Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The combination of chemotherapy with radiotherapy remains the standard of therapy for patients with stage III NSCLC. A recent phase II study has presented encouraging data regarding the administration of docetaxel as consolidation treatment after definitive concurrent chemo-radiotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To evaluate whether the administration of consolidation therapy with docetaxel/carboplatin after induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy, offers any advantage regarding time to tumor progression
