A Phase I Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of SGI-110 Followed by Combined Durvalumab Plus Tremelimumab in Subjects With Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)
The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of investigational agents is safe
to give to people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after standard chemotherapy has been
attempted. Subjects enrolled in this trial will receive 3 investigational drugs: SGI-110
(guadecitabine), durvalumab (MEDI4736) and tremelimumab.
to give to people with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after standard chemotherapy has been
attempted. Subjects enrolled in this trial will receive 3 investigational drugs: SGI-110
(guadecitabine), durvalumab (MEDI4736) and tremelimumab.
SCLC accounts for approximately 15% of new cases of lung cancer, and an estimated 33,000
cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States in 2016. Compared to NSCLC, SCLC
typically has a more rapid doubling time, a higher growth fraction, and earlier development
of distant metastases. Patients with limited stage (LS) disease are treated with curative
intent using definitive, concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy. For patients with
extensive stage (ES) disease, systemic chemotherapy can prolong survival in most cases,
however long-term survival is rare. Despite the activity of several agents in SCLC, an
etoposide plus platinum (i.e. cisplatin) doublet regimen remains the standard of care in the
first-line setting because of its higher activity compared to other chemotherapy regimens, as
well as the ease of combining it with radiation. Initial response rates may be as high as
70-90% in LS-SCLC and 50-70% in ES-SCLC. However, the disease typically recurs rapidly which
is reflected by median survival rates of 9 to 11 months for ES-SCLC and a 2-year survival
rate of less than 5%.
This study has a 3 + 3 design that will be used to assess the safety of SGI-110 given prior
to flat doses of durvalumab (1500 mg) and tremelimumab (75 mg). The starting dose of SGI-110
will be 30 mg/m2 (dose level 0) and the target dose that is predicted to be safe and most
effective will be 45 mg/m2 (dose level 1). These doses have been chosen based on safety and
efficacy data from phase 1 clinical trials in other solid tumors, as described above.
Patients enrolled in any given dose level will be evaluated for safety (adverse events
monitoring) and efficacy. There will be mandatory pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies
performed in alternating fashion on cycle 1 day 8 +/- 2 days or cycle 2 day 8 +/- 2 days. The
dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period will last for 4 weeks (28 days) and ends on
C2D1. Delayed serious immune-mediated adverse events will also be monitored but will not be
considered dose limiting toxicities.

6. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male
partner must use a highly effective method of contraception from the time of
screening, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 180 days after the
final dose of investigational product. Cessation of contraception after this point
should be discussed with a responsible physician. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm
method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female
subjects must also refrain from egg cell donation for 180 days after the final dose of
investigational product.
A) Females of childbearing potential are defined as those who are not surgically
sterile (i.e. bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or complete
hysterectomy) or those who are not postmenopausal (defined as 12 months with no menses
with postmenopausal gonadotropin levels [luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating
hormone], or estradiol levels within the postmenopausal range according to local
guidelines without an alternative medical cause).
B) A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that results in a low
failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.
7. Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study
including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow
