SQUIRE Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new drug to see if it's more effective than standard chemotherapy for lung cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Stage IV squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Participants must have proper liver and kidney function, no severe side effects from previous treatments (except hair loss), and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should agree to use effective contraception, have tumor tissue available for testing, and cannot have had certain prior treatments or active infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests necitumumab combined with standard chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and gemcitabine against the standard chemo alone in treating advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding necitumumab improves patient outcomes compared to just using chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system such as infusion reactions, skin rash, electrolyte imbalances due to renal function changes; blood-related issues like anemia; fatigue; gastrointestinal problems like nausea or vomiting; and possible liver enzyme alterations.
