Combination therapy of hSTC810 and paclitaxel for advanced small cell lung cancer

A Phase Ib/II Study of hSTC810 in Combination With Paclitaxel in Relapsed or Refractory Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional STCube, Inc. · NCT06016270

This study is testing a new combination of two drugs, hSTC810 and paclitaxel, to see if it can help people with advanced small cell lung cancer feel better and improve their treatment outcomes.

What this trial studies

This clinical study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hSTC810 in combination with paclitaxel for patients with relapsed or refractory extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The study is divided into two phases: Phase Ib focuses on determining the safety of the drug combination using a dose escalation design, while Phase II assesses the efficacy of the treatment using a Simon 2-stage method. Participants will receive either 400 mg or 800 mg of hSTC810 alongside a standard dose of paclitaxel.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory extensive stage small cell lung cancer after platinum-based chemotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with active leptomeningeal disease or uncontrolled central nervous system metastases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced small cell lung cancer who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel in combining hSTC810 with paclitaxel, similar studies have shown promise in treating small cell lung cancer with combination therapies.
