Study Summary

This trial is testing two different experimental treatments for small cell lung cancer that has returned after one other treatment. One experimental treatment is a single drug, and the other experimental treatment is a combination of two drugs. The trial will compare how well the experimental treatments work to a standard treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with small-cell lung cancer who've had one prior platinum-based chemotherapy can join this trial. They must have good organ function, no recent serious heart issues or uncontrolled infections, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants need to agree to use effective contraception and should not have been treated with certain drugs like lurbinectedin before.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The LAGOON trial is testing the effectiveness of Lurbinectedin alone (Group A) or combined with Irinotecan (Group B), compared to the standard treatment choice of Topotecan or Irinotecan (Group C). This phase III study randomly assigns patients to these groups in an open-label setting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, liver enzyme changes, shortness of breath from lung inflammation, allergic reactions and potential for other drug-specific adverse effects.
