Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
Study of GRN163L With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of GRN163L when administered in combination with a standard paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen to patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Full Description
GRN163L is a telomerase template antagonist with in vitro and in vivo activity in a variety of tumor model systems. Telomerase is an enzyme that is active primarily in tumor cells and is crucial for the indefinite growth of tumor cells. Inhibition of telomerase may result in antineoplastic effects.
