Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AL8326 tablets in patients with advanced or recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after at least prior second-line treatment.

Who can participate?
Patients with advanced or recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after at least prior second-line treatment.

What does the study involve?
Eligible patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive AL8326 tablets or placebo (dummy pill). AL8326 tablets and placebo will be administered orally once daily in 28-day as one cycle until intolerable toxicity, or confirmed disease progression, or death, or
voluntary withdrawal or treatment for up to 12 months (approximately 13 cycles). Patients will have a final visit (28 days ± 7 days) after the last dose, or 12 months (approximately 13 cycles) of treatment (± 7 days), or before initiation of other antineoplastic therapy, or withdrawal, whichever came first. Patients then will enter the long-term follow-up period and will have telephone calls every 2-4 months for 1 year, then every 4-5 months for 2 years, and finally every 6-8 months for study survival follow-up.
Patients who have good response at the end of the treatment can remain on the study on blinded treatment on compassionate grounds.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
According to the ongoing clinical trial program of AL8326 tablets and marketed drugs of the similar type, the possible common adverse reactions are: Hypertension, Proteinuria and nephrotoxicity, adverse changes in blood chemistry parameters (AST/ ALT, Lipase, amylase, Triglyceride, Bilirubin) Hand-foot syndrome, GI toxicity ( Nausea, Vomiting, lower appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea), GI haemorrhage, TSH increased or hypothyrodism, Hematologic Toxicity (Leukopenia, Neutropenia, Anemia, Thrombocytopenia. More detailed information is provided in the current Investigator 's Brochure. The investigator may adjust the dose of investigational product on a case-by-case
basis in case of intolerance. Adverse events should be monitored closely during the clinical study and dosing could be adjusted as needed to allow subjects to tolerate treatment. Adverse reactions caused by the investigational product can be managed by symptomatic treatment, discontinuation and/or dose adjustment.

Where is the study run from?

To evaluate the progression free survival (PFS) and other efficacies of AL8326 tablets as monotherapy in patients with recurrent or advanced small cell lung cancer after second-line or more systemic therapy.

Safety objective:
To evaluate the safety of AL8326 tablets as monotherapy in patients with recurrent or progressed small cell lung cancer after second-line or greater systemic therapy.
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 28/03/2024, Wales Research Ethics Committee 2 Cardiff (Health and Care Research Wales, Castlebridge 5, 15-19 Cowbridge Road, East Cardiff, CF11 9AB, United Kingdom; +44 (0)2922941119, (0)2922 940971, (0)2922 940959; Wales.REC2@wales.nhs.uk), ref: 23/WA/0329

ConditionSmall Cell Lung Cancer
InterventionThis is a randomized, double-blind, 2:1 placebo-controlled Phase III Small Cell Lung Cancer trial conducted in multiple UK centres, looking into effect of AL8326 tablets in comparison to standard of care patients who completed at least two lines of anticancer treatment. AL8326 Tablets/Placebo treatment has oral administration, once daily for 28 consecutive days as a treatment cycle, starting at 60 mg each time. Subjects receive study drug (AL8326 tablets/placebo) at the time of investigational product treatment for up to 12 months (approximately 13 cycles) or disease progression during the study or may benefit from subsequent treatment as assessed by the investigator and may continue to receive subsequent blinded drug upon discussion between the investigator and the sponsor. Following completion of the final visit, subjects will be followed for OS. The research team will perform telephone calls every 2-4 months for 1 year after the final visit (whichever is last dose date if final visit is not performed), then every 4-5 months for 2 years, and finally every 6-8 months for study survival. Randomisation 2 (AL8326) to 1 (placebo) uses two stratification factors: Prior use of PD1/PD-L1 (Yes/No) and Brain metastases (Yes/No). The central randomization system will be used, and the randomization specialist completes the generation of the randomization table using SAS software and imports it into the central randomization system. After obtaining the sponsor’s approval, the investigator logs in the interactive web response system (IWRS) and enters the information of enrolled subjects. The system gives the corresponding medication number according to the randomization table. Site personnel will confirm that they have found the correct investigational product packaging by obtaining the number through the IWRS. Subject randomization numbers will be assigned sequentially according to the order in which subjects are enrolled. The start date of treatment should occur as soon as possible within 7 days of the subject 's randomization.

Primary outcome measureOverall survival: defined as the time from randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
Secondary outcome measures1. Progression-free survival (PFS): Refers to the period of time from the date of randomization until the first observation of disease progression per RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier.
2. Objective response rate (ORR): the proportion of subjects who achieve CR and PR according to RECIST 1.1.
3. Duration of response (DOR): refers to the time from the first tumor assessment of CR or PR to the first tumor assessment of PD or death from any cause.
4. Disease Control Rate (DCR): The proportion of subjects who achieve CR, PR, and SD.
5. Safety will be evaluated by changes in AEs, ECOG score, body weight, physical examination, vital signs and laboratory tests (blood routine, blood biochemistry, coagulation function, urine routine, thyroid function, stool routine, serum amylase, myocardial enzyme, etc.) and ECG
6. Sparse PK samples will be collected from all subjects who have received study drug (AL8326 tablets/placebo) for population pharmacokinetic analysis.
