Mechanism of action

In Phase 3 trials, a chemotherapy control arm serves as the reference standard against which an investigational drug's efficacy and safety are measured. The specific chemotherapy regimen would depend on the indication being studied, but generally involves cytotoxic agents that damage cancer cell DNA or disrupt cell division. Without knowing the specific trial protocol, the exact mechanism cannot be determined.
