PHASE2
Brief Summary
This study was designed to test the addition of DMXAA (now known as ASA404) to carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with NSCLC.
Detailed Description
The study was designed to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of DMXAA in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with locally advanced and metastatic (Stage IIIb and IV) n...
