Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A drug combination of a platinum agent, such as cisplatin (CDDP), carboplatin (CBDCA) or nedaplatin (CDGP), and a third-generation agent, such as docetaxel (DTX), paclitaxel (PTX), vinorelbine (VNR), gemcitabine (GEM), irinotecan (CPT-11), pemetrexed (PEM), or tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil (S-1).

Biomarker-Directed Therapies

Platinum doublet therapy has been investigated in 7 clinical trials, of which 6 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating platinum doublet therapy, 4 are phase 2 (3 open), 2 are phase 3 (2 open), and 1 is no phase specified (1 open).

EGFR A763_Y764insFQEA, EGFR Exon 19 Deletion, and EGFR Exon 19 Insertion are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for platinum doublet therapy clinical trials.

Non-small cell lung carcinoma is the most common disease being investigated in platinum doublet therapy clinical trials [2].
