(Relapsed SCLC)
What this study is about
randomly assigned phase 2, conducted at multiple hospitals, biomarker directed clinical trial with a safety lead-in to assess the effectiveness of Stenoparib plus Temozolomide (TMZ) in relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer patients.
View original scientific description
Randomized phase 2, multicenter, biomarker directed clinical trial with a safety lead-in to assess the efficacy of Stenoparib plus Temozolomide (TMZ) in relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer patients. Participants will receive either a combination of oral Stenoparib at the highest tolerated dose with oral Temozolomide 40mg daily or standard of care Lurbinectedin for 21-day cycles. The Dose limiting toxicity period will be 1 cycle of 21 days.
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCT
Stenoparib/Temozolomide
Stenoparib at the recommended phase 2 dose +Temozolomide 40mg/day daily will be given in combination x21 days each cycle
DRUG
Lurbinectedin
Lurbinectedin 3.2mg/m2 one-hour intravenous (IV) infusion x 21 days each cycle
COMBINATION_PRODUCT
Stenoparib/Temozolomide
Patients will be assigned to one of three doses of Stenoparib (200mg po qd, 200mg po BID, and 200mg in am and 400mg in pm). The initial starting dose will be the 200 mg po QD orally daily for 21 days.
Primary outcome measures
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time frame: Through study completion up to 2 years.
According to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors RECIST 1.1(imaging criteria or progression or patient death).
Recommended Phase 2 dose
Time frame: Through end of cycle 1 (21 days)
Defined as the recommended dose of Stenoparib for phase 2
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Age 18 years or older at the time of consent.
- Histological or cytological diagnosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
- Patients must have received one prior line of systemic therapy.
- Patients must have received first-line therapy with Carboplatin and Etoposide.
- If patient is re-treated with Carboplatin and Etoposide at least 6 months or more after first regimen, this will still be considered one line of
- treatment and they will qualify for this trial.
- Patients could have received immunotherapy in combination with the chemotherapy regimen.
- Patients who have received Tarlatamab as second line treatment are allowed.
- ECOG Performance status 0-2.
- Measurable disease as per RECIST v1.1 (NOTE: Previously irradiated lesions are eligible as a target lesion only if there is documented progression of the lesion after irradiation).
- Adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function, as assessed by the following laboratory requirements:
- Platelets 100 × 109/L
- Hemoglobin 9 g/dL or 5.6 mmol/L
- Aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), \<5× in patients with known liver metastases
- Serum total bilirubin 1.5 × ULN, 1.5-3.0 × ULN may be included appropriate starting dose adjustment to 200 mg daily.
- Creatinine \<1.5 × ULN or estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 50 ml/min by Cockcroft-Gault. Depending on scenario, GFR 30-49 can be --permissible.
- Women of child-bearing potential must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must have a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours of cycle 1 Day 1.
- Male and female subjects of child-bearing potential must agree to use a double-barrier method of birth control from the screening visit through 180 days after the last dose of study drug.
- Male subjects of child-bearing potential must agree to use a double-barrier method of birth control including use a male condom (and should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak) and must agree to refrain from donating sperm from screening visit through at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
- Previously treated or asymptomatic brain metastases are allowed.
Exclusion criteria
- Unstable or clinically significant concurrent medical condition, psychiatric illness or social situation that would, in the opinion of the investigator, jeopardize the safety of a subject and/or their compliance with the protocol.
- Clinically significant acute infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy. (Suppressive therapy for chronic infections allowed, for example: Subjects with HIV/AIDS with adequate antiviral therapy to control viral load would be allowed. Subjects with viral hepatitis with controlled viral load would be allowed while on suppressive antiviral therapy.)
- Prior exposure to lurbinectedin, TMZ or stenoparib.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Clinical significant cardiovascular disease (ie active)
- Subject with known hypersensitivity to Stenoparib components
- Subject with known history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are excluded.
- Subject with QTc interval 470 for females, or 450 for males per electrocardiogram (EKG) at screening.

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.
