Filter by:This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor when given together with several different standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens in treating patients with malignancies that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Selinexor may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Studying selinexor with different standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens may help doctors learn the side effects and best dose of selinexor that can be given with different types of treatments in one study.
Nicotinamide is an inhibitor of human sirtuins (HDAC III), and is found to re-activate epigenetically silenced tumor suppressors, RUNX3 (runt-related gene 3) and others, in cancer cells. Nicotinamide was found to be effective in several animal cancer models including lung, bladder, liver, etc. The purpose of this study is to determine whether nicotinamide is also effective in the treatment of human lung cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ramucirumab in combination with erlotinib as compared to placebo in combination with erlotinib in previously untreated participants with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (Exon 19-Del and Exon 21 L858R). Safety and tolerability of ramucirumab in combination with erlotinib will be assessed in Part A before proceeding to Part B. The purpose of Part C is to determine the efficacy and safety of ramucirumab in combination with gefitinib in previously untreated East Asian participants with EGFR mutation-positive metastatic NSCLC and of ramucirumab in combination with osimertinib in those participants whose disease progressed on ramucirumab and gefitinib and that have T790M - positive metastatic NSCLC.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. Giving pembrolizumab with chemoradiotherapy or radiation therapy may be a better treatment for small cell lung cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with malignant mesothelioma, a cancer of the linings around the lungs (pleura) or abdomen (peritoneum). Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, work by blocking a protein called programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) which may stimulate an immune response and kill tumor cells.
This is a phase I/II trial on concomitant RT-full dose CHT using accelerated hypofractionation schedule as currently being in routine use in Poland for sequential combination or RT alone. Objectives of the study are: to estimate rate of grade ≥ 3 CTCAE adverse effects related to treatment and to estimate tumor control, progression free-survival, and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen. Stage III NSCLC patients are treated according to the following schedule: RT: 58.8 Gy in 21 fractions (2.8 Gy/fraction, 5 times a week, 6 times in the third week; CHT concomitant with RT (2 cycle of Cisplatinum and Vinorelbine, every 21 days). Feasibility of the studied approach is evaluated by scoring the toxicity during RT-CHT and therafter, as well as percentage of treatment completion; efficacity is evaluated by estimation of local control and survival. If toxicity and efficacity are similar or better than those observed in modern series of conventionally fractionated RT-CHT, the studied regimen will become a routine treatment schedule in our institution in order to spare RT resources. In the future, a randomized comparison of the studied schedule with conventionally fractionated RT-CHT for locally advanced NSCLC is also planned.
This Phase II randomized study is to determine whether once-daily simultaneous modulated accelerated thoracic radiotherapy (RT) resulted in better survival than twice-daily RT for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC).
AC0010 is a novel, potent, small molecule irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively targets mutant forms of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) while sparing wild-type (WT) EGFR. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profile of oral AC0010; to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of oral AC0010; to assess the safety and efficacy of AC0010 in previously treated mutant EGFR in NSCLC patients with EGFR T790M mutation.
The project aims to compare the histopathological and molecular characteristics of tumour tissue from metastases with similar analyses of the primary tumour in the lung, where it is available. The investigators will therefore perform analysis of blood samples if possible, to identify predictive markers in blood samples.
There has been limited benefit with angiogenesis inhibitor drugs in molecularly unselected patients in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigators propose that patients who are molecularly selected for treatment with nintedanib based on the presence of mutations in the following genes: VEGFR1-3, PDGFR-A, PDGFR-B, FGFR1-3, and TP53, will have clinically meaningful benefit in terms of response rate (RR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Furthermore the investigators plan to correlate outcomes with specific mutations and evaluate mechanisms of resistance.
