Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria
  • Metastatic small-cell lung cancer
  • Metastatic high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of any organ system (high-grade defined by Ki-67 ≥ 20% and/or ≥ 20 mitoses/10 (HPF).
  • Received at least one line of prior chemotherapy treatment for metastatic disease.
  • Daily chemotherapy must be completed ≥ 2 weeks prior to registration
  • Weekly chemotherapy must be completed ≥ 2 weeks prior to registration
  • Chemotherapy every 2 weeks must be completed ≥ 3 weeks prior to registration
  • Chemotherapy every 3 weeks must be completed ≥ 4 weeks prior to registration
  • ECOG Performance Status 0 to 2
  • Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria
  • Age at least 18 years
  • Estimated life expectancy at least 3 months
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/ mm³
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm³
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, OR ≤ 2 X ULN if tumor involves the liver
  • AST(SGOT)
  • ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3 X ULN
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 X ULN
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73m²) for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
  • QT interval corrected using Fridericia's method (QTcF) \< 450 msec (males) or \< 470 msec (females)
  • PR \< 240 msec
  • QRS \< 100 msec
  • Brain metastases must be asymptomatic and have been adequately treated with radiation finishing at least 1 week prior to initiation of study treatment.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria
  • Clinically-significant ventricular arrhythmia including cardiac arrest
  • Myocardial infarction from coronary artery disease within 3 months of study enrollment
  • Implantable pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator
  • NYHA Class III or greater congestive heart failure
  • Other clinically-significant cardiac disorders
  • Family history of long QT syndrome.
  • Concomitant or expected treatment with strong inhibitors of cytochrome p450 CYP2D6, specifically including Bupropion; Fluoxetine; or Paroxetine (must be discontinued at least 2 weeks or 5-half lives prior to the initiation of desipramine, whichever is shortest, except fluoxetine which requires at least a 5-week washout period).
  • Use of medications known to increase risk of torsades de pointes, including Amiodarone; Arsenic trioxide; Astemizole; Azithromycin; Bepridil; Chloroquine; Chlorpromazine; Cisapride; Citalopram; Clarithromycin; Disopyramide; Dofetilide; Domperidone; Droperidol; Erythromycin; Flecainide; Halofantrine; Haloperidol; Ibutilide; Levomethadyl; Mesoridazine; Methadone; Moxifloxacin; Pentamidine; Pimozide; Probucol; Procainamide; Quinidine; Sotalol; Sparfloxacin; Terfenadine; Thioridazine; Vandetanib
  • Other anti-depressant or anti-psychotic medications including selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs); other tricyclic, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs); serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs, typical or atypical anti-psychotic)
  • Metoclopramide (Reglan) because of increased risk of extrapyrimidal symptoms and neuroleptic malignant syndrome
  • Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension despite adequate volume resuscitation.
  • Medical history of narrow angle glaucoma
  • Bipolar disorder, ongoing or active within the last 5 years
  • Suicidal ideation, ongoing or active within the last 5 years
  • Suicide attempt, ongoing or active within the last 5 years
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding
  • Receiving any other investigational agents
  • Any other serious or unstable concomitant systemic disorder that in the opinion of the investigator is incompatible with the clinical study
