Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of hypofractionated radiation therapy when given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving hypofractionated radiation therapy together with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
In this prospective study, the investigators will evaluate and compare the usefulness of functional and volumetric informations obtained by 18F-FDG PET and MRI before and after the palliative chemotherapy with the aim of predicting tumor response and prognosis in patients with advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
NSCLC is the leading cause of cancer mortality in North America, accounting for nearly 30% of all cancer deaths. The standard treatment for patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection of the involved lobe/lung. However, many patients are unable to undergo such a major surgery due to medical illness, and an emerging standard-of-care for these patients stereotactic-body radiation therapy (SBRT). SBRT involves highly precise delivery of very high dose Radiotherapy (RT) over a very few fractions (hypofractionation) to accurately describe, size-restricted malignant targets in which motion has been accounted for during the delivery process. SBRT administration achieves avoidance of normal tissue exposure to radiation during the planning process, by providing for sharp fall-off dose gradients outside the target.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and to define the Maximal Tolerated Dose (MTD) or the Maximal Administered Dose (MAD) of oral azacitidine as a single agent and in combination with carboplatin (CBDCA) or paclitaxel protein bound particles (ABI-007,ABX) in subjects with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
The main purpose for this study is to answer the following research questions: - Can pemetrexed be administered safely at the participant's home, using the same treatment procedure as in a hospital setting? - Will the participant be satisfied with home care? - How might this impact the participant's quality of life? - What are the required medical resources needed to give pemetrexed in a home setting?
The purpose of this study is to compare the combination of pemetrexed and gefitinib versus gefitinib alone, in terms of progression-free survival. This study is in participants who have stage IV non squamous NSCLC with activating epidermal growth factor mutations and who have not had any previous chemotherapy for stage IV disease.
This is a open single-center, explorative, Phase I pilot dose finding study including patients treated with AXL1717 in addition to standard chemotherapy of gemcitabine HCL and carboplatin.
To assess the impact of prophylactic treatment on the incidence of adverse events in advanced NSCLC patients (post chemotherapy) treated with dacomitinib daily as a single agent. To assess the impact of an interrupted dacomitinib dosing schedule in Cycle 1 on the incidence of adverse events in first-line advanced NSCLC patients with an EGFR mutation (HER-1 mutation, HER-2 mutation or HER-2 amplification).
To determine whether dose escalation can provide a better survival to patients who failed with icotinib at routine dose.
This is a study of CDX-1127, a therapy that targets the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects. The study enrolls patients with hematologic cancers (certain leukemias and lymphomas), as well as patients with select types of solid tumors.
