ASCI* is being developed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as a potential new treatment for certain types of lung cancer. It is currently being tested in large clinical trial involving thousands of lung cancer patients. Clinical trials are carefully controlled studies carried out to see whether new treatments are effective and safe.
