Eligibility

Recruits 101 Vulnerable population selected. Participants must be able to understand and give written informed consent (inclusion criterion: "able to understand and give written informed consent"). Subject information and informed consent forms are provided (documents present) in multiple languages (Spanish, Italian, French, German). Minors are excluded (patients must be 18 years of age or older), therefore no assent procedures for children are described in the available documentation..

Pregnancy Exclusion

Vulnerable Population
Vulnerable population selected. Participants must be able to understand and give written informed consent (inclusion criterion: "able to understand and give written informed consent"). Subject information and informed consent forms are provided (documents present) in multiple languages (Spanish, Italian, French, German). Minors are excluded (patients must be 18 years of age or older), therefore no assent procedures for children are described in the available documentation.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria at screening/Day −1 to be eligible for participation in this study (no waivers for patient eligibility will be offered or permitted): 1) Female or male patients, 18 years of age or older, able to understand and give written informed consent.\n- Patients with HIV must be on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and have a well-controlled HIV infection/disease defined as: a) Patients on ART must have a CD4 + T-cell count > 350 cells/mm3 at time of screening. b) Patients on ART must have achieved and maintained virologic suppression defined as confirmed HIV RNA level below 50 copies/mL or the lower limit of qualification (below the limit of detection) using the locally available assay at the time of screening and for at least 12 weeks prior to screening. c) Patients on ART must have been on a stable regimen, without changes in drugs or dose modification, for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry. d) The combination ART regimen must not contain any medications that may interfere with SN-38 metabolism.\n- Male patients and female patients of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol-specified method(s) of contraception as described in Appendix 11.3.\n- Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.\n- Patients with the following pathologically documented NSCLC that meets all of the following criteria: a) Has documented evidence of Stage IV NSCLC disease at the time of enrollment (based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer, Eighth Edition). b) Has documented negative test results for EGFR and ALK. c) Has no known genomic alterations in ROS1, NTRK, BRAF, RET mutations, or other actionable driver oncogenes with approved therapies for frontline treatment (actionable genomic alteration). (Testing is not required if status is unknown.). d) Have provided tumor tissue from locations not radiated prior to biopsy. Formalin fixed specimens after the patient has been diagnosed with metastatic disease will be preferred for evaluation of Trop-2 expression and determination of PD-L1 status prior to enrollment if not already performed by an approved 22C3 assay. Biopsies obtained prior to receipt of adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be permitted if recent biopsy is not feasible. Bone biopsies and fine-needle aspirations are not suitable tissues. If no tissue is available, a new biopsy may be obtained prior to enrollment to the study.\n- Measurable disease by CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as per RECIST Version 1.1 criteria (see Appendix 11.6) by investigator. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. Historical images within 28 days of the screening visit may be accepted as a screening image if deemed acceptable in the opinion of the investigator.\n- No prior systemic treatment for mNSCLC. Patients who received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy are eligible if the adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy was completed at least 6 months prior to the development of metastatic disease for a platinum agent.\n- ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1 assessed within 7 days prior to treatment.\n- Adequate hematologic counts without transfusional or growth factor support within 10 days of study drug initiation (hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥ 1500/mm3, and platelets ≥ 100,000/μL).\n- Adequate hepatic function (bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN if known liver metastases, and serum albumin > 3 g/dL).\n- Creatinine clearance of at least 30 mL/min as assessed by the Cockcroft-Gault equation {Cockcroft 1976}. For patients assigned to cohorts with cisplatin, creatinine clearance must be at least 60 mL/min."}

  • {"criterion_text":"- Mixed SCLC and NSCLC histology.\n- Has received radiation therapy to the lung that is > 30 Gy within 6 months of the first treatment cycle.\n- Patients may not have received systemic anticancer treatment within the previous 6 months or radiation therapy within 2 weeks, or stereotactic radiosurgery within 72 hours prior to enrolment.\n- Have previously received treatment with any of the following: a) Topoisomerase 1 inhibitors. Any agent including an ADC containing a chemotherapeutic agent targeting topoisomerase 1. b) Trop-2-targeted therapy.\n- Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.\n- Clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (ie, pulmonary emboli within 3 months of enrollment, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion, etc); any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disorders with pulmonary involvement (ie, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, sarcoidosis, etc); or prior pneumonectomy.\n- Known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.\n- Active chronic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) or gastrointestinal (GI) perforation within 6 months of enrollment.\n- Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.\n- Active serious infection requiring antibiotics.\n- Patients positive for HIV-1 or 2 with a history of Kaposi sarcoma and/or multicentric Castleman disease.\n- Active second malignancy.\n- Active or chronic hepatitis B infection.

Recruitment

Planned Sample Size
101
Recruitment Window Months

Consent Approach
Written informed consent required from each participant (inclusion requires ability to understand and give written informed consent). Subject information and informed consent forms are available in multiple language versions (documents present in Spanish, Italian, French, German) including ICF main forms and optional/module-specific ICFs (eg, optional biopsy, optional genomics, treatment beyond progression). Minors are excluded (participants must be ≥18), so assent is not described.
