Gene Therapy in Treating Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Cannot Be Surgically Removed
RATIONALE: Exposing tumor cells to the p53 gene may improve the body's ability to fight non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy in treating patients who have non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed.

How this study is categorized
These labels come from structured fields and exact terms in the public record.
Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
