Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine if DCAMLK1 can be measured in the endobronchial biopsy specimens and bronchial washings from patients with lung cancer.
Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. The major advances in treatment of lung cancer have brought only minor improvements in survival therefore novel systemic treatment methods are urgently needed. Protein levels are regulated by the protein homeostasis network that generates and protects the protein fold (ER and Golgi included). The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential molecular chaperon involved in the posttranslational folding and stability of proteins. Hsp90 inhibition leads to accumulation of unfolded proteins and ER stress. The therapeutic efficacy of such inhibition may be augmented by co-administering it with other drugs that disrupt ER-Golgi homeostasis like histone deacetylase (HDAC) or proteasome inhibitors. ER-Golgi homeostasis disruption affects a wide network of proteins and pathways as such affords a systemic target. Thus, the investigators aimed to examine the effect of combined treatment of Hsp90 antagonist with proteasome or HDAC inhibitors on human lung cancer cell lines and primary cells.
Apatinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and it's anti-angiogenesis effect has been viewed in preclinical tests. Phase I study has shown that the drug's toxicity is manageable and the maximum tolerable daily dose is 850 mg. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib can improve progression free survival compared with placebo in patients with advanced non-squamous and non-small cell lung cancer who failed two lines of chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose, antitumor activity, safety and pharmacology of MEDI-575 in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in subjects with previously untreated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of different dose of LMWH compared with fondaparinux for thromboprophylaxis is efficacious and safety after thoracic surgery.
Primary Objective: - Response rate (by contrast CT scan) Secondary Objectives: - Progression-free survival (PFS) - Overall survival (OS)
This was a 2-arm, open-label, phase 2 study of pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG) 20 in subjects with relapsed sensitive or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC). ADI-PEG 20 was administered intramuscularly (IM) at a fixed dose of 320 IU/m^2 once weekly for a 4-week cycle. The primary objective was to assess clinical efficacy with a primary endpoint of tumor response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 after 4 weeks. Secondary objectives were to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of ADI-PEG 20, as well as clinical efficacy with a secondary endpoint of overall survival.
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate progression free survival (PFS) improvement for ombrabulin compared to placebo, in combination with taxane and platinum, as first line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Secondary Objective: - To determine overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, safety, and evaluate potential biomarkers, pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of ombrabulin and its main metabolite, RPR258063, using a population approach.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if knowing biomarker status can help researchers find better treatment combinations for patients with advanced NSCLC. Researchers want to use biomarker status to decide what drug (bevacizumab, or cixutumumab) to give in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed. The safety of these drug combinations will also be studied.
This is an open label Phase II Trial that using the investigational anti-cancer agent, Pazopanib to see whether non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer will respond to its use by decreasing the size of the tumor or stopping its growth.
