Overview

placebo + docetaxel refers to the control treatment arm used in clinical research conducted by Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd., specifically within the Phase III trial (NCT02766140) for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This combination consists of docetaxel, a microtubule-stabilizing antineoplastic agent administered intravenously, and an oral placebo that matches the experimental drug famitinib (SHR1020). Docetaxel works by binding to tubulin, promoting its assembly into microtubules and inhibiting their disassembly, which leads to cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and subsequent apoptosis. The placebo component ensures the double-blind nature of the study, serving as a pharmacologically inactive comparator to isolate the therapeutic effects of famitinib when added to the standard docetaxel regimen.
