Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the objective response rate (change in tumor size from baseline) in patients with advanced or metastatic squamous cell nonsmall-cell lung cancer treated with Nivolumab (BMS-936558) after failure of 2 prior systemic regimens
The aim of this study is to determine prospectively the value of a recently identified proteomic signature in identifying those patients with lung cancer, who are likely to benefit from and respond favourably to erlotinib therapy. This is a prospective study of serum proteomics as a predictor of response to erlotinib therapy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of AT13387 Alone and in Combination with Crizotinib in the Treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving reolysin in combination with docetaxel or pemetrexed can offer better results than standard therapy with docetaxel or pemetrexed alone.
At present, the treatment of non-squamous cell lung cancer is based on chemotherapy with platinum eventually associated with bevacizumab. A new treatment begins at progression. In colo-rectal metastatic cancer, it was demonstrated that the first-line of treatment could be administered according to a stop and go strategy respecting therapeutic breaks between sequences of identical treatment. During these therapeutic breaks, a treatment of maintenance is possibly better than an absence of treatment. These plans benefit to the patients in terms of efficiency but also in terms of toxicity, in particular neurological. The question is to know if this strategy is feasible in lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ramucirumab in combination with docetaxel in participants with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who have had disease progression during or after one prior first-line platinum-based chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy for advanced/metastatic disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly nab-paclitaxel for a second-line treatment in elderly subjects, 70 years of age or greater, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
The French National Cancer Institute (INCa) support a 28 hospital platforms network for molecular testing of cancer patients. These platforms routinely assess a panel of biomarkers in order to speed up access of French cancer patients to targeted therapies (commercially available or through clinical trials). The objective of the BIOMARKERS-France study is to describe the epidemiological, clinical and molecular characteristics of these patients and their tumors and to assess the impact of these analyzes on their treatment (ie bio-guided therapy) as well as outcomes (response rate, progression free and overall survival).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the investigational study drug everolimus may be used to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment for patients with advanced lung cancer.
Purpose: Overall lung surgery rates and black/white disparities have not improved during a decade of documentation. The goal of this study is to incorporate lessons from the previous prospective cohort study to optimize lung cancer surgery rates and narrow black-white disparities for patients diagnosed with stage I or II, non-small cell lung cancer. Participants: Stage I and II, non-small cell lung cancer at 3 participating sites. Procedures: Phase I of the study has been completed. Phase I was a deidentified 3-year, retrospective chart review, used to establish the baseline surgical rates for the intervention. The patient enrollment phase of the study will move forward that will include use of a real time registry to follow patient progression through clinical follow up, diagnostic testing and treatment for biopsy proven or highly probable early stage, non-small cell lung cancer. The patient enrollment portion of the study will start, September 2012. All patients with Stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer who enroll in the study will be entered into real time registries at every site. Patients' progress through the registries including follow-up provider visits, diagnostic tests, and procedures will be transparent and any missed appointments will be flagged. Feedback will be given to lung cancer providers in both arms. The randomized trial will compare patients who receive usual care plus the registry to those who receive the registry plus visits and calls from a trained cancer communicator -educator (CCE) who is well versed in issues specific to lung cancer and trained in active listening and communication that accounts for patients' limitations in health literacy. The CCE will also use Kleinman's Patient Model to identify attitudes or beliefs that represent barriers to recommended care that could potentially be addressed through negotiation and more targeted communication. The hypothesis is that an electronic warning system, data transparency, and enhanced communication will optimize lung surgery rates and reduce racial gaps.
