Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial will evaluate the combination of quaratusugene ozeplasmid with atezolizumab as maintenance therapy for patients with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC).

The study is comprised of 2 phases, a dose selection phase (Phase 1) and a safety and efficacy evaluation phase (Phase 2).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acclaim-3 is an open-label, multi-center, Phase 1/2 study evaluating the combination of quaratusugene ozeplasmid with atezolizumab as maintenance therapy for patients with ES-SCLC who did not develop tumor progression after receiving at least 3 cycles, and no more than 4 cycles, of induction therapy with carboplatin plus etoposide and atezolizumab.

Toxicities will be assessed by the Investigator using United States National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Serious Adverse Events and Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) will be reviewed by a safety review committee.

Phase 1: Enrollment in Phase 1 is complete and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of quaratusugene ozeplasmid when given in combination with atezolizumab was determined.

Phase 2: Enrollment has been initiated and enrolled patients are treated with quaratusugene ozeplasmid at the RP2D in combination with atezolizumab.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Phase 1

Up to 2 sequential dose selection cohorts will be treated with quaratusugene ozeplasmid (intravenous (IV) administration once every 21 days) plus atezolizumab (1200 mg IV administration once every 21 days) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quaratusugene ozeplasmid doses will be evaluated (0.09 \[starting dose\], and 0.12 mg/kg) until the RP2D is identified.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

quaratusugene ozeplasmid

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Quaratusugene ozeplasmid is an experimental nonviral immunogene therapy utilizing the TUSC2 gene, designed to target cancer cells by interrupting cell signaling pathways that allow cancer cells to grow, reestablishing pathways that promote cancer cell death and modulating the immune response against cancer cells.

atezolizumab

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Atezolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that belongs to a class of drugs that binds to the programmed death-receptor 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, thereby removing inhibition of the immune response, potentially breaking peripheral tolerance and inducing immune-mediated adverse reactions.

Phase 2

Patients will be treated with the RP2D of quaratusugene ozeplasmid (IV administration once every 21 days) plus atezolizumab (1200 mg IV administration once every 21 days) or atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs (15 mL subcutaneous \[SQ\] administration once every 21 days) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Asymptomatic brain metastases must meet ALL criteria of the following (a-d):

1. No history of seizures in the preceding six months.
2. Definitive treatment must be completed ≥21 days prior to enrollment.
3. Must be off steroids administered because of brain metastases or related symptoms for ≥7 days.
