NCT00908336 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 70

Last updated 2009-05-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Erlotinib has demonstrated efficacy as a single agent in patients with NSCLC and the addition of erlotinib to chemotherapy has not achieved better results in the general population.

However, several preclinical and phase I studies have shown that a sequential treatment of erlotinib and chemotherapy could avoid a possible negative interaction between both drugs when administrated concomitantly, and therefore, it could improve the benefit of the combination therapy.

This study will investigate if the intermittent treatment of a chemotherapy drug, such as docetaxel, with erlotinib could achieve a clinical benefit.
