Brief summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study of lurbinectedin monotherapy in participants with advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) solid tumors.

Detailed description

This phase 2, multicenter, open-label study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of lurbinectedin monotherapy in 3 cohorts of participants with high-unmet medical need: advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) urothelial cancer (UC), poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PD-NEC), and a homologous recombination deficient-positive malignancies agnostic cohort.

Investigator-Assessed Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v.1.1

The ORR is defined as the proportion of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is investigator-assessed confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using the RECIST v1.1 criteria. BOR is defined as the best response recorded between the date of first dose and the date of objectively documented progression per RECIST v1.1, or the date of subsequent anticancer therapy, death due to any cause, loss to follow-up, or study discontinuation, whichever occurs first.

Time frame: Baseline to disease progression or death, up to 36 weeks.

Population: Assessed in participants with available data in the Efficacy Analysis Set. To be included in the Efficacy Analysis Set, participant must have a measurable disease at baseline and one of the following: a) at least 1 post-baseline tumor assessment, b) clinical progression, or c) death. One participant in the HRD Cohort was not included in the Efficacy Analysis Set due to not meeting the criteria.
