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 this study is to find a recommended dose of LY2940680 that can be safely given in combination with etoposide and carboplatin followed by LY2940680 alone in participants with extensive-disease small cell lung cancer. The study will also compare progression-free survival in participants who are administered etoposide, carboplatin and LY2940680 followed by LY2940680 alone versus etoposide, carboplatin, and placebo followed by placebo alone.
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.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of increased dose of icotinib in advanced NSCLC patients who progressed after gefitinib therapy.
All subjects will receive the vaccine subcutaneously every 3 weeks x 3 with optional yearly booster vaccines up to and including 5 years post last vaccine for those patients who are confirmed responders to the vaccine . The rationale for using Poly-ICLC as an adjuvant are two ongoing trials at University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) of the MUC1 100mer peptide vaccine - one as a therapeutic vaccine in subjects with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer and the other in subjects with advanced colonic adenomas at risk for developing colon cancer. The same formulation, MUC1 100mer peptide admixed with Poly-ICLC, is used in both trials. There has been no toxicity observed and the vaccine is highly immunogenic in early disease. In the proposed NSCLC trial the anti-MUC1 immune response will be thoroughly characterized.
This is a pilot study, single-center, prospective, open-label, to assess the acceptability and performance of the experimental medical device (SPI) used during an imaging examination (PET / CT 4D imaging in synchronized mode centered on the thorax). Each patient will be its own control, since the imaging examination will be synchronized simultaneously with the two systems: tested Medical Device (SPI) and reference Medical Device(RPM).
Intrapatient dose escalation of desipramine. Start at 75 mg daily. Increase by 75 mg weekly to maximum of 450 mg daily. Taper desipramine upon disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal from study.
This is a pilot study that aims to develop a lung cancer screening program for workers in British Columbia, Canada exposed to asbestos who are at risk of developing lung cancer/pleural mesothelioma. This is high risk population is at of respiratory system diseases as a result of their occupational exposures. Additionally, knowledge garnered from this study will allow us to develop other studies that will further our understanding of asbestos related lung cancer and mesothelioma.
