolate Mofetil is prescribed?

"Mycophenolate Mofetil is widely employed to combat kidney transplant rejection, yet can also be applied in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma, ovarian cancer, and various sarcoma cases."

Answered by AI

Are there any opportunities to join the current clinical trial?

"Clinicaltrials.gov states that this particular research project is no longer enrolling participants, with its initial post dated February 28th 2023 and the latest update from October 26th 2022. Nonetheless, there are 1,971 other clinical trials actively seeking candidates at present."

Answered by AI

What other empirical examinations have been conducted using Mycophenolate Mofetil?

"Presently, 399 clinical trials are investigating the effects of Mycophenolate Mofetil. Of these 399 studies, 72 have advanced to Phase 3 testing. Although most research is being conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, there are 9493 sites conducting such investigations."

Answered by AI

How many participants are included in this research endeavor?

"Unfortunately, this trial is not open for recruitment at present. It was initially posted on February 28th 2023 and the most recent update occurred October 26th 2022.
