Summary

This is an open-label Phase I/II study, with a dose escalation part (Phase I) and a single-arm part (Phase II), in patients with recurrent SCLC who progressed after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and who are candidates for second line therapy. No PK evaluation is planned in this study as nivolumab and ipilimumab are unlikely to alter plinabulin's PK, since the route of excretion is different.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Nivolumab

A fully human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1,PCD-1,) with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities.

DRUG

Plinabulin

Plinabulin (BPI-2358) is a synthetic, low molecular weight, new chemical entity originally developed by Nereus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now by BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It belongs to the diketopiperazine class of compounds with a chemical name 2, 5-piperazinedione, 3-\[\[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl\[methylene\]-6-(phenylmethylene)-, (3Z,6Z) (trivial name t-butyl-dehydrophenylahistin).

DRUG

Ipilimumab

Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody that works to activate the immune system by targeting CTLA-4, a protein receptor that downregulates the immune system.
