NCT ID NCT06612151

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Phase 3 study compares a new drug called YL201 to the standard treatment topotecan in 438 adults with relapsed small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if YL201 helps people live longer. Participants receive either YL201 by infusion every three weeks or topotecan by injection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
YL201
What this could lead to
If YL201 works better than topotecan, it could offer a new treatment option for people with relapsed small cell lung cancer, potentially extending survival.
What could go wrong
This is still an experimental drug in a Phase 3 trial. It may not prove superior to the existing treatment, and side effects are unknown at this stage.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Sign and date the informed consent form prior to the start of any study-specific qualification procedures. 2. Aged ≥18 and ≤75 years, male or female. 3. ECOG PS 0 or 1. 4. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months. 5. Histologically or cytologically confirmed SCLC. Subjects with combined SCLC or any transformed SCLC are not eligible. 6. Has limited-stage or extensive-stage disease at study entry, with progression on or after first-line platinum-based therapy (at least 2 cycles). 7. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST version 1.1. 8. Subjects are willing to provide tumor tissue (freshly obtained or archived) for detection of B7-H3 expression. 9. Adequate organ function. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of other malignant tumors within 5 years prior to the first dose of study drug. Subjects cured by radical treatment are not included, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, superficial bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or breast cancer in situ. 2. Previously received B7-H3-targeted therapy, including antibody, antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T). 3. Previously received treatment with a topoisomerase I inhibitor or an ADC consisting of a topoisomerase I inhibitor. 4. Inadequate washout period for prior anti-tumor treatment before the first dose of study drug. 5. Received systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive therapy within 2 weeks before the first dose of study drug. 6. Received any live vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug or intend to receive a live vaccine during the study. 7. Presence of brain stem or meningeal metastases, spinal cord metastases or compression. 8. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Participants with treated brain metastases are eligible if the metastases are asymptomatic and stable, and no immediate local or systemic treatment is needed within 2 weeks before the first dose. 9. Presence of pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites with clinical symptoms or requiring repeated drainage. 10. Has an uncontrolled concurrent disease. 11. Presence of severe uncontrolled cardiovascular disorder. 12. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that required corticosteroids, or current ILD/pneumonitis 13. Concomitant pulmonary disorder leading to clinically severe respiratory impairment. 14. Chronic autoimmune or inflammatory diseases requiring or receiving systemic therapy within 2 years prior to the first dose. 15. Serious infections within 4 weeks prior to the first dose. 16. Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. 17. Unresolved toxicities from previous antitumor therapy. 18. Known hypersensitivity to any component of any study drug; history of severe allergy or known history of serious hypersensitivity to other monoclonal antibodies or recombinant protein products, or history of severe infusion reactions. 19. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or women planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study. 20. Any illness, medical condition, organ system dysfunction, or social situation deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's ability to sign informed consent, adversely affect the subject's ability to cooperate and participate in the study, or compromise the interpretation of study results.
