Study on SMS001 (Paclitaxel) for Treating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: ToLymph Inc.

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06693336

This clinical trial is testing a new form of the drug Paclitaxel, called SMS001, to find a safe dose and see how well it works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are undergoing surgery.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SMS001, a new version of the drug Paclitaxel, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are having surgery. Researchers aim to determine a safe dose and assess how well the drug works in preventing cancer recurrence and improving survival without disease.

Description

The main goals of this study are to ensure that SMS001 is safe and well-tolerated in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are undergoing surgery. Researchers will also look at whether the cancer returns within 12 months after treatment and how long patients remain free of the disease by the end of the study.
