Phase 2b Study of Cetuximab With Platinum-Based Chemo as First Line Treatment of Recurrent or Advanced NSCLC

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

This study is testing the investigational drug, cetuximab, in combination with different chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer. The aim of the study is to determine which of the drug combinations looks most promising and should be tested further. The study will also look at what side effects may occur.
