IN10018 Combination Therapy in Treatment-naïve ES-SCLC

This is a multicenter, open-label, Randomized, phase Ib/II clinical study to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy, safety, tolerability, and PK of IN10018 in combination with anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibody (Tislelizumab is proposed as the combination drug) and chemotherapy (platinum and etoposide) as the first-line treatment in Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

This study consists of 2 parts: 1) Phase Ib-Dose Confirmation part: To assess the PK parameters, safety and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of IN10018 in combination with anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibody (Tislelizumab is proposed as the combination drug), platinum (carboplatin is proposed as the combination drug) and etoposide as the first-line treatment in ES-SCLC. 2) Phase II-Dose Expansion part: To assess the antitumor efficacy, safety and tolerability in the experimental group of IN10018 in combination with Tislelizumab, carboplatin and etoposide as compared to the control group of Tislelizumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide as the first-line treatment in ES-SCLC.
