Purpose

This study is being done to evaluate the safety of the investigational study drug, BGB324 when administered in combination with docetaxel, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose.

Detailed Description

      Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with an estimated
      incidence of 1.6 million cases resulting in 1.4 million deaths in annually. Non-small-cell
      lung cancer (NSCLC) represents 80-85% of cases, and adenocarcinoma is the most common
      histology.2 The majority of NSCLC patients present with advanced or metastatic disease that
      is not amenable to surgical resection. Platinum-based combination chemotherapy has reached a
      therapeutic plateau with a median overall survival (OS) of 7.4 to 9.9 months.

      BGB324 is a potent selective small molecule inhibitor of Axl, a surface membrane protein
      kinase receptor that is over-expressed in many metastatic solid tumors and has been
      identified as a marker of a poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
      (NSCLC).
