Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug, Lurbinectedin, in combination with another cancer drug, irinotecan. The trial will have two parts: first, they will test different doses of the drugs to see what is safe; then, they will expand the trial to include more people.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain advanced solid tumors who've had a break from cancer treatments for at least three weeks, are in fairly good health (ECOG ≤ 1), and have a life expectancy of over three months. They must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and should use effective contraception. Excluded are those with active COVID-19, prior significant bone marrow treatments, known brain metastases, or allergies to study drugs.
What is being tested?
This is an early-phase trial testing the combination of two cancer drugs: Lurbinectedin and Irinotecan. It's divided into two parts: first finding the right doses (Phase I) and then expanding to more patients at that dose (Phase II).
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to drug infusion, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea and diarrhea, lowered blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver function changes, and potential allergic reactions.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Lurbinectedin Escalation GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Irinotecan 75 mg/m\^2 as a 90-min (-5-min/+30-min) intravenous (i.v.) infusion, followed by Lurbinectedin with starting dose of 1.0 mg/m\^2 as a 60-min (-5-min/+20-min) i.v. infusion followed by Irinotecan alone on Day 8 (at the same dose as Day 1 and as a 90-min \[-5-min/+30-min\] i.v. infusion)
Group II: Irinotecan Escalation GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Starting dose of Irinotecan 15 mg/m\^2 as a 90-min (-5-min/+30-min) i.v. infusion, followed by Lurbinectedin 3.0 mg/m\^2 as a 60-min (-5-min/+20-min) i.v. infusion followed by Irinotecan alone on Day 8 (at the same dose as Day 1 and as a 90-min \[-5-min/+30-min\] i.v. infusion).
Group III: Intermediate Escalation GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Starting dose of Irinotecan 50 mg/m\^2 as a 90-min (-5-min/+30-min) i.v. infusion, followed by Lurbinectedin 2.6 mg/m\^2 as a 60-min (-5-min/+20-min) i.v. infusion. No Irinotecan dose will be administered on Day 8 in this group.
