Official Title: A Phase I Study of GRN163L in Combination With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT00510445
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of GRN163L when administered in combination with a standard paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen to patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Detailed Description: GRN163L is a telomerase template antagonist with in vitro and in vivo activity in a variety of tumor model systems. Telomerase is an enzyme that is active primarily in tumor cells and is crucial for the indefinite growth of tumor cells. Inhibition of telomerase may result in antineoplastic effects.
