CPI-613 in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

This pilot clinical trial studies CPI-613 (6,8-bis\[benzylthio\]octanoic acid) in treating patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer. CPI-613 may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for small cell lung cancer.
