About this trial
This is a single center pilot, phase Ib study with a safety lead-in evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of the EBP inhibitor DSP-0390 in combination with atezolizumab in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) whose disease has not progressed after initial induction therapy with platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy (atezolizumab or durvalumab per treating physician's discretion). This trial is testing the hypothesis that inhibition of de novo cholesterol synthesis by DSP-0390 when used in combination with atezolizumab in the maintenance therapy of patients with ES-SCLC will be tolerable.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Histologically or cytologically confirmed small cell lung cancer.
Completed 3-4 cycles of induction chemoimmunotherapy as first line treatment of ES-SCLC without disease progression.
Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1.
At least 18 years of age.
Disqualifiers
Prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. Patients with prior or concurrent malignancy that does NOT meet that definition (following discussion with the PI) are eligible for this trial
Currently receiving any other investigational agents, or received within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 (unless investigational immunotherapy, which may not have been received within 6 weeks prior to Day 1).
Patients with untreated symptomatic brain metastases or with clinically evident CNS hemorrhage. Patients with treated brain metastases are allowed if post-treatment brain-imaging after CNS-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression. Patients with asymptomatic, punctate brain metastases < 5 mm are allowed.
Known contraindications to use of PD-L1 inhibitor as assessed by the treating physician.

Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
DSP-0390
DrugPatients should take DSP-0390 once a day at approximately the same time every day. DSP-0390 may be taken before or after atezolizumab on days when both drugs are given.
Atezolizumab
DrugAtezolizumab will be given per standard of care. FDA-approved dosing is 1200 mg intravenously (IV) every three weeks.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Treatment-emergent adverse events will be assessed according to CTCAE v 6.0
Incidence of treatment-related adverse events
Treatment-related adverse events will be assessed according to CTCAE v 6.0
Secondary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as incidence of Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria. RECIST 1.1 criteria are outlined below. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
