Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to find out if the drugs MEK162 and erlotinib (Tarceva) given in combination are safe and have beneficial effects in patients who have NSCLC. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved MEK162 for use to treat NSCLC. Erlotinib is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
This is a Phase 2 study of oral dacomitinib given every 12 hours over days 1-4 of each two-week cycle to patients with Non-small cell lung cancer. The study includes two groups of patients, those whose tumor has a documented T790M mutation, and those without this mutation. All patients will receive repeated cycles of dacomitinib until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy during surgery in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as temoporfin, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed. This may be a better way to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved the drug for your type of cancer or for any use outside of research studies. It has been found that some people with NSCLC have a change (mutation) in a certain gene called the EGFR gene. This mutated gene helps cancer cells grow. The majority of NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations achieve good outcomes with erlotinib or other EGFR inhibitor therapies, with a high response rate, prolonged progression-free survival and possibly improved overall survival from therapy. However, the 4% of EGFR mutant patients that harbor an exon 20 insertion mutation historically have reaped little benefit from EGFR-directed therapy due to the low affinity of this mutation for direct EGFR inhibitors, especially erlotinib and gefitinib (see Yasuda et al, Lancet Oncol 2011). This group of patients is ideal for studying other targeted therapeutic strategies that could affect the oncogene mutation in EGFR via alternative mechanisms. AUY922 is an investigational drug that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. This drug has been used in other research studies. Information from those other research studies suggests that AUY922 may be effective in killing cancer cells in patients with exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of AUY922 and determine how well AUY922 works for participants with advanced NSCLC and exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR.
The purpose of this study was to test a potential new kind of anti-cancer treatment, called PRAME immunotherapy in resected patients with lung cancer. Based on scientific and medical relevance, the clinical study was ended on 24 August 2016. The participants were no longer enrolled in the study, the follow ups on subjects were stopped and the collection and analysis of samples for further research purposes was stopped. After the stop to recruitment, the study was unblinded, as per the amended protocol, the study treatment was continued and completed with the subjects of the active treatment group who were willing to continue. Subjects in the placebo group were withdrawn. There was no longer an active follow-up of patients after discontinuation or completion of the treatment. The study ended 30 days after the last dose was administered. As a result, primary and secondary objectives were not assessed as planned. All clinical and safety data collected in the study were analysed descriptively. For each biological sample already collected in the scope of this study and not tested yet, testing was not performed by default, except if a scientific rationale remained relevant despite the premature termination of the study.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of afatinib (Giotrif) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutation(s) and have never been treated with an EGFR-TKI
For elderly patient, the treatment of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer was based on monotherapy but IFCT-0501 trial begun in 2006, demonstrated that a bitherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is better than monotherapy in term of overall survival and progression free survival. The current recommendations are now to administer a carboplatin based bitherapy (4 or 6 cycles). After the treatment is stopped until progression and initiation of a second line treatment. The risk of this strategy is to be confronted to a rapid disease progression during the free interval. Indeed, about 1/3 of the patients whose disease was controlled after the chemotherapy do not receive 2nd line. The concept of maintenance is based on a continuous therapeutic pressure in order to preserve the therapeutic profit obtained by the treatment of 1st line (induction chemotherapy). There is two types of maintenance : - continuous maintenance therapy which consists in continuing the treatment initially associated with platinum until disease progression. - switch maintenance which consists in introducing a new treatment after the end of induction chemotherapy The two types are validated by several trials. The marketing authorization of pemetrexed was enlarged to maintenance for non squamous carcinoma. Gemcitabine has a good tolerance profile which make possible the use in a maintenance strategy. Several trials evaluated maintenance with this product and some show benefits in term of progression free survival. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the switch maintenance in elderly patient with a controlled disease after 4 cycles of chemotherapy carboplatin-paclitaxel.
Title: Randomized cross-over study of patient preference for oral or intravenous vinorelbine in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. A phase IV study. ShortTitle/ Acronym: VIVOS Protocol Code :IRST162.05 Study Design: Randomized, open label cross-over study Study Duration: Two years Study Center(s): Multicenter study Objectives: Primary: Patient preference for oral or intravenous vinorelbine Secondary: Overall Response Rate, Time to Progression, Toxicity, Survival, Subjective reasons for treatment choice. Number of Subjects: 120 Diagnosis and Main Inclusion Criteria: Patients affected by stage IIIB or stage IV NSCLC candidates to receive a first line chemotherapy with vinorelbine due to age ≥ 70 and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status ≤2 or age ≤ 70 but ECOG PS ≥ 2 Study Product, Dose, Route, Regimen and duration of administration : - Arm A: first cycle of IV vinorelbine (30 mg/m2) and second cycle of PO vinorelbine (60mg/m2) - Arm B: first cycle with PO vinorelbine (60mg/m2) followed by a second cycle of IV vinorelbine (30mg/m2) In both arms vinorelbine will be given at day 1 and day 8 every 3 weeks. From the third cycle onwards patients will have to choose to receive oral or intravenous vinorelbine. Vinorelbine capsules will be administered at the dosage of 60 mg/m2 for the first course and then may be increased to 80 mg/m² at physician's choice. Treatment will be repeated every 21 days and continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or patient refusal. Reference therapy: Vinorelbine 30 mg/m2 intravenous day 1 and 8 every 21 days Statistical Methodology: The sample size is calculated based on 75% of patients preferring "oral" vinorelbine and 25% preferring "intravenous" vinorelbine. Therefore, the investigators would compare patients preferring "oral" vinorelbine as 75% compared to a null hypothesis of 50% (no difference in proportion of patients preferring "oral" to "intravenous"). With 80% power and a total alpha of 0.05, the estimated sample size is 60 for group (120 total). During recruitment period, a formal interim analysis was planned when 60 patients (30 for group) have been enrolled, with a p-value <0.0001. To claim statistical significance in the final analysis, the overall p-value is still 5% (referred to Peto-Haybittle rule).
This multicenter, single-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) in participants with PD-L1-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Participants will receive an intravenous (IV) dose of 1200 milligrams (mg) atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles until disease progression. Eligible participants will be categorized in to three groups as follows: 1. Participants with no prior chemotherapy for advanced disease; 2. Participants who progress during or following a prior-platinum based chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease (2L+participants); 3. Participants who are 2L+ and previously treated for brain metastases.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the use of OCZ103-OS in combination with Platinum-Gemcitabine based doublet first line therapy in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
