Filter by:This study is to compare 2-year Disease Free Survival Rate (DFSR) in post radical operation IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) 19 or 21 exon mutation treated Erlotinib vs NP chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy.
The purposes of this study are to test whether the addition of cisplatin to single agent chemotherapy (either gemcitabine or pemetrexed) prolongs survival in elderly patients with non squamous non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to test whether pemetrexed prolongs survival as compared to gemcitabine in elderly patients with non squamous NSCLC.
A single arm, open label, phase IV trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of icotinib as first-line treatment for the elder patients with advanced or metastatic (IIIb and IV) NSCLC and mutated EGFR.
This is an exploratory study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-small cell lung cancer. Patients who are eligible to apply for Extended Access Program of crizotinib must have ALK translocation detected by RT-PCR, IHC or FISH analyses methods.
The investigators identified three cancer-testis antigens, as targets for cancer vaccination against lung cancer. In this clinical study, the investigators examine using a combination of three peptides from these three antigens (S-488410) the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.
CH5424802 is a newly invented, selective oral ALK inhibitor. In the Phase I portion, the goal is to determine the following: dose limiting toxicity, the maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, and the recommended dose.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of a radiotherapy dose complement (boost) in the treatment of hypoxic lesions, measured by F-miso PET/CT, in patients with stage III NSCLC not amenable to surgery and candidate for chemoradiotherapy. Preliminary studies in head and neck cancers have demonstrated the feasibility and support the medical benefit of this novel approach. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a radiotherapy dose complement (boost) in this difficult medical condition for which only limited treatment options are available.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT)-guided radiation therapy works compared to standard radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Using imaging procedures, such as PET and CT scans, to guide the radiation therapy, may help doctors deliver higher doses directly to the tumor and cause less damage to healthy tissue.
Substantial progress has been made in the treatment of cancer through the use of targeted therapies, but what works for one patient might not work for another patient. Certain drugs are now being developed that target specific molecules in the body that are believed to be part of the disease. Biomarkers are specific characteristics of the cancer that may help provide prognostic information (i.e. how well patients will be regardless of the treatments given) or help predict sensitivity or resistance to a specific treatment. The study will collect archival tumor samples (previously collected biopsy or surgical tumor samples) to provide biomarker data about a patient's cancer, in order to help their physicians to identify which clinical trials of molecularly targeted therapies may be most appropriate for the patient in the future.
This study examines preoperative Erlotinib in patients with operable stage II and IIIA Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutations.
