Summary description of the study

Multinational, multicenter, open-label Phase I/II study to investigate the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose of Lurbinectedin in combination with Irinotecan and to obtain information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.

(BASEC)

Intervention under investigation

In this clinical study, both Lurbinectedin (PM01183) and Irinotecan are administered in combination at an initial dose of 1.0 mg/m2 and 15 mg/m2. The total duration of the study will be approximately 90 months.

Disease under investigation

advanced solid tumors

(BASEC)

Criteria for participation in trial
1. For the Phase II expansion phase: Confirmed diagnosis in tissue or cells of an advanced stage of one of the following tumor types: a) Glioblastoma (aggressive form of central nervous system cancer); b) Soft tissue sarcoma - group of cancers that occur in the connective tissue of the body. Connective tissue connects, supports, and protects our body structures and organs. This includes fat, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. c) Endometrial carcinoma - type of cancer that begins in the uterus. d) SCLC (small cell lung carcinoma); e) Neuroendocrine tumors (any tumor arising from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) system and the nervous system). (BASEC)

Exclusion criteria
1. Previous treatment with Lurbinectedin, Trabectedin (Yondelis®) or topoisomerase I inhibitors (Irinotecan, Topotecan, etc.). Previous topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g., Irinotecan) are only allowed in patients with colorectal cancer or NEN. 2. Demonstrable spread of cancer cells to the brain or disease involvement of the two thin layers of tissue that envelop and protect the brain and spinal cord. Glioblastoma (cancer type that can occur in the brain or spinal cord) - lesions (primary or locally advanced) are allowed. Exception: Patients with demonstrable spread of cancer cells to the brain are eligible for inclusion, provided that stable disease has been demonstrated by radiological methods, i.e., there have been no signs of disease progression on repeated imaging for at least 4 weeks (the repeated imaging should be performed during the selection process for the study), the patients are clinically stable and not steroid-dependent.

Primary and secondary end points
Main Objective: -Phase I escalation stage: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of lurbinectedin in combination with irinotecan in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.
-Phase II expansion stage: To obtain information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.;Secondary Objective: -To determine the MTD and the RD of lurbinectedin in combination with irinotecan with or without primary prophylaxis with G-CSF in patients with SAST [if dose-limiting toxicities of the combination without G-CSF prophylaxis are exclusively related to neutropenia].
-To characterize the safety profile and feasibility of this combination in patients with SAST.
-To characterize the pharmacokinetics(PK) of this combination and to detect major drug-drug PK interactions.
-To obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity of this combination in non-heavily pretreated selected solid tumor patients.
