Official title

A Multi-center Phase III Randomized, Double-blind Placebo-controlled Study of the Cancer Vaccine Stimuvax® (L-BLP25 or BLP25 Liposome Vaccine) in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Subjects With Unresectable Stage III Disease.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cancer vaccine tecemotide (L-BLP25) in addition to best supportive care is effective in prolonging the lives of subjects with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, compared to best supportive care alone. A local ancillary (sub) study in European centers will evaluate the immune response in peripheral blood after tecemotide (L-BLP25) or placebo vaccination.
