A 3rd/4th Line Placebo-controlled Trial of Sorafenib in Patients With Predominantly Non Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00863746
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to see if sorafenib plus best supportive care (i.e. in addition
to the non-cancer treatments patients would normally receive) is an effective treatment for
lung cancer compared to best supportive care alone. The safety and tolerability of the two
treatment groups will also be compared. The goal of the study is to test the ability of
sorafenib to improve survival compared to best supportive care alone.
