Filter by:RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in peptides and proteins and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood samples from patients with malignant melanoma, metastatic breast cancer, advanced lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, or colorectal cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase Ib dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral (PO) GDC-0941 administered with one of three planned regimens: Arm A: paclitaxel and carboplatin in bevacizumab-ineligible NSCLC patients, Arm B: paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab in bevacizumab-eligible NSCLC patients and Arm C: pemetrexed, cisplatin, and bevacizumab in bevacizumab-eligible, non-squamous NSCLC patients.
This study will enroll patients who are planned to undergo surgical removal of their tumor. The goal of the study is to evaluate the changes that occur in the tumor after brief (about 8 days) exposure to the study drug.
RATIONALE: 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with docetaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with docetaxel and gemcitabine hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage IIIB, stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a prospective randomized clinical trial with the study cohort comprised of all male and female patients over the age of 21 presenting to the study site for evaluation of lung cancer. The study will enroll 300 subjects, with 150 in each arm. Three sites will be in the study, Mayo Rochester, Mayo Jacksonville and Medical University of South Carolina. Mayo Rochester will enroll approximately 125 subjects. This study does not require subjects to undergo any additional procedures than what they would receive per standard medical care. The consenting subjects will receive EUS and /or EBUS- guided FNA or Mediastinoscopy/Thoracoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BIIB022, Paclitaxel and Carboplatin are effective in the treatment of Treatment-Naive, Stage IIIB/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Chloroquine might very well be able to increase overall survival in small cell lung cancer by sensitizing cells resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
This study is being done to learn what the needs are in relation to the family members. Some family members seek counseling; others do not. The institution wants to try to understand why and wants to see if they can improve our support services for family members.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether NRX 194204 is effective in the treatment of advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
RATIONALE: A screening questionnaire may help doctors plan better treatment for older patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying a questionnaire in screening older patients with cancer.
