About This Trial

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2, open-label, dose escalation, dose expansion and combination study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of Peluntamig (PT217) as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 203 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Key Inclusion Criteria 1. NECs that have transformed from NSCLC are not eligible. Part A: Patients with diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) unresectable advanced or metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung (LCNEC), or extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma (EP-NEC). Patients with tumors that are of mixed histology are eligible only if neuroendocrine carcinoma/small cell cancer component is predominant and represents at least 50% of the overall tumor tissue. Patients with well differentiated grade 3 neuroendocrine tumors (Ki-67 ≥ 55%) may be considered if their tumors are DLL3 positive. Patients may have progressed after standard of care treatments (at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immune checkpoint inhibitor for SCLC patients) or other treatment options, or for whom treatment is not available or not tolerated. Part B: Patients must meet the same criteria in Part A, C or D. Part C: • Cohort C1: patients with LCNEC or EP-NEC eligible for first-line (1L) CE treatment. SCLC patients who have relapsed on a 1L treatment (including platinum-based therapy with or without ICI) but remain platinum sensitive (defined as patients who experienced disease progression at least 90 days after their last platinum based chemotherapy) and are eligible for CE treatment rechallenge. Cohort C2: patients with SCLC, LCNEC and EP-NEC eligible for second line (2L) paclitaxel treatment. Part D: - Cohort D1: will include 2L patients with SCLC, LCNEC, pr EP-NEC that have progressed/relapsed from their first-line treatment that may have included an ICI. - Cohort D2: will include 1L ES-SCLC patients that have completed their induction therapy with carboplatin and etoposide plus atezolizumab and are eligible to continue with atezolizumab. These patients must have either stable disease or partial response prior to enrollment. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
