Filter by:This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin + gemcitabine, and Avastin + gemcitabine + attenuated doses of cisplatin, as first line treatment in elderly patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomised to receive either Avastin 7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 + gemcitabine 1200mg/m2 on days 1-8 of each 3 week cycle, or Avastin 7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 + cisplatin 60mg/m2 on day 1 + gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 on days 1-8 of each 3 week cycle. After 6 cycles of combination therapy, all patients will continue to receive Avastin monotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy, such as proton beam radiation therapy, that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving proton beam radiation therapy together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of proton beam radiation therapy when given together with cisplatin and etoposide and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery.
In this research study we are looking to see how effective BIBW 2992 is at suppressing the development of the T790M mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) are proteins found on the surface of some cancer cells that promote a growth signal. Some cancer drugs for NSCLC work to block this signal from reaching its target on the cancer cells which in turn may slow or stop the cancer from growing. However, many times patients with EGFR mutations will stop responding to these cancer drugs and develop drug-resistance because they have developed a specific EGFR mutation called T790M. BIBW 2992 may prevent the T790M mutation from becoming active and therefore slow disease progression.
This study will evaluate the anti-tumour activity, safety and tolerability of RO4929097 as monotherapy in patients with recurrent or refractory non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will receive oral doses of RO4929097 of 80mg (cohort 1) or recommended Phase II dose (cohort 2) on a 3 days on 4 days off schedule. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Target sample size is <50.
The overall aim of the study is: To provide accurate and reliable information regarding NSCLC clinical management across Central Eastern European countries and Russia in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease in terms of: - Patient and hospital characteristics. - Diagnostic and treatment approaches: initial and subsequent. - Follow-up patterns in clinical management. - Outcomes: symptoms, death, functionality, quality of life. - Use of resources and burden on patients and health care systems. Addendum objective is to collect epidemiological data on EGFR mutation status (M+, M-) in the Russian population
This is a phase I study to determine the safety, tolerability and recommended phase II dose of ARQ 197 given in combination with erlotinib as primary endpoints in patients with advanced/recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer. The pharmacokinetic profile and antitumor activity of ARQ 197 administered alone or in combination with erlotinib will also be determined as secondary endpoints.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and clinical efficacies of HLA-A*0201 or HLA-A*0206 restricted epitope peptides URLC10 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 for advanced non-small cell lung cancers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and clinical efficacies of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides URLC10, CDCA1, and KIF20A emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 for advanced non-small cell lung cancers.
To determine the tolerability, maximum tolerated dose and pharmacokinetics of this drug.
This observational study was planned, with the primary objective to observe patient survival following first-line treatment of patients of Stage IIIB/IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with different platinum-based doublets under routine disease management conditions. Further secondary objectives of this study are to provide insights to what extent histologic subtyping and the use of additional prognostic or predictive biomarkers are currently considered for differential therapeutic decisions under routine conditions. All of these data are critical to evaluate the factors for differential therapeutic decisions and their effect on patient outcomes in a real life setting, and they can only be obtained through observational research.
