Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a potential drug known as KOS-862 or "Epothilone D" has an effect as a 2nd line treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for patients having failed one prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen.
The purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity (response rate, time to tumor progression, survival) and safety of docetaxel in combination with talabostat in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have failed a prior platinum-containing regimen.
The purpose of this study it to determine whether supplemental treatment with Iscar improves immune function and quality of life among Stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma patients receiving conventional chemotherapy. Iscar is an herbal medicine made from the total plant extract of mistletoe. this preparation is already in use in Europe and its use in the US is likely to increase as cancer patients continue to seek alternative therapies.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine, gemcitabine, docetaxel, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well giving vinorelbine together with gemcitabine and docetaxel works compared to giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin in treating patients with stage IIIB, stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Amifostine may be effective in reducing pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well amifostine works in reducing pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in patients who have received paclitaxel for solid tumors.
A study to measure the safety and effectiveness of S-3304 when given in combination with conventional chemo-radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 3-AP and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving 3-AP together with gemcitabine as second-line therapy works in treating patients with recurrent stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Evaluating specific proteins in the blood may be an effective and noninvasive procedure to help doctors determine if a patient has early non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying proteomic profiling to see how well it works in diagnosing non-small cell lung cancer in patients who are undergoing resection for suspicious (abnormal) stage I lung lesions.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs, such as dimesna, may help prevent or decrease the side effects (such as nerve, kidney, and inner ear damage) caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying giving docetaxel and cisplatin together with dimesna to see how well it works compared to giving docetaxel and cisplatin alone in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ABI-007, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ABI-007 and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
