Filter by:1. Trial design: Prospective observational study 2. Target population: 200 NSCLC patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV or recurrent NSCLC who have progressive disease after 1st line chemotherapy who consent for study participation and meet the study selection criteria 3. Primary objective: To investigate C-met expression/amplification and EGFR gene mutations in NSCLC patients treated with Erlotinib - C-met expression by IHC C-met amplification by SISH EGFR mutation by real time PCR 4. We will also assess the correlation of EGFR mutations and c-MET with clinical outcome (Overall Response Rate, Progression Free survival ) 5. Duration of Trial Recruitment: 2 years
With roughly 80% of cancer patients receiving their oncology care in the community setting, the investigators are proposing to sample from a community-based center to evaluate the percentage of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-wild type patients that gain benefit from erlotinib and assess the clinical characteristics that are associated with erlotinib-responders. Additionally, biopsy specimens from enrolled patient cases that are EGFR-wt will be evaluated via exploratory genetic analysis for correlated markers.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best schedule of vaccine therapy with or without sirolimus in treating patients with cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) expressing solid tumors. Biological therapies, such as sirolimus, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Infusing the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without sirolimus in treating solid tumors.
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with paclitaxel plus platinum in patients with incurable Stage IIIB or Stage IV squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients will be randomized to receive either onartuzumab (MetMAb) 15 mg/kg iv or placebo on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle in combination with 4 cycles of paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 iv and platinum (carboplatin/cisplatin) iv on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Patients who have not progressed after 4 cycles will continue with either onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo as maintenance therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
This research trial studies biomarkers in predicting the risk of cancer returning after surgery in tissue samples of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer and predict how well patients will respond to treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving erlotinib and dovitinib together to treat patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib blocks the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and has known activity in non-small cell lung cancer and dovitinib blocks the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and other targets which may be important to treat lung cancer. The combination of both drugs may work better than either drug alone, but may also have increased side effects. This trial will look at the side effects of combining the drugs and look for how effective the combination may be.
The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and toxicity of icotinib combined with WBRT in treating patients with multiple brain metastases from NSCLC.
This is a study of gefitinib plus olaparib gefitinib in combination with olaparib (AZD2281) versus gefitinib alone, in patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation positive advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of second-line Tarceva (erlotinib) in patients with previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer with confirmed wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. The aim of the study is to identify from baseline clinical and demographic patient characteristics prognostic factors related to overall survival with second-line Tarceva treatment. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 2 years.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare 2 types of radiotherapy, stereotactic body photon radiotherapy (SBRT) and stereotactic body proton radiotherapy (SBPT). Researchers would like to compare the side effects, quality of life, and cancer control.
