In Brief
A clinical study evaluating docetaxel and pemetrexed for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 179 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Docetaxel and pemetrexed have been validated for previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, tolerability is a concern with the docetaxel (tri-weekly 75 mg/m2 schedule). The investigators conducted this study to compare the efficacy and toxicity of weekly low-dose docetaxel versus tri-weekly pemetrexed for previously treated advanced NSCLC.
