Study on Combining Iadademstat with Atezolizumab or Durvalumab to Improve Outcomes for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06287775

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment that combines the drug iadademstat with either atezolizumab or durvalumab to see if it can improve outcomes for patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread beyond the lungs. The study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of iadademstat when used with these immunotherapy drugs.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine if adding the drug iadademstat to the immunotherapy drugs atezolizumab or durvalumab can help control small cell lung cancer that has spread outside the lungs. Iadademstat may help stop cancer cells from growing by blocking certain enzymes, while atezolizumab and durvalumab help the immune system attack cancer cells. The study will test the safety, side effects, and best dose of this combination treatment.

Description

This study is divided into two phases: Phase I and Phase II.

In Phase I, researchers will test different doses of iadademstat to find the safest and most effective dose when combined with either atezolizumab or durvalumab. Patients will take iadademstat by mouth on specific days of each treatment cycle, while continuing their immunotherapy treatment through an IV. Each cycle lasts 28 days, and treatment continues as long as the cancer does not progress and side effects are manageable.

In Phase II, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive the combination of iadademstat and their initial immunotherapy treatment, while the other group will continue with their initial immunotherapy treatment alone. The goal is to compare how well the cancer is controlled in each group.

Throughout the study, patients will undergo various tests, including heart and brain scans, and provide blood and urine samples. An optional tumor biopsy may also be performed. After completing the study treatment, patients will have follow-up visits every three months for up to a year.
