Fingolimod for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of fingolimod in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread outside of the lung in which it began or to other parts of the body (extensive stage). Fingolimod may block the effects of S1P, a type of fatty compound (lipid), which may stop the growth of tumor cells.
