This trial was looking at a drug called ASA404 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that was stage 3B or 4.

Doctors often use chemotherapy to treat NSCLC that is or has spread to another part of the body. Paclitaxel and carboplatin are chemotherapy drugs that may be used.
