A Trial With Metronomic Low-dose Treosulfan, Pioglitazone and Clarithromycin Versus Standard Treatment in NSCLC (ModuLung)
A Prospective Phase II, Randomized Multi-center Trial of a Combined Modularized Treatment With Metronomic Low-dose Treosulfan, Pioglitazone and Clarithromycin Versus Nivolumab in Patients With Squamous Cell Lung Cancer and Non- Squamous Cell Lung Cancer, Respectively After Platin Failure
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Patients will be randomized 1:1, and will be stratified according to histology (squamous cell carcinoma vs adenocarcinoma).
86 patients with platin refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) will be treated either with metronomic low-dose treosulfan, pioglitazone and clarithromycin (experimental arm) or with nivolumab (squamous cell lung cancer and nonsquamous cell lung cancer).
Patients will undergo tumor assessments at baseline and every 6 weeks (approximately every two cycles) thereafter, until progression. Patients without progression after 36 weeks will undergo tumor assessments every 12 weeks.
