Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The purpose of this study is to determine whether talactoferrin can improve overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been previously treated with two or more regimens. The previous treatment must include a platinum-based chemotherapy. Approximately 720 patients will receive best supportive care (not including any anti-cancer therapy) and be randomly assigned at a ratio of 2:1 to talactoferrin or placebo. Patients would receive the above therapy until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), start of a next-line therapy for NSCLC, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or withdrawal by investigator, whichever occurs first. Safety will be assessed throughout the study by the occurrence of adverse events graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 3.0, and changes in vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory values. Globally the enrollment target is 720 patients. In India the enrollment target is 200 patients. The tentative date of enrollment of first patient in India is July 15, 2010.
