Palliative Radiotherapy with Lurbinectedin in Patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Exploring new cancer treatment for advanced small cell lung cancer.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 1

This study is testing if it's safe to use two treatments together for lung cancer that has spread. **Lurbinectedin** is a medicine that kills cancer cells by stopping them from making proteins they need to grow. **Palliative radiotherapy** is a type of radiation that helps with cancer symptoms. The study wants to know if using these treatments at the same time works better than using them alone. Researchers will check if there are more side effects when they are used together.

  • The study lasts about 21 days with follow-ups up to 12 months.
  • Patients receive radiation treatment daily and lurbinectedin every 21 days.
  • Participants must agree to certain safety rules, like using birth control.

For patients to join, they need to be over 18, have specific blood test results, and have cancer that has spread. They cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. This study helps doctors learn if combining the treatments is safe and effective.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
