Summary
This trial is testing nivolumab and temozolomide to see if they're effective in treating small-cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent or unresponsive small-cell lung cancer, or advanced neuroendocrine tumors. Participants must have measurable disease progression and be able to take oral medication. They should not have had certain treatments like temozolomide before, and those with serious health conditions such as active hepatitis, CNS metastases, or autoimmune diseases are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of nivolumab (an immunotherapy drug) and temozolomide (a chemotherapy drug) on patients. Nivolumab may boost the immune system's response against cancer cells while temozolomide aims to stop tumor growth by killing cells or preventing their division.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from immunotherapy such as fatigue, skin issues, inflammation in organs; and from chemotherapy like nausea, hair loss, blood cell count changes. Each patient's experience can vary based on individual health factors.
