First human trial aims to starve lung cancer cells

NCT ID NCT03467360

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing whether adding an existing drug called acetazolamide to standard radiation and chemotherapy can better control small cell lung cancer. The drug may work by targeting the cancer's energy supply and making the tumor environment less acidic, which could help the immune system. The study will first determine the safest dose of this combination for 27 patients with either limited or extensive stage disease.
