Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to evaluate if necitumumab added to standard chemotherapy of paclitaxel and carboplatin is more effective to treat cancer than the standard chemotherapy of paclitaxel and carboplatin alone.
The purpose of the Phase 1b portion of the study is to investigate how the body tolerates necitumumab, in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy as first line treatment in participants with Stage IV squamous NSCLC and to determine the recommended dose for the subsequent Phase 2 portion of the study. The purpose of the Phase 2 portion of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of necitumumab in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy in participants with Stage IV squamous NSCLC in a first-line setting.
The study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of paclitaxel-bevacizumab comparing to docetaxel. Docetaxel is a standard treatment of 2nd or 3rd line in lung cancer. It was validated by numerous clinical trials but sometimes toxicities are difficult to manage. Bevacizumab is an antiangiogenic treatment which was validated by numerous clinical trials in association with platinum in first ligne. Different clinical and preclinical data suggest that there could exist a synergy between paclitaxel and bevacizumab. This association is already used in metastatic breast cancer, it permits almost to double the response rate and progression free survival. In lung cancer, the association was evaluated by two retrospective studies which demonstrated a benefit with a favourable safety profile.
BCD-021-02 is a double-blind randomized clinical trial comparing efficacy of BCD-021 (INN: bevacizumab) and paclitaxel + carboplatin to Avastin and paclitaxel + carboplatin in inoperable or advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients with pharmacokinetics substudy. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of efficacy and safety of BCD-021 compared to Avastin. Also study includes pharmacokinetics assessment.
The investigators propose this phase I/II study to use weekly Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) and carboplatin with concurrent radiation in local-regionally advanced lung cancer. There are no published human studies combining Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) with radiation. The investigators will first confirm the tolerated dose (TD) of concurrent Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) at 50mg/m2, and then will begin enrolling patients into the phase II component using either Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) at the TD with carboplatin concurrent with daily radiation or paclitaxel with carboplatin concurrent with daily radiation.
This prospective cohort trial was planned to assess the feasibility of establishing a lung cancer screening program in Russian Federation using low-dose CT scanning in asymptomatic patients with at least a 30 pack-year history of cigarette smoking.
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 and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it-such as the safest dose to use, the side effects it may cause and if the drug is effective for treating your type of cancer. 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 ALK gene. This mutated gene helps cancer cells grow. There is a drug (crizotinib) that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of people with NSCLC who have mutations in the ALK gene. Most people respond to crizotinib initially. Over time, however, patients may stop responding (become resistant) to crizotinib because of additional changes in the ALK gene that makes crizotinib ineffective. 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 that have become resistant to drugs like crizotinib. Only participants with changes in the ALK gene will be allowed to participate in this study. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of AUY922 and determine how well AUY922 treats participants with advanced, ALK-positive NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to treat patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with a combination therapy of selumetinib and two different doses of docetaxel 75mg/m2 or 60 mg/m2 vs placebo and compare how well each dose affects how their cancer responds. It will also help us to understand the tolerability profile of the different dosing regimens in these patients
The purpose of the study is to investigate the change in pulmonary function and exercise capacity in lung cancer patients after pulmonary resection. Furthermore, to study the effect of training on aerobic capacity, muscular strength, morbidity and survival. Physical activity level by accelerometers, body composition by DXA and quality of life will also be reported.
That computed tomography (CT) screening of HIV-seropositive heavy smokers will detect early stage lung cancer at significantly higher rates than what is currently being observed.
