Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

All study parts: Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Up to approximately 2 years

Number of participants with AEs and SAEs, including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory values qualifying and reported as AEs.

All study parts: Incidence and severity of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
28 days

Number of participants with DLTs. A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or higher assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 28 days after DJI136 infusion and meets the criteria defined in the protocol. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

Phase II Group A: Overall response rate (ORR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years

Tumor response assessed by the investigator based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). ORR per RECIST v1.1 is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR).

Secondary Endpoints

Phase I Part A and Phase II exploratory group: Overall response rate (ORR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years
Phase I Part A and Phase II: Disease control rate (DCR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years
Phase I Part A and Phase II: Duration of response (DOR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years

Frequently asked questions about DJI136

What is DJI136 used for in Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)?

DJI136 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC). It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities. The drug is being studied in a clinical trial to evaluate its safety and efficacy in patients with this condition.

What does DJI136 target?

DJI136 is a DLL3-targeted therapy, as indicated by its clinical trial title. It is designed to target DLL3, a protein that is often expressed in small cell lung cancer cells. By targeting DLL3, DJI136 aims to interfere with the cancer cells that express this protein, potentially offering a treatment option for patients with Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Who makes DJI136?

DJI136 is being developed by Novartis AG, a global healthcare company. Novartis is listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DJI136 in patients with Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

What phase is DJI136 in?

DJI136 is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet received regulatory approval for commercial use. The Phase 1 trial is actively recruiting participants to study the drug's safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy in patients with Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.

What clinical trials is DJI136 in?

DJI136 is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07564401. This trial is titled 'A Study to Evaluate DJI136, a DLL3-targeted CAR-T Therapy' and is currently recruiting participants. The study is enrolling approximately 80 patients with Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer and is being conducted in the United States and Singapore.

Is DJI136 the same as a CAR-T therapy?

DJI136 is described as a DLL3-targeted CAR-T therapy in its clinical trial title. However, it is also classified as a small molecule in the drug profile. This suggests that DJI136 may be a small molecule that targets DLL3, potentially mimicking or enhancing CAR-T mechanisms, though the exact nature of the therapy is not fully detailed in the available information.
