Study Summary

This trial is studying the best dose of temozolomide to give with niraparib and atezolizumab to treat patients with advanced solid tumors and extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who've responded to first-line platinum chemotherapy. They must be in good physical condition, not pregnant, willing to use contraception, and have no serious health issues or recent cancer treatments. Certain blood counts and organ functions are required.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of temozolomide (a chemo drug), niraparib (a PARP inhibitor that blocks DNA repair in cancer cells), and atezolizumab (an immunotherapy). It aims to find the best dose and see if this mix is more effective for patients with certain advanced cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver function changes, kidney function changes, allergic reactions to drugs used in treatment. Specific side effects will vary by individual.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm A (temozolomide, niraparib, atezolizumab)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5 and niraparib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive standard of care atezolizumab IV every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm B (atezolizumab)Active Control3 Interventions
Patients receive standard of care atezolizumab IV every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Could you provide information regarding any preexisting Quality-of-Life Assessment examinations?

"Currently, the field of Quality-of-Life Assessment has 646 clinical trials in progress; 106 of which are at Phase 3. Though Houston, Texas appears to host most studies for this area of research, there is an impressive 25,766 centres around the world conducting such assessments."

Answered by AI

What is the enrollment capacity of this clinical investigation?

"Affirmative. Clinical information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrates that this particular medical experiment is presently enrolling patients, with the initial posting date being 6th March 2019 and last edited on 2nd July 2022. 74 participants are expected to be recruited from a single centre for study participation."

Answered by AI

Are there still vacancies available for participation in this research endeavor?

"Per the information available on clinicaltrials.gov, this investigation is actively seeking participants; it was first posted in March of 2019 and its most recent update occurred on February 7th 2022."

Answered by AI

What maladies can Quality-of-Life Assessment be applied to?

"Quality-of-Life Assessment is often used to create and implement advance directives, but it may be useful for treating the symptoms of certain conditions like pharmacotherapy, small cell lung cancer (sclc), or disease progression."

Answered by AI

Is this an unprecedented research endeavor?

"Since its initial clinical trial in 2002, sponsored by Schering-Plough with 60 participants, Quality-of-Life Assessment has seen a great deal of research activity. After being approved for Phase 2 trials, 646 live studies are now conducted across 1935 cities and 76 countries."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I 2as just diagnosed in December and have had no treatment I live in Kentucky and the small town I live in doesn't really have any really good doctors that actually care about about trying to cure or suppress the disease I'm willing to try anything to live a longer life I'm all alone and terrified and really don't know what to do.
