Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Adult patients with age >18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of arsenic trioxide in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric single-agent trials, if applicable
Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >20 mm with conventional techniques or as >10 mm with spiral CT scan
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to 3.5 years

Study Summary

This trial will study whether onvansertib is safe and effective at treating small cell lung cancer in patients who can't tolerate or haven't responded to chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have tried and not responded to or can't tolerate chemotherapy. They must be able to take oral medication, use contraception, and have a certain level of physical fitness (ECOG ≤2). People with more than two prior chemo treatments, active hepatitis B/C or HIV without approval, recent major surgery, ongoing serious illnesses, or untreated brain metastases cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Onvansertib's safety and effectiveness in treating SCLC. Onvansertib blocks PLK-1 enzymes that help cancer cells repair themselves. Participants will receive this drug after failing standard platinum-based therapies and up to two lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for extensive stage disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include allergic reactions similar to those from drugs like Onvansertib; however specific side effects are not listed as data on adverse events are currently unavailable. Patients' normal organ function must be confirmed before starting treatment.
