Recruiting PHASE2 Lung Adenocarcinoma

New treatment option for Lung Adenocarcinoma

Official title Testing the Addition of an Anti-Cancer Drug, TRC102, to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Pemetrexed, Cisplatin or Carboplatin) During Radiation Therapy for Stage III Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05198830

What this study is testing

What is Carboplatin?

Carboplatin is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for lung adenocarcinoma.

Also referred to as Blastocarb, Carboplat.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This phase II trial tests whether TRC102 (methoxyamine hydrochloride) in combination usual care treatment comprised of pemetrexed, cisplatin or carboplatin, and radiation therapy followed by durvalumab works better than the usual care treatment alone to shrink tumors in patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TRC102 is in a class of drugs called antineoplastic agents.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Time commitment: about 1 year
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
