Filter by:Sometimes, cancer comes back after it has been successfully treated—a situation called recurrent cancer. When recurrent cancer is suspected, the standard approach to diagnosis is to perform a combination of imaging tests, such as x-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine scans. Sometimes, however, after performing these tests it still may not be clear whether or not the cancer has come back. Some studies have shown that a diagnostic imaging test called Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) may be helpful in the diagnosis of recurrent lung, breast, head and neck, ovarian or esophageal cancer or lymphoma. However, it is not clear if PET/CT can offer better results than standard approaches to diagnosis. This feasibility study is needed to determine how common it is for a diagnosis of recurrent cancer to be unclear even after standard diagnostic imaging tests have been completed. If the enrollment goal is reached (~60 patients enrolled in 18 months), a larger clinical trial is being planned to determine if PET/CT is helpful in making the diagnosis of recurrent cancer in situations where standard imaging tests have not been helpful. It is also expected that the results of this feasibility study will help to define exactly which patients should be enrolled in this larger clinical trial of PET/CT.
Present study is to investigate efficacy and toxicity profiles of induction one cycle of paclitaxel plus cisplatin (PC), concurrent 2 cycles of PC with radiotherapy, followed by 2 cycles of PC consolidation chemotherapy.
This trial will determine the maximum tolerated dose the recommended phase II dose and the efficacy of this combination in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicity, and recommended Phase II dose of ixabepilone in combination with carboplatin in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomised, phase III study of 2 cycles of oral vinorelbine in combination with cisplatin concurrently with radiotherapy randomised to either two more cycles of consolidation therapy with oral vinorelbine and cisplatin plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) or BSC alone in patients with unresectable locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective is to compare progression-free survival in both arms, the secondary is to evaluate the response rate, overall survival in both arms, to evaluate the safety profile in both arms and to assess quality of life by the LCSS questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Mycobacterium w in combination with Paclitaxel plus Cisplatin are effective in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung cancer.
This is an open-label, two-arm, Phase I, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the optimal tolerated regimen(OTR) of pazopanib in combination with gemcitabine (Arm A) or pazopanib, gemcitabine, and cisplatin (Arm B) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 to receive escalating doses of pazopanib and gemcitabine or pazopanib, gemcitabine and cisplatin. Dose escalation schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, the OTR will be defined as the highest dose combination of the agents where no more than one out of six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity. Six to twelve additional patients in each arm will be studied with the OTR to evaluate toxicity and pharmacokinetics. This will allow an assessment of potential drug-drug interactions. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria.
Rationale: Vaccines made from gene-modified tumor cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy is more effective than a placebo as maintenance therapy in treatment of subjects with non-small cell lung cancer. Purpose: This randomized phase III trial is studying vaccine therapy to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating subjects with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combination of the drugs docetaxel (Taxotere ® ), plus vinorelbine (Navelbine ® ), will result in fewer side effects than cisplatin chemotherapy, thereby improving delivery of chemotherapy in patients. Another purpose of this study is to determine whether a third drug, bevacizumab (Avastin®), may be delivered safely with docetaxel plus vinorelbine in patients who are eligible to receive bevacizumab.
The safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ASA404 when administered in combination with paclitaxel and Carboplatin are assessed. ASA404 is administered intravenously every 21 days to Japanese patients with Non small cell lung cancer.
