    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Phase 1: Determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of venetoclax with irinotecan in patients with relapsed or refractory SCLC
    Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of venetoclax in combination with irinotecan that is less than or equal to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). A 3+3 dose escalation design will be followed until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax has been determined. Patients assigned to a dose level of venetoclax greater than 50 mg will undergo a ramp-up phase during the first week of irinotecan
    Phase 2: Evaluate the efficacy of venetoclax with irinotecan in patients with relapsed or refractory SCLC
    The RP2D will be used in an expansion cohort based on a Simon's two-stage minimax design to evaluate efficacy.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Assess the frequency of adverse events (AEs)
    Assess adverse events (AEs) characterized and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE V 5.0) to determine safety and toxicity of the combination of venetoclax and irinotecan.
    Evaluate the antitumor effects of venetoclax and irinotecan in combination.
    Evaluate the anti tumor effects of tumor response based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
    Observe survival in relapsed or refractory SCLC patients receiving venetoclax in combination with irinotecan
    Progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with relapsed or refractory SCLC receiving venetoclax in combination with irinotecan

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This study is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase 1/2 trial designed to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of daily oral venetoclax when given in combination with irinotecan in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
    Detailed Description
    Irinotecan will be given at 60 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. A 3+3 dose escalation design will be followed until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax has been determined. Once the MTD is established, a RP2D that is the same as or less than the MTD will be determined. If no RP2D can be determined, the study will close to accrual. The RP2D will be used in an expansion cohort based on a Simon's two-stage minimax design to evaluate efficacy.
