Filter by:The purpose of this study is to establish on the market and to clinically evaluate a new strategy of treatment for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer using deformable repositioning of 4D imaging.
The primary objective of this study is to establish the objective response rate (complete response + partial response) following treatment with VELCADE in combination with cisplatin plus gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced (Stage IIIb) or metastatic (stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior antineoplastic therapy for advanced disease
This randomized, multicenter,open-label phase II/III study is to evaluate the effects of chemotherapy combination with autologous cytokine-induced killer Cell immunotherapy in patients with stage IIIb-IV squamous non-small-cell lung cancer
In France, lung cancer is responsible for more than 30000 each year. Progress was made in treatment of lung cancer in the last five years due to targeted therapies and to strategical evolutions consisting in a best adjustment of treatments. Maintenance strategies is one of this strategical evolution. It is based on maintaining continuous therapeutical pression in order to preserve the therapeutical benefit obtained by the first line (induction chemotherapy). Several clinical trials showed that maintenance strategies increase the duration of controlled disease. There is two types of maintenance strategies: - Continuous maintenance : prolongation of the treatment initially associated with platin until progression - Switch maintenance : introduction of a new treatment after the end of induction chemotherapy The aim of this study is to compare two maintenance strategies - A continuous maintenance by pemetrexed - A switch maintenance or a continuous maintenance according to the response of induction chemotherapy.
The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a novel, validated panel of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) histology-predictive genes (the "A/S signature) as a diagnostic tool for use with small-volume Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) biopsies. Objectives: 1. To establish FNA biopsy requirements for FNA-based subtype classification of NSCLC. 2. To define a "fixed statistical model" of histologic subtype prediction in NSCLC. Study methods: To establish FNA biopsy requirements for gene expression-based subtype classification of NSCLC, patients with presumed newly diagnosed NSCLC, where radiographic studies and clinical description favor a probable diagnosis of NSCLC, will undergo FNA biopsy according to current standard techniques . For this part of the study, approximately 40 biopsies of confirmed NSCLC will be collected for analysis. To define a fixed statistical model of histologic subtype prediction in NSCLC, we will prospectively collect 50 FNAs. These FNAs will represent Adenocarcinoma (AC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) cases at a ratio of approximately 1:1. Additional cases of not otherwise specified (NOS), should they be encountered, may also be collected for later analysis. FNA samples qualified based on cell number or ribonucleic acid (RNA) yield (depending on the findings of our primary objective)will be assayed on the QGS platform.
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and lethal neoplasias in the world. Currently used chemotherapy regimens have been disappointing in improving overall survival. Decitabine is a S-phase pyrimidine analog that induces DNA hypomethylation. This drug is currently used to treat Myelodysplastic Syndrome ( MDS) and has been studied for the treatment of leukemia. Genistein, is a soy extracted non-toxic isoflavone and phytoestrogen, which has been shown to inhibit activity of cell signaling pathways, such as those driven by tyrosine kinases. Results from in vitro experiments unambiguously demonstrated that the combination of these two compounds induces a synergistic reduction of the multiplication of lung, colon, breast and leukemic cancer cells. Consequently, clinical evaluation of this drug combination is warranted in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer ( NSCLC), and it is hypothezised that this new regimen will safely improve overall tumor response rate and cancer progression free survival. The proposed trial is a two part study: The phase I part is an open-label, dose-escalation evaluation in subjects with advanced solid tumors who have failed standard therapies and for whom no curative therapeutic option exists. A cohort of three subjects will be treated per dose level. One cycle is 28 days. Five different, increasing dose levels ranging from 60 mg/m2 to 500 mg/m2 of IV decitabine combined with a fixed oral dose of 150 mg BID of genistein will be tested. The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) will be determined based on the occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs). In the phase IIa part of the study, only Stage IIIb and IV advanced NSCLC patients will be treated at the recommended decitabine MTD dose combined with genistein. Safety and preliminary efficacy will be assessed. It is expected that a maximum sample of 46 patients will be enrolled in this trial.
This is the first human study to use X-396 (ensartinib), a drug being developed for treatment of advanced cancers. The initial purpose of the study is to determine the largest amount of X-396 that can be safely given to humans (the maximum tolerated dose). Once the recommended Phase 2 dose has been determined, an expansion phase will assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of X-396 in ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The study will also provide early information on how the body handles the drug (pharmacokinetics) and on the efficacy of X-396.
The purpose of the study is the identification of chromosomal aberrations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . The imaging system is intended for diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection, counting and classifying ALK FISH stained lung samples.
This research study examines the use of Abraxane (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) in patients with lung cancer. Abraxane is a chemotherapy approved to treat patients with breast cancer. Doctors want to know if Abraxane is safe and effective in treating patients with lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.
This study assessed the safety and efficacy of escalating doses INC280 when added to gefitinib in patients with lung cancer that were known to have dysregulation of the c-MET pathway and who had failed after benefiting on a prior treatment with either gefitinib or erlotinib.
