Study Summary

This trial is testing docetaxel with or without bintrafusp alfa to see if it is more effective in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have previously received anti-PD1/PD-L1 and chemotherapy. Participants must be over 18, not pregnant or nursing, willing to use contraception, and able to provide consent. They should have adequate organ function as indicated by specific blood tests and no severe allergies or conditions that would interfere with the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of docetaxel chemotherapy with or without bintrafusp alfa (an immunotherapy drug) in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It's a phase II study where patients are randomly assigned to receive either both drugs together or just docetaxel alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Docetaxel can cause side effects like fatigue, hair loss, nausea, and low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk. Bintrafusp alfa may lead to immune-related side effects such as inflammation in various organs, skin reactions, hormonal gland problems, and infusion-related reactions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (docetaxel, bintrafusp alfa)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and bintrafusp alfa IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive bintrafusp alfa IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm II (docetaxel)Active Control1 Intervention
Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who experience disease progression may crossover to Arm I and receive bintrafusp alfa alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does Docetaxel have a lot of negative side effects?

"Docetaxel's safety was rated a 2 because, while there is evidence of its safety, none of the clinical data collected thus far has shown that it is an effective medication."

Answered by AI

Is there previous data on Docetaxel's effects?

"There are a total of 357 clinical trials studying Docetaxel. Out of those, 134 are in Phase 3 and currently recruiting patients. The many trials for Docetaxel tend to be based in Fuzhou, Fujian; however, there are 23348 locations running studies for this treatment globally."

Answered by AI

For what common illnesses is Docetaxel prescribed?

"Docetaxel is an effective treatment for malignant neoplasms, sarcoma, and patients that have issued advance directives."

Answered by AI

Are new participants still being enrolled in this experiment?

"Presently, this clinical trial is not recruiting patients. The most recent update to the study was on November 9th, 2022 and it was first posted on October 23rd, 2020. There are other active trials you may be eligible for: 1959 involving malignant neoplasms and 357 studies concerning Docetaxel specifically are currently looking for participants."

Answered by AI

To-date, how many individuals have opted into this research project?

"Candidates are no longer being accepted for this particular study. Although, there are currently 1959 trials actively searching for patients with malignant neoplasms and357 studies for Docetaxel that have open positions."
