Study Summary

This trial will test whether adding inhaled chemotherapy to a standard IV chemotherapy treatment plan increases efficacy while also measuring any additional toxicities.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who haven't had chemo or biologic therapy for lung cancer. They must have good liver, kidney, and bone marrow function, no prior lung radiotherapy (except certain cases), acceptable pulmonary function tests, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with serious active infections, known drug hypersensitivity, unstable heart conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, other cancers treated within the last 5 years (with exceptions), or using investigational drugs can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if inhaled Doxorubicin can be effectively combined with standard IV chemotherapy drugs Docetaxel and Cisplatin in treating NSCLC. It aims to assess any additional side effects from this combination and gather preliminary results on its effectiveness against lung cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss; specific concerns might involve lung-related issues due to inhalation like coughing or shortness of breath; plus risks associated with each individual drug like mouth sores from Doxorubicin or nerve damage from Docetaxel.
