Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed, extensive-stage, chemotherapy-naïve SCLC
- DLL3-expressing SCLC based on central immunohistochemistry (IHC) assessment. Positive is defined as staining in ≥75% of tumor cells.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1.
- Minimum life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Recovery to Grade 1 of any clinically significant toxicity (excluding alopecia) prior to initiation of study drug.
- Satisfactory laboratory parameters within defined parameters (ANC, platelet count, Hb, total bilirubin, ALT, AST and GFR)
- Subjects with a history of CNS metastases must have completed definitive treatment prior to first dose of study treatment, off or on a stable dose of corticosteroids
- Use of effective contraception method during and for 1 year following study drug dosing if female of childbearing potential or sexually active male
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior systemic chemotherapy, small molecule inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, other monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, radioimmunoconjugates, T-cell or other cell-based or biologic therapies, or any other anticancer therapy for the treatment of (limited or extensive) SCLC.
- Any significant medical condition, that, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, may place the subject at undue risk from the study.
- Documented history of a cerebral vascular, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or cardiac symptoms consistent with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV within 6 months prior to their first dose of study drug.
- Recent or ongoing serious infection.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- History of another invasive malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 3 years. Exceptions: nonmelanoma skin cancer, curatively treated localized prostate cancer, and cervical cancer in situ on biopsy or squamous intraepithelial lesion on PAP smear.
- Prior exposure to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD)-based drug, or known hypersensitivity to rovalpituzumab tesirine or excipient contained in the drug formulation
