Filter by:This is a Phase I Clinical Trial. Phase I studies are designed to determine the amount of investigational drugs that can be safely tolerated and to define the side effects that limit the dose. The drug administered in this study is KML-001. It is a highly soluble, orally available arsenic agent. It is currently being tested to determine its effects on telomerase activity. In other words, the purpose of this research study is to find the highest dose of KML001, that can be given without causing severe side effects when it is combined with a standard, commercially available anti-cancer drug called cisplatin.
The purpose of the study is to determine if U.S. manufactured Cetuximab can be safely used for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in combination with Cisplatin and Vinorelbine.
Seventy two patients are being asked to take part in this research study because they have been diagnosed with Stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is being done to determine the highest safe dose of proton beam radiotherapy and/or study drug (called Nelfinavir) that can be given with concurrent chemoradiotherapy to patients with cancer without causing bad side effects; and to develop biomarker for clinical outcome. This study will be done in two phases. In the first phase, feasibility will be established. We will follow patients treatment courses and record side effects at the standard proton radiation dose that can be given together with Cisplatinum + Etoposide or Carboplatin + Paclitaxel. In the second phase, we will see if it is possible to increase the total proton radiation dose or study drug without increasing the number of bad side effects while treated together with chemotherapy drugs.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab or pemetrexed disodium alone or in combination is more effective in treating non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying bevacizumab and pemetrexed disodium alone or in combination after induction therapy to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of LY2181308 in combination with docetaxel compared to docetaxel alone in participants with non-small cell lung cancer who were previously treated with first line chemotherapy.
This is a descriptive observational study. The primary objective is to explore the EGFR gene mutation status in early stage NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology after complete resection. The patients should be histological confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lung, have received complete resection and tested for EGFR mutation in regular medical practice.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving AMG 102 together with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin works in treating patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as AMG 102, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow or spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving AMG 102 together with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells
The purpose of this study is to assess short and long term outcomes after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with chemotherapy for pulmonary malignancies in patients who are not candidates for surgical resection. This study will evaluate the efficacy of RFA combined with chemotherapy for the treatment of lung tumors by assessing its impact on local tumor control, progression free survival, overall survival, dyspnea score and quality of life (QOL).
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized study of two different dose regimens of eribulin mesylate in combination with intermittent erlotinib in patients with previously treated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to establish the effects of VATS lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The aims of this study are: 1. To evaluate the early clinical benefits of VATS lobectomy when compared with the axillary thoracotomy. 2. To evaluate the late effects of VATS lobectomy on survival and quality of life when compared with axillary thoracotomy. 3. To establish the normative pattern of VATS lobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. 4. To explore the indication of VATS lobectomy for the lung cancer.
