NCT05099666

Brief Summary

This research study involves the study drug lurbinectedin in combination with doxorubicin. This research has two parts. The first part is being done to determine the tolerability of lurbinectedin with doxorubicin in people with soft tissue sarcoma. The second part is a randomized study to determine which is more effective at treating leiomyosarcoma, lurbinectedin with doxorubicin or lurbinectedin alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lurbinectedin with doxorubicin in participants with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma

    The MTD will be defined as the dose where less than 1 in 3 patients experience a DLT. At least 6 patients must be treated at this dose level. DLTs will be defined as toxicities experienced by participants enrolled to the phase 1b portion of the trial that are considered at least possibly related to the treatment regimen, occur during the first cycle of treatment.

    21 Days

  • PFS rate of lurbinectedin with doxorubicin compared to doxorubicin alone in participants with advanced LMS

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization (or registration) to the earlier of progression or death due to any cause. Participants alive without disease progression are censored at date of last disease evaluation.

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Disease Control Rate Phase 1b

  • Objective Response Phase 1b

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Lurbinectedin + Doxorubicin Phase I

EXPERIMENTAL

The phase 1b trial will follow a standard 3+3 design. Upon determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of lurbinectedin plus doxorubicin. A treatment cycle will be defined as 21 consecutive days. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis * Lurbinectedin * Doxorubicin

Drug: LurbinectedinDrug: Doxorubicin

Lurbinectedin + Doxorubicin at RP2D

EXPERIMENTAL

The randomized two arm phase 2 trial will begin following the determination of the RP2D for lurbinectedin and doxorubicin. * Participants will be randomized 1:1 to enroll to either Arm 1 or Arm 2 * Participants enrolled to Arm 1 will receive Lurbinectedin with Doxorubicin at the RP2D defined during the phase 1b portion of the trial.

Drug: LurbinectedinDrug: Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin Monotherapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The randomized two arm phase 2 trial will begin following the determination of the RP2D for lurbinectedin and doxorubicin. * Participants will be randomized 1:1 to enroll to either Arm 1 or Arm 2 * Participants enrolled to Arm 2 will receive Doxorubicin at the standard dose of 75 mg/m2

Drug: Doxorubicin

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • For Enrollment to Phase 1b: Participants must have histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma and no curative multimodality treatment options available.
  • For Enrollment to Phase 2: Participants must have histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic leiomyosarcoma (LMS) and no curative multimodality treatment options available.
  • Participants must have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria
  • Age ≥ 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of lurbinectedin in combination with doxorubicin in participants \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials.
  • ECOG performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%,).
  • Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥ 1,500/mcL
  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 8 g/dl (transfusion support permitted)
  • Platelet Count ≥ 100,000/mcL
  • Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • AST (SGOT) / ALT(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × institutional ULN, OR ≤ 5 × institutional ULN if elevation is a result of metastases
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × institutional ULN, OR Creatinine Clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for participants with creatinine levels above 1.5 × institutional normal (calculated via the Cockcroft-Gault equation)
  • Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)\< 2.5 × institutional ULN on two different determinations performed one week (± 1 day) apart
  • For participants with known chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
  • Participants with a known history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For participants with known HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.
  • +5 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants who have received prior anthracycline or trabectedin (Yondelis, ET-743), including prior exposure to doxorubicin or liposomal doxorubicin.
  • Participants who have received more than 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for the phase 1b study and no more than 1 prior line of cytotoxic chemotherapy for the phase 2 study. There is no limit on the number of prior lines of non-cytotoxic chemotherapy (e.g., pazopanib, immunotherapy).
  • Prior exposure to lurbinectedin (PM01183).
  • Participants who have received prior radiation treatment of \> 45 Gy to the pelvis.
  • Participants who have received or undergone prior chemotherapy within 14 days of cycle 1 day 1, therapeutic radiation therapy within 21 days of cycle 1 day 1 or major surgery within 21 days of cycle 1 day 1.
  • Participants who have received prior palliative radiation therapy within 7 days of cycle 1 day 1.
  • Participants who have received prior antibody-based therapy (e.g., nivolumab) within 4 weeks or 3 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of cycle 1 day 1.
  • Participants who have received prior oral small molecule or tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy within 2 weeks or 3 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of cycle 1 day 1.
  • Participants who have not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline from adverse events attributed to any prior anti-cancer therapy, with the exceptions of alopecia, controlled endocrine toxicity (e.g., hypothyroidism), and cutaneous toxicity which will be permitted at Grade 2.
  • Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Participants with known CNS disease involvement, with the exception of patients with brain metastases that have been previously treated and have remained stable on MRI ≥ 28 days prior to cycle 1 day 1 without use of steroids or anti-epileptic medications.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to lurbinectedin or doxorubicin.
  • Participants receiving any medications or substances that are strong or moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A, CYP2D6, or P-gp are ineligible. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the participant must be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the participant is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to: ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, chronic indwelling drains, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • History of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis.
