Drug tested to keep aggressive lung cancer at bay

NCT ID NCT02863055

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called nintedanib could help control malignant pleural mesothelioma, a serious cancer of the lung lining, after patients completed initial chemotherapy. The trial compared nintedanib against a placebo (inactive pill) in patients whose cancer had not worsened after first-line treatment. The goal was to see if taking nintedanib daily could delay the cancer's return or progression.
