Abstract

Lurbinectedin is an inhibitor of active transcription of protein-coding genes, causing DNA-break accumulation, apoptosis and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. Early-phase clinical trials indicate promising activity of lurbinectedin in small-cell lung cancer. Here, we describe the rationale and design of ATLANTIS (NCT02566993), an open-label, randomized, multicenter Phase III study to compare the efficacy of lurbinectedin and doxorubicin combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy, investigator's choice of cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine or topotecan, in patients with small-cell lung cancer that has progressed following one line of platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio. The primary end point is overall survival and key secondary end points include progression-free survival, best tumor response and duration of response, each assessed by independent review committee.
