Study Summary

This trial is testing a combination of drugs to treat patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer. The drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells. Giving the drugs together may work better than giving other standard chemotherapy drugs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously been treated with immunotherapy. They must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks, acceptable liver and kidney function, controlled CNS metastases if present, and no severe heart or lung conditions. Participants need to agree to use contraception and cannot be pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of combining MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in NSCLC patients who didn't respond well to prior treatments. It aims to see if this combination is better than standard chemotherapy by blocking enzymes that help cancer cells grow.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nausea, fatigue, hair loss from chemotherapy drugs like Carboplatin and Paclitaxel; Pevonedistat may cause blood count issues or organ inflammation. Side effects can vary based on individual health conditions.

Answered by AI

Are there any other examples of Pevonedistat's medical applications?

"As of now, 1244 Pevonedistat clinical trials are underway with 345 in Phase 3. Out of the 67481 total locations for these trials, several are situated in Shanghai."

Answered by AI

Where are patients able to take part in this trial?

"Currently, this experiment is being conducted in 11 different locations. They are situated in Los Angeles, Newport Beach, and Tampa as well as 8 other cities. If you enroll, try to choose the location nearest to you to cut back on travel time."

Answered by AI

Are there any unfilled positions in this trial for new patients?

"While no longer recruiting patients, this study was last updated on September 16th, 2022. The trial was first posted on September 3rd, 2019. There are 5644 other clinical trials that are still looking for participants."

Answered by AI

How many people are participating in the trial?
