About
Picoplatin is a new type of platinum drug that has been investigated in several clinical trials, and may provide an improved safety profile over current treatment options. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of picoplatin plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) with BSC alone. Best Supportive Care includes care and treatment to optimize the comfort of patients and their ability to function, as well as to minimize the side-effects of anti-cancer treatments.
Full description
This Phase 3 study will enroll subjects with Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) who are refractory or progressive within 6 months of completing first-line, platinum-containing chemotherapy. Subjects will be centrally randomized 2:1 to receive picoplatin plus BSC every 3 weeks, or BSC alone. After discontinuation of picoplatin, all subjects will continue to receive BSC and will continue to be evaluated every 3 weeks until discontinuation from the study, death, or the end of the study. After discontinuation of picoplatin, subjects may be treated with another chemotherapy at their physician's discretion and then will be followed for survival.
