Study of the Vascular Disrupting Agent NPI-2358 in Combination With Docetaxel in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This is a clinical trial examining the vascular disrupting agent NPI-2358 combined with
docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The formation of new
blood vessels (angiogenesis) is an important component of tumor growth, vascular disrupting
agents are intended to target the differences between these tumor blood vessels and the
blood vessels in normal tissues. There are indications of advantages in combining vascular
disrupting agents with standard agents in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC).
Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
