Testing the Combination of an Anti-cancer Drug, Iadademstat, With Other Anti-cancer Drugs (Atezolizumab or Durvalumab) at Improving Outcomes for Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT06287775)

A Phase I Dose Finding and Phase II Randomized Trial of Iadademstat Combined With Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Maintenance After Initial Chemoimmunotherapy in Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

🟢 Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iadademstat when given together with atezolizumab or durvalumab, and studies the effect of the combination in treating patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lung in which it began or to other parts of the body (extensive stage) who initially received standard of care chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Iadademstat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab or durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding iadademstat to either atezolizumab or durvalumab may be able to stabilize cancer for longer than atezolizumab or durvalumab alone in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Patients who receive maintenance ICI therapy prior to cycle 1, day 1
  • Patients medicated with anti-depressants reported to have KDM1A/LSD1 inhibitory activity: Tranylcypromine or phenelzine
  • Patients who have not recovered from grade ≥2 adverse events (AEs) due to prior anti-cancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria.
  • Patients with grade ≥ 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the study physician
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents or any other agent administered for the treatment of the patient's cancer within four half-lives or 4 weeks prior to registration, whichever is shorter
  • Treatment with systemic immunostimulatory agents (including, but not limited to, interferon \[IFN\]-α or interleukin \[IL\]-2) within 4 weeks or five half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) prior to cycle 1, day 1
  • Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications (including, but not limited to, prednisone, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumor necrosis factor \[anti-TNF\] agents) within 2 weeks prior to registration or anticipation of need for systemic immunosuppressive medication during study treatment, with the following exceptions:
  • Patients who have received acute, low dose, systemic immunosuppressant medications or one-time pulse dose of systemic immunosuppressant medication (e.g., 48 hours of corticosteroids for a contrast allergy) are eligible after Principal Investigator confirmation has been obtained.
  • Patients who have received mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone), corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, or low-dose corticosteroids for orthostatic hypotension or adrenocortical insufficiency are eligible
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to iadademstat, atezolizumab, or durvalumab. In particular, a history of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric antibodies, fusion proteins, or Chinese hamster ovary cell products or to any component of the atezolizumab formulation
  • Atezolizumab Concomitant Medication Considerations: Patients are not allowed to receive immunostimulatory agents, immunosuppressive medications, or herbal and natural remedies
