- Left ventricular ejection fraction or shortening fraction per institutional norm ≥ institutional lower level of normal.
- The participant has creatine phosphokinase ≤ 2.5 × institutional ULN. Weight
- The participant has body weight ≥ 15 kg. Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirements Male participants: Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the study intervention period and for at least 4 months after the last dose of study intervention:
- Refrain from donating sperm. PLUS, either:
- Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent. OR
- Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below:
- Agree to use a male condom with female partner and use of an additional highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of \< 1% per year when having sexual intercourse with a Woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who is not currently pregnant.
- Note: male participants who are azoospermic (vasectomized or due to a medical cause) are still required to follow the protocol-specified contraception/barrier criteria. Female participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following conditions applies:
- Is a Woman of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP). OR
- Is a WOCBP and using an acceptable contraceptive method during the study intervention period (at least 7 months after the last dose of study intervention). The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (eg, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
- A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 7 days before the first dose of study intervention.
- If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
- Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention.
- The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy. Informed Consent
- Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Medical Conditions
- corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation defined as a QTc ≥ 460 ms using the Bazett formula in age \< 18 years and QTc ≥ 470 ms using the Bazett formula in age ≥ 18 years.
- Known symptomatic Central nervous system (CNS) metastases requiring steroids. Participants with previously diagnosed CNS metastases are eligible if they have completed their treatment and have recovered from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to enrollment, have discontinued high dose steroid treatment for these metastases for at least 2 weeks, and are neurologically stable (physiologic doses of steroids and short courses of steroids for other indications are acceptable).
- Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy; however, alopecia, sensory neuropathy, hypothyroidism, and rash Grade ≤ 2 are acceptable, and other Grade ≤ 2 adverse events (AEs) not constituting a safety risk based on the investigator's judgement are acceptable.
- An uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to ongoing or active infection requiring antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral therapy, symptomatic heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Any other major illness that, in the investigator's judgment, could substantially increase the risk associated with participation in this study.
- Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the participant at high-risk for treatment complications. Prior/Concomitant Therapy
- Received prior treatment with lurbinectedin or trabectedin.
- Received prior treatment with any investigational product within 4 weeks of first infusion of study intervention. Observational studies are permitted.
- Received live or live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of the first dose of study treatment or plans to receive live vaccines during study participation. Administration of inactive vaccines or messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines (for example, inactivated influenza vaccines or COVID-19 vaccines) are allowed.
- Had major surgery ≤ 4 weeks or radiation therapy ≤ 2 weeks prior to enrollment unless fully recovered. Prior palliative radiotherapy is permitted, provided it was completed at least 2 weeks prior to participant enrollment.
- Received prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or solid organ transplant.
- Received chemotherapy ≤ 3 weeks prior to start of study intervention. Diagnostic Assessments
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection at screening (positive HBV surface antigen or Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for HCV RNA if HCV antibody test is positive).

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
