About this trial
The primary objective of this pilot study is to determine if AER101 can decrease glycolysis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Glycolysis is the process cells use to break down sugar (glucose) into a smaller substance in the fluid part inside the cell. Many lung cancers begin in bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli cells surrounding the airways, which enables nebulization to deposit AER101 on lung tumors.
Participants in the study will self-administer AER101 via a hand-held personal nebulizer three times per day (dosing at least 4 hours apart) for 14 days prior to undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
