Scientists test new pill in hopes of boosting lung cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT04631029

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of adding a new oral drug, entinostat, to a standard three-drug regimen for aggressive lung cancer that has spread. The main goal was to find the highest safe dose of this four-drug combination and check for side effects in a very small group of patients. Researchers also wanted to see if adding entinostat could make the standard treatment more effective at controlling the cancer.
