Lung Cancer
Cancers that begin in the lungs are divided into two major types, non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, depending on how the cells look under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer is more common than small cell lung cancer, and it generally grows and spreads more slowly. Small cell lung cancer, sometimes called oat cell cancer, is less common, grows more quickly and is more likely to spread to other organs in the body. [Source: www.nihseniorhealth.gov]

Lung Cancer Study CASA404A2302
The purpose of this phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study is to assess the effects of a Novartis investigational drug in combination with a standard therapy in second-line treatment of people with locally advanced or metastatic (Stage IIIb/IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). An "investigational drug" is a drug that is being clinically tested and is not approved for sale or use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the indication in which it is being studied.
Trial phase: Phase 3 Participation Duration: This study is anticipated to last approximately 27 months. Eligible participants will be assigned into 1 of 2 possible groups: group 1 will receive the investigational drug plus standard therapy, while group 2 will receive a placebo (a dummy substance that has no effect on your body) plus standard therapy. Participants will be required to visit the study center to receive a treatment and/or evaluation every 3 weeks. Protocol Number: CASA404A2302 |
