Summary

This trial is testing a combination of drugs to see if it can help people with small cell lung cancer or tumors resistant to PARP inhibitors.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain advanced cancers, including small cell lung cancer and solid tumors resistant to PARP inhibitors. Participants must have a lesion safe for biopsy, measurable disease, stable brain metastases if present, good organ function, and no major treatments within specific time frames before the trial. They should not have severe genetic disorders affecting drug processing or uncontrolled illnesses that could hinder compliance.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a combination of two drugs: Sacituzumab Govitecan and Berzosertib in patients with aggressive cancers like small cell lung cancer. The goal is to find a safe dosage that can shrink these tumors. Patients will receive the drugs intravenously on set days over 21-day cycles as long as they benefit without intolerable side effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the infusion site, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, fatigue, heart issues due to EKG changes, allergic responses similar to other chemotherapy agents used in this study.
