Filter by:This study will explore the correlation of biomarkers with response rate, and the overall efficacy and safety, of Avastin in combination with carboplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to one of 2 groups, to receive either Avastin 7.5mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle, or Avastin 15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle; all patients will also receive treatment with carboplatin and either gemcitabine or paclitaxel for a maximum of 6 cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This randomized phase II trial studies pemetrexed disodium and sunitinib malate to compare how well they work when given alone or together as second-line therapy in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether pemetrexed disodium and sunitinib malate are more effective when given alone or together in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
Combination of Hycamtin (topotecan) and Avastin (bevacizumab) could allow killing of both endothelial and neoplastic cells. We postulate that addition of bevacizumab to topotecan will increase delivery of topotecan to tumor cells and may enhance activity of topotecan in patients with previously treated small cell lung cancer and improve progression free survival.
Simultaneous radio-chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study focusses on a randomised comparison of conventional radiotherapy planning with irradiation of macroscopic tumor and lymph nodes together with prophylactic target volumes vs. irradiation only of FDG-positive lesions. Primary endpoint is the local disease control in the chest.
This proposed Phase II trial will investigate the combination of irinotecan and carboplatin followed by sunitinib in the first-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage SCLC.
The purpose of this research study is to find out how well cetuximab works in treating NSCLC in patients who have been previously treated with a class of drug called tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Cetuximab is a protein that is designed to block a substance in cancer cells called "epidermal growth factor receptor" or EGFR. EGFR helps cancer cells grow.
This randomized phase III trial studies sunitinib malate to see how well it works when given as maintenance therapy (meaning it is approved for treatment after chemotherapy) in patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer who have responded to prior treatment with combination chemotherapy. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether sunitinib malate is effective in helping tumors continue to shrink or stop growing.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about genetic and environmental factors from patients with lung cancer and their partners and first-degree relatives may help doctors learn more about the disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at the patterns, causes, and control of disease in patients with lung cancer in the North Trent (England) region.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of phenethyl isothiocyanate may prevent lung cancer in people who smoke cigarettes. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying phenethyl isothiocyanate to see how well it works in preventing lung cancer in smokers.
RATIONALE: Calcitriol may prevent lung cancer in patients with metaplasia or dysplasia of the lungs. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of calcitriol in preventing lung cancer in current smokers and former smokers at high risk of lung cancer.
