Spanish term or phrase: Segunda linea
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
