SNB-101 for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer

A Phase 1b/2, Open-Label, Multi-center Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of SNB-101, in Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

This trial tests SNB-101 given by IV every two weeks to see if it's safe and to find the best dose for adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy.

Quick facts

• Phase: Phase1; Phase2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 55 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years and up
• Sex: All
• Sponsor: SN BioScience (Industry-sponsored)
• Drugs / interventions: atezolizumab, durvalumab, lapatinib, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation
• Locations: 1 site (Kamenitz)
• Trial ID: NCT07391813 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

Phase 1 will determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of SNB-101, while Phase 2 will identify the optimal dose for further research and gather additional PK and safety data. Eligible adults with locally advanced or metastatic small cell lung cancer not suitable for complete surgical resection and who have progressed after platinum-plus-etoposide (with or without atezolizumab or durvalumab) receive SNB-101 by intravenous infusion on Day 1 and Day 15 of each treatment cycle. Patients undergo regular clinical monitoring, laboratory testing, and imaging per RECIST 1.1 to track disease status and adverse events. The trial is sponsored by SN BioScience and conducted at The Institute for Pulmonary Diseases of Vojvodina.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults (≥18) with cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic small cell lung cancer not suitable for complete surgical resection, who progressed after platinum-plus-etoposide therapy (with or without atezolizumab or durvalumab), have measurable or evaluable disease, ECOG ≤1, life expectancy >12 weeks, and adequate organ function are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients who are candidates for curative surgery, have poor performance status (ECOG ≥2), inadequate organ function, or who have not received prior platinum-based therapy are unlikely to benefit or may be ineligible.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SNB-101 could become a new treatment option that controls disease with manageable side effects for patients whose small cell lung cancer has progressed after standard therapy.

How similar studies have performed: SNB-101 is largely experimental in this setting; other early-phase trials of new agents in extensive-stage SCLC have produced occasional responses but no consistent, durable breakthroughs to date.
