Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of Selumetinib with Docetaxel for Second-Line Treatment in KRAS Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT01933932

This clinical trial is testing whether the combination of selumetinib and docetaxel is more effective than docetaxel alone in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS mutation and has not responded to initial treatment.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to determine if selumetinib, when combined with the chemotherapy drug docetaxel, can better treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a KRAS mutation compared to docetaxel alone. It will also evaluate the safety, how the body processes the drug, and the overall experience of patients receiving this combination treatment.

Description

This is a Phase III clinical trial that is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who is receiving the actual treatment or a placebo. The study is randomized and placebo-controlled, focusing on patients who are receiving a second line of treatment for KRAS mutation-positive, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial will compare the effects of selumetinib combined with docetaxel against a placebo combined with docetaxel. Researchers will assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of the treatment, as well as how patients report their experiences.
