DUBLIN-3 (NCT02504489) · Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The completed lead evidence is positive, with design limits that temper confidence; the rationale below says which.
DUBLIN-3 (NCT02504489): The 559 participants were randomized to docetaxel plus plinabulin or docetaxel plus placebo, with participants masked, and the primary endpoint was the hard clinical outcome of overall survival. Although overall survival was statistically significantly improved with plinabulin, the trial was single-blind rather than double-blind, supporting a moderate evidence grade.
