Official Title: S1400C, "A Phase II Study of Palbociclib for Previously Treated Cell Cycle Gene Alteration Positive Patients with Stage IV Squamous Cell Lung Cancer (Lung-MAP Sub-Study)"
NCT Number: 02785939 Version Date: 9/1/2017 Description:
S1400 [NCT 02154490] is the parent study to **S1400C** [NCT 02785939]. The **S1400** Lung-MAP study is considered one study under one IND consisting of:
- S1400 Version Control Protocol
- S1400 Main Screening Protocol Component
- Multiple Sub-Studies (or sub-protocols) Components Each component is contained in its own separate document. S1400C is one of these components. Each "component" consists of the protocol document and its associated informed consent document(s). Since each screening and sub-study component operates independently from the other components contained in Lung-MAP, each has its own version date and NCT number. This is due to the complexity of the study and how it must be entered into different computer programs.
