SHERLOC: A Phase 2 Study of MM-121 in Combination With Docetaxel Versus Docetaxel Alone in Patients With Heregulin Positive, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc.)
Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of MM-121 plus docetaxel is
more effective than docetaxel alone in regards to PFS in patients with heregulin-positive
NSCLC.
Detailed Description
This study is a randomized, open-label, international, multi-center, phase 2 study in
patients with Heregulin-positive NSCLC histologically classified as adenocarcinoma that have
progressed following no more than two systemic therapies for locally advanced or metastatic
disease, one of which must have been a platinum containing regimen. All patients will
initially be screened for heregulin status. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive
MM-121 in combination with docetaxel versus docetaxel alone.
Phase
Phase 2 - takes the treatment one step further, assessing the activity of a particular therapy in a disease, often building upon leads from the Phase I trial. While patients are generally required to be previously untreated, participation in a Phase II trial doesn't usually preclude the patient from getting the standard treatment after they've received the investigational agent. At best they are allowed to get a new drug they wouldn't be able to get otherwise that may turn out to be better for their disease.Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
