Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of auranofin when given together with sirolimus and to see how well it works in treating patients with lung cancer that has spread or other places in the body and cannot be cured or controlled by treatment or has come back after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. Auranofin and sirolimus may stop or slow the growth of lung cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the EGFR mutation can be detected in CTCs. CTCs are cancer cells that are shed from solid tumors and float freely in the bloodstream. A device called the CTC-chip has been developed to find CTCs in the blood of patients with cancer. This is an experimental device. Using this device, the investigators will test participants' blood to try and find CTCs with the EGFR mutation and compare them with the results from the biopsy your doctor has recommended. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a way to test for the EGFR mutation that is less invasive than a tumor biopsy.
Resistance of hypoxic tumor cells to radiation is a significant reason of failure in the local control of tumors, especially the squamous cell carcinomas. Preclinical models have shown that Endostar may transiently "normalize" the tumor vasculature to make it more efficient for oxygen delivery, thereby providing a window of opportunity for enhanced sensitivity to radiation treatment. This study is to evaluate the safety, toxicity, and efficacy of the addition of Endostar Continued Pumping into Vein to the standard CCRT regimen in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.
This pilot clinical trial studies cognitive behavioral therapy in treating anxiety in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers. Cognitive behavioral therapy may reduce anxiety and improve the well-being and quality of life of patients who have stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant interleukin-15 in treating patients with melanoma, kidney cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Recombinant interleukin-(IL)15 is a biological product, a protein, made naturally in the body and when made in the laboratory may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.
This clinical trial studies adherence to survivorship care guidelines in health care providers for non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer survivor care. The completion of an educational intervention by health care providers may increase compliance and adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for survivorship care.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well surgery and/or radiation therapy or standard therapy and/or clinical observation works in treating patients with previously treated stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving surgery and/or radiation therapy may be more effective than standard therapy and/or clinical observation in patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer.
EGFR-TKI is good for the patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.We design this clinical trail to confirm if the efficacy of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor(EGFR-TKI )(ICOTINIB) is better than whole brain irradiation for the patient with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
This observational study will evaluate the patterns of disease progression in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring EGFR activating mutations receiving Tarceva (erlotinib) as first-line treatment. Patients will be followed for up to 12 months after progression of disease.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PI3K inhibitor BKM120 when given together with carboplatin and pemetrexed disodium in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. PI3K inhibitor BKM120 and pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving PI3K inhibitor BKM120, carboplatin, and pemetrexed disodium together may kill more tumor cells
