Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Phase I: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
Up to 42 days of first Plinabulin dose

Establish MTD of plinabulin in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab for patients with recurrent SCLC. MTD reflects the highest dose of plinabulin that did not cause a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in \> 33% of participants. DLTs were defined in accordance to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Up to maximum of 9 months

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease(PD) \>= 20% increase in tumor burden relative to nadir or the appearance of one or more new lesions; Stable Disease (SD), not meet criteria for CR/PR/PD. Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as time from registration until disease progression met by RECIST 1.1 or death from any cause.

Secondary Endpoints
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Up to a maximum of 43 months
Number of Participants With Immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs)
Up to a maximum of 43 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR)

ArmTypeDescription
Phase I (Dose Escalation): nivolumab, ipilimumab and plinabulinEXPERIMENTALOn Day 1 in a 21-day cycle, all patients will receive nivolumab (1 mg/kg, IV), ipilimumab (3 mg/kg, IV) and plinabulin (escalating cohorts, IV). After 4 treatment cycles, ipilimumab will be discontinued and patients will continue treatment with nivolumab 240 mg and plinabulin every 2 weeks (maintenance period) until one of the end of treatment criteria occur. Plinabulin escalation is as follows: Level -1 : 13.5mg/m\^2 Level 1 (start) : 20mg/m\^2 Level 2 : 30mg/m\^2
Phase II: nivolumab, ipilimumab, and plinabulinEXPERIMENTALOn Day 1 in a 21-day cycle, all patients will receive nivolumab (1 mg/kg, IV), ipilimumab (3 mg/kg, IV) and plinabulin (MTD from Phase I). After 4 treatment cycles, ipilimumab will be discontinued and patients will continue treatment with nivolumab 240 mg and plinabulin every 2 weeks (maintenance period) until one of the end of treatment criteria occur .
Interventions
NameTypeDescription
NivolumabDRUGA fully human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody directed against the negative immunoregulatory human cell surface receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1,PCD-1,) with immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities.
PlinabulinDRUGPlinabulin (BPI-2358) is a synthetic, low molecular weight, new chemical entity originally developed by Nereus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and now by BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals, Inc. It belongs to the diketopiperazine class of compounds with a chemical name 2, 5-piperazinedione, 3-\[\[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl\[methylene\]-6-(phenylmethylene)-, (3Z,6Z) (trivial name t-butyl-dehydrophenylahistin).
IpilimumabDRUGIpilimumab is a monoclonal antibody that works to activate the immune system by targeting CTLA-4, a protein receptor that downregulates the immune system.
