About this study

Official title: Expanded Access Multicenter Study of Lucanix® (Belagenpumatucel-L) in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

This is an expanded access protocol designed to make Lucanix® available to subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are not eligible for the Phase III Protocol, NR001-03. A total of 45 patients will be enrolled into the study.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to increase the overall survival of the study subjects by providing expanded access to Lucanix. Overall survival and progression-free survivals will be compared with historical controls.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • Evaluate the best overall tumor response.
  • Evaluate progression-free survival (PFS).
  • Evaluate treatment toxicity.
