Filter by:This study drug(Amrubicin)is believed to work by stopping the tumor cell in your body from growing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amrubicin with cisplatin compared to etoposide-cisplatin in the first-line treatment in extensive disease small cell lung cancer The subject, who is randomized to AP group may be involved into a pharmacokinetic study of amrubicin and the metabolites: amrubicinol voluntarily.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a cisplatin-etoposide regimen improves survival in comparison to a regimen containing etoposide and without platinum derivative.
To study the impact of endostar combined with docetaxel and cisplatin on the angiogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer, patients will be randomly assigned to the group one (endostar combined with docetaxel and cisplatin) and group two (docetaxel and cisplatin). - The serum concentrations of Endostatin,VEGF and bFGF are determined. - Blood circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells (CPCs) will be measured by flow cytometer. - Statistical analysis will be applied to study the relationship between the levels of Endostatin, VEGF, bFGF, CECs and CPCs and the clinical outcomes such as objective response rate(ORT), time to progression (TTP), mean survival time(MST), toxicity and quality of life (QOL).
This study is being done to determine the overall progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced or metastatic (Stage IIIB - pleural effusion/IV), non-squamous histology NSCLC treated with metronomic chemotherapy plus Avastin. Also, currently there are no defined markers that predict for clinical benefit to Avastin. Preliminary studies show that there are several observations that support the concept of metronomic chemotherapy with or without the combination of an anti-angiogenic agent. The metronomic chemotherapy with Avastin was shown to enhance the clinical endpoints of the study (response rate and progressive-free survival). Proof of metronomic scheduling requires the development of appropriate intermediate surrogate markers. Several markers will be assessed.
RATIONALE: Everolimus and vatalanib 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. Giving everolimus together with vatalanib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus and vatalanib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the safety of volociximab in combination with a standard treatment of carboplatin and paclitaxel in subjects previously untreated with chemotherapy for advanced stage (IIIB/IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Rationale: Vaccines made from allogeneic tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a lung cancer vaccine in patients with Stage I or Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after completion of initial definitive therapies.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying celecoxib in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether S-1 is effective as 2nd line therapy in slowing tumor activity in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study is also looking at the safety of S-1.
This study will compare the anti-tumor efficacy of apricoxib and erlotinib with placebo and erlotinib as measured by time to disease progression to test the hypothesis that down regulation of COX-2 and EGFR pathways in patients with up-regulated COX-2 expression in tumor will have a clinical benefit compared with erlotinib alone.
