Filter by: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
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 research study is to investigate the differences in "natural killer (NK) blood cells, a type of white blood cell that fights infection in the body, among different types of patients that have lung surgery. The four different groups of patients are: - smokers with lung cancer - smokers without lung cancer - non-smokers with lung cancer - non-smokers without 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.
Since mid-2000, thoracoscopic lobectomy has been replaced with conventional open lobectomy and it has reduced the operative morbidities and mortalities. However, thoracoscopic lobectomy also results in operative acute pain and the incidence of chronic pain after thoracoscopic lobectomy has been reported as up to 50%. Penetration of chest wall by trocar, torque at trocar and working window by operator, and compression of intercostal nerves have been suggested as a cause of pain after thoracoscopic lobectomy. The intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) that usually have used to control the operative pain, sometimes cause the side effects such as sedation, nausea and vomiting due to its systemic delivery of analgesics. Because of these side effects, IV PCA has to be discontinues and the effective dose of analgesics could not deliver to patients. In contrast to IV PCA, continuous paravertebral infusion of local anesthetics thorough catheter below the parietal pleura might reduce the side effects of IV PCA and control the operative pain effectively. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of continuous paravertebral infusion of local anesthetics thorough catheter below the parietal pleura for 60 hours after operation competed to IV PCA.
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.
