- Registration Number
- NCT04543916
- Lead Sponsor
- Virginia Commonwealth University
- Brief Summary
This study is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase 1/2 trial designed to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of daily oral venetoclax when given in combination with irinotecan in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
- Detailed Description
Irinotecan will be given at 60 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. A 3+3 dose escalation design will be followed until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax has been determined. Once the MTD is established, a RP2D that is the same as or less than the MTD will be determined. If no RP2D can be determined, the study will close to accrual. The RP2D will be used in an expansion cohort based on a Simon's two-stage minimax design to evaluate efficacy.

A 3+3 dose escalation design will be followed until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax has been determined. Patients assigned to a dose level of venetoclax greater than 50 mg will undergo a ramp-up phase during the first week of irinotecan
