Spanish term

Segunda linea

Spanish to English Medical Science (general) Investigation
Regarding a clinical trial, (fase tres de segunda linea) is "segunda linea" translated literally,
or is there another term? This is related to cancer investigations.

This is the context of a medical/research conference : So we shall begin with the situation and the clinical trials in Spain, you know that there are three clinical trials open in Spain "fase tres, segunda linea." (phase three, second line? or should it be a different term?)

Thanks

agree Emma Goldsmith : Yes, it probably refers to second-line treatment. http://www.nature.com/nrclinonc/journal/v5/n3/full/ncponc103...

neutral Nigel Wheatley : I'm not sure. I don't think it refers to a second-line treatment. 'Seconda línea' seems to refer to the phase III clinical trials
