Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Background: Small cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCCB) and other high-grade neuroendocrine tumors (HGNET) of the urinary tract are rare but aggressive cancers. Average survival for people diagnosed with SCCB or HGNET is about 1 year. Lurbinectedin and avelumab are drugs that are approved to treat other cancers. Researchers want to see if these drugs can help people with SCCB or HGNET. Objective: To test lurbinectedin with or without avelumab in people with SCCB or HGNET. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older with SCBB or HGNET that returned and spread after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will have blood tests and imaging scans. They may need to have a new biopsy: A small needle will be used to collect a tissue sample from the tumor. Both study drugs are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. If participants have already received a drug like avelumab they will receive only lurbinectedin. If patients have not been previously treated with a drug like avelumab they will receive both lurbinectedin and avelumab. All participants will receive their treatment once every 3 weeks for up to 10 years. They will also receive other drugs to relieve adverse effects. Biopsies, blood tests, and imaging scans will be repeated during some study visits. Participants may also have urine tests and tests of their heart function. Participants may remain in the study as long as the treatment is helping them. If they stop treatment, they will have safety visits 14, 30, and 90 days after their last dose. Additional follow-up visits will continue 5 to 10 years.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 120 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic small cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCCB) or other high grade neuroendocrine tumors (HGNETs) of the urinary tract (which includes renal pelvis, ureter, and urethra, and excludes neuroendocrine tumors of the prostate). Mixed histologies, with any component including small cell carcinoma, are eligible for inclusion.
  2. * Participants in Cohort 1 must have received prior immune checkpoint inhibitors or be ineligible for treatment with immune checkpoint inhibition.
  3. * Participants in Cohort 2 must be immune checkpoint inhibitor na(SqrRoot) ve but eligible to receive them.
  4. * Participants must have metastatic disease defined as new or progressive lesions.
  5. * Participants must have at least one measurable site of disease, per RECIST 1.1.
  6. * Participants must have received, be ineligible, or refused prior platinum/etoposide chemotherapy for SCCB or other HGNET of the urinary tract. Platinum ineligibility is defined as a CrCl \<30, or two or more of the following: CrCl \<50-60, ECOG \>=2, hearing loss \>= grade 2, peripheral neuropathy \>= grade 2, NYHA heart failure class \>= class III.
  7. * Age \>=18 years.
  8. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] performance status \<=2 (Karnofsky \>=60%.
  9. * Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  10. * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>=1,500/microliter
  11. * Platelets \>=100,000/ microliter
  12. * Hemoglobin (Hgb) \> 9g/dL (erythrocyte transfusions are allowed to achieve acceptable Hgb)
  13. * Total bilirubin within normal limits with the following exceptions:
  14. * Participants with tumor involving the liver may have mild to moderate hepatic impairment with total bilirubin \<= 1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN)
  15. * Participants with known Gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin level \<= 1.5 X ULN
  16. * AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) \<=1.5 x institutional ULN
  17. * Creatinine clearance (CrCl) \>= 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 (glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\] may be used in place of CrCl. Creatinine clearance or eGFR should be calculated per institutional standard)
  18. * Participants with previously treated brain metastases or central nervous system (CNS) metastases are eligible if they have recovered from any acute effects of radiotherapy and not requiring steroids, and any whole brain radiation therapy or any stereotactic radiosurgery was completed at least 2 weeks prior to initiation of therapy.
  19. * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive participants are eligible if on stable dose of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), CD4 counts are \> 350 cells/mm\^3 and viral load is undetectable.
  20. * Hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive participants are eligible if they have been treated or are on an appropriate course of antivirals at study entry and with planned monitoring and management according to appropriate guidance including prophylaxis.
  21. * Hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive participants are eligible if:
  22. * they are on active HCV therapy at study entry or are on an appropriate course of antivirals without documented clinically significant impaired liver function test or hematologic abnormalities and with planned monitoring and management according to appropriate labeling, or if they are post treatment for HCV; or
  23. * they have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
  24. * Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., intrauterine device \[IUD\], hormonal, surgical sterilization, abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for up to six (6) months after discontinuation of the study drug(s).
  25. * Men must agree to use an effective method of contraception (barrier, surgical sterilization, abstinence) for the duration of the study treatment and up to six (6) months after the last dose of the study drug(s). We also will recommend men with female partners of childbearing potential to ask female partners to be on an effective birth control (hormonal, intrauterine device (IUD), surgical sterilization). Men must not freeze or donate sperm within the same period.
  26. * Breastfeeding participants must be willing to discontinue breastfeeding from study treatment initiation through six (6) weeks after the last dose of the study drug(s).
  27. * Participants must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document.
  1. * Participants with prior investigational drug, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or any prior radiotherapy (except for palliative bone directed therapy) within the past 14 days prior to the first drug administration. Additionally, FDA-approved hormonal therapy for the treatment or prevention of other malignancies (e.g., breast cancer, prostate cancer) may be continued where in the opinion of the investigator stopping such therapies may increase the risk of disease progression. Potential drug-drug interactions with the hormonal agent will be assessed by the enrolling investigator prior to enrollment.
