Bortezomib (PS-341) in Combination With Carboplatin and Docetaxel for Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2013-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a phase I/II study. The phase I portion of the study will determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib when administered in combination with carboplatin & docetaxel and to determine the efficacy of the combination for patients with advanced NSCLC. Phase II will utilize the dosage determined in the Phase I and implement regimen to determine time to progression, overall survival, and changes in serum proteomics patterns before & after combination therapy.

• Phase: Phase 1
