Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of GRN163L when administered in combination with a standard paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen to patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

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

GRN163L is a telomerase template antagonist with in vitro and in vivo activity in a variety of tumor model systems. Telomerase is an enzyme that is active primarily in tumor cells and is crucial for the indefinite growth of tumor cells. Inhibition of telomerase may result in antineoplastic effects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Single Arm Trial

Patients will be enrolled in the order of confirmation of eligibility. Dose cohorts will be filled sequentially with a minimum of 3 patients. Once assigned to a dose cohort, each patient will continue to be treated at the same dose level throughout the course of the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Imetelstat Sodium (GRN163L)

Intervention Type DRUG

The starting dose of GRN163L for this study will be 3.2 mg/kg. Subsequent dose levels will be 4.8, 6, 7.5, 9, 11, and 13.5 mg/kg. The maximum dose to be administered will not exceed 13.5 mg/kg.

Paclitaxel and carboplatin will be administered on Day 2 of each 21-day cycle.
