Study Summary

This phase II clinical trial will study the safety and efficacy of onvansertib to treat patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have either not responded to or are unable to tolerate chemotherapy. Onvansertib is a drug that inhibits polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1), an enzyme that is over-expressed in many cancer cells and is involved in cellular repair.

Primary Outcome

The proportion of patients having either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (as best response), per RECIST 1.1. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. For non-target lesions, CR is the disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.
