Study start date: May 1, 2026

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study investigates a new treatment combination for patients with a specific type of lung cancer known as transformed small cell lung cancer. The trial aims to find the safest and most effective dose of two drugs, lurbinectedin and osimertinib, when used together. This is important because transformed small cell lung cancer can be particularly challenging to treat, and finding new ways to manage it could significantly improve outcomes for patients. Participants in the study receive lurbinectedin every 21 days and take osimertinib daily. The study carefully monitors participants for any side effects over a 21-day period to identify the highest dose that can be given safely. After determining the maximum safe dose, the study will include a few more participants to ensure the treatment's effectiveness. This approach helps researchers understand both the safety and potential benefits of the drug combination in managing this type of cancer.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

16 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria 1. ≥ 18 years old at the time of informed consent. 2. Ability to provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization. 3. Must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed transformation to small cell lung carcinoma/cancer. 4. Must have an initial diagnosis of EGFR altered (EGFR-mutated) non-small cell lung cancer and received EGFR targeted therapy (TKI) osimertinib, and does not demonstrate evidence of acquired molecular underpinnings (i.e., presence of a MET amplification \>6 copies or EGFR C797S) resulting in progression on osimertinib, aside from histologic transformation to small cell lung cancer. Interruptions of osimertinib prior to enrollment on study is permitted. Note: Tissue specimens from archival tissue are encouraged but not required for enrollment. 5. Patients who have received platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin)/etoposide after histologic transformation are permitted on study. Receipt of last cycle of therapy should be at least 3 weeks prior to initiation of treatment on study. Last exposure to immunotherapy such as anti-PD-L1 should be at least four weeks from treatment to initiation of treatment on study. Patients who decline to receive platinum/etoposide after SCLC transformation, for personal preferences or considered medical ineligible for this regimen, may be considered for this study, subject to investigator discretion. 6. Must have measurable disease per RECIST (version 1.1). 7. ECOG performance status ≤ 2. 8. Adequate laboratory functions on baseline testing within 21 days of enrollment, as defined as: a. Hematologic parameters: i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5x109/L ii. Platelet count (Plt) ≥ 100x109/L b. Hepatic parameters: i. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN); for patients with suspected/documented Gilbert's syndrome, total bilirubin ≤ 3x ULN. ii. AST ≤ 3x ULN. iii. ALT ≤ 3x ULN. c. Renal parameters: i. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, calculated per institutional standards) should be \> 30 mL/min. 9. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 21 days of protocol registration. Women are considered to have childbearing potential (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) unless they meet one of the following criteria: i. Has achieved menarche at some point; or ii. Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or iii. Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months). 10. Women of childbearing potential and men with any partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use 2 forms of effective contraception throughout the study and for 6 months after the last study treatment. Note: Acceptable methods of birth control include abstinence, partner with previous vasectomy, placement of an intrauterine device (IUD), condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, diaphragm or cervical vault cap, or hormonal birth control (pills or injections). 11. Male subjects must agree to refrain from donating sperm during the study and for 6 months after the last study treatment. Female subjects must agree to refrain from donating eggs during the study and for 6 months after the last study treatment. Exclusion Criteria 1. Patients who have tumors harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion alterations, EGFR C797S, or known mechanisms of resistance to osimertinib (i.e., MET amplification) aside from histologic transformation to SCLC. 2. Patients who are pregnant (treatment can cause fetal harm) and/or breastfeeding. 3. Symptomatic or unstable brain metastases, requiring \> 2 mg dexamethasone orally daily, or received palliative radiation to the CNS within 2 weeks of enrollment. 4. Patients with known history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis (\> grade 1) or ILD/pneumonitis (\> grade 1) related to antineoplastic drug treatment. 5. Prior history of documented Stephen Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), erythema multiforme major (EMM), or aplastic anemia on osimertinib. 6. History of congenital long QTc syndrome or mean resting QTc \>500 msec at screening with two replicated EKGs at baseline screening for the study. 7. History of ongoing unstable or uncontrolled cardiac conditions, including documented cardiomyopathy or symptomatic congestive heart failure (defined as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV). 8. Prior history of documented severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to osimertinib. 9. Prior history of documented aplastic anemia with osimertinib. 10. Prior history of documented allergic or anaphylactic reactions to inactive ingredients of lurbinectedin, including sucrose, lactic acid, and sodium hydroxide.
