Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Motexafin Gadolinium and Docetaxel for Second Line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer


Preclinical and clinical data suggest that MGd has activity in NSCLC and that the
combination of MGd and docetaxel may be more effective that docetaxel alone. In this trial,
patients will receive 10 mg/kg MGd followed by 75 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks. This dosing
regimen was well tolerated in the Phase I dose escalation trial. A Simon 2-stage trial
design will be used; if at least 4 out of 39 evaluable patients in the first stage of the
trial demonstrate objective clinical response, the study will proceed to Stage 2, where an
additional 22 evaluable patients will be enrolled following the same treatment regimen and
assessment schedule as in Stage 1. Patients with stable disease, CR, or PR will continue
dosing up to 12 cycles and will be followed for response every 6 weeks until PD, death, or
end of study.

chemotherapy if completed > 12 months prior to cytotoxic regimen, or prior MGd)
