The trial is designed to evaluate the benefits of Tedopi compared to current standard chemotherapy docetaxel or pemetrexed, which are both approved in second line therapy.Its

Tedopi in second line or third line is administered in HLA-A2 positive patients diagnosed with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC.

Around 500 patients will be included in the Phase III trial, which will be conducted in 70 clinical sites in Europe and in the US.

The trial is expected to be completed in 2018, provided that the recruitment of patients, their observed survival and the safety of the product meet the strict criteria set for this trial.
