LIXTE Pipeline Clinical Trials

LB-100 + Chemotherapy

Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma

NCT05809830

Rationale

  • ASTS is also a highly aggressive cancer with no effective treatment
  • A single drug, doxorubicin, has been the standard Rx for over 40 years
  • In animal models of ASTS, LB-100 markedly improves the effectiveness of doxorubicin
  • Phase II, Only patients with ASTS subtypes that progress on average within 4.5 months of starting treatment are entered

Study Design

Phase 2 Trial in
Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma (ASTS)
(NCT05809830)

Phase I: To define the safety of combining LB-100 with doxorubicin: one year of accrual.

Phase II: Untreated patients randomized to standard therapy with doxorubicin +/- LB-100 (maximum 150 patients) Readout: increased progression free survival from 4.5 to 7.5 months

Multi-center study in collaboration with Grupo Español de Investigación en Sarcomas (GEIS) (PI: Javier Martín Broto MD, Madrid) (12 sites in Spain)

Study open, first patient entered in June 2023

LB-100 + Chemotherapy

Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT04560972

Rationale

  • SCLC, the most aggressive form of lung cancer, has limited response to the current “best” therapy,
  • Previously untreated extensive stage SCLC shows a median time to progression of 5.2 months and a median overall survival of 12.3 months.
  • LB-100 exhibits activity as a standalone treatment in animal models of SCLC and increases efficacy of the standard regimen

Study Design

Phase 1b
Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
(NCT04560972)

Dr. Ravi Salgia, Chief of Medical Oncology and lung cancer expert at the City of Hope Cancer Center, is leading a Phase1b trial to test whether LB-100 improves standard therapy of previously untreated SCLC.

After the maximally tolerated dose of LB-100 is established when added to standard therapy, 12 patients will be treated at that dose to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

Multi-center study in collaboration with the City of Hope Cancer Center and the Sarah Cannon Research Institute.

LB-100 + Immunotherapy

Ovarian Clear Cell Cancer

NCT06065462

Rationale

  • Ovarian Clear Cell Cancer (OCCC) with acquired mutations reducing PP2A activity are more sensitive to immunotherapy
  • If LB-100 pharmacologic inhibition of PP2A mimics the effect of mutational reduction in PP2A, LB-100 is expected to enhance immunotherapy in OCCC tumors that do not have mutation

Study Design

Phase 2
Ovarian Clear Cell Cancer (OCCC)
(NCT06065462)

A Phase 2 collaborative clinical trial to assess whether adding Lixte’s LB-100 to GSK’s programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking monoclonal antibody, dostarlimab, may enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in the treatment of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).

The clinical trial is sponsored by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and will be conducted at MD Anderson and at Northwestern University’s Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Aim is to enroll a total of 21 patients; patients will be treated up to 24 months or until disease progression.
