Filter by:This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Tarceva plus Avastin, and chemotherapy plus Avastin, in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg p.o. daily plus Avastin 15mg/kg i.v. every 3 weeks, or standard platinum-based chemotherapy (4-6 cycles) plus Avastin. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This 2 arm study will evaluate the management of Tarceva-induced skin rash in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have failed first-line chemotherapy for advanced disease. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive a)doxycycline 100mg po daily or b)no preventative treatment; all patients will receive Tarceva 150mg/kg po daily. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or intolerable toxicity, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The primary objectives of this Phase 1b/2 study were as follows: - Phase 1b (Bolus and Infusion): To evaluate the safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors and in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma and in patients with refractory lymphoma. - Phase 2 (Bolus): To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) after 4 cycles of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine 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 more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well surgery followed by gemcitabine, cisplatin, and radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of enzastaurin and pemetrexed can extend survival time without progression of disease for participants who have advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
RATIONALE: Learning about the effects of radiation therapy on the body's muscles, organs, and bones in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer may help doctors plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the effects of radiation therapy on the body in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
Measure the 1 year survival of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are being treated with pemetrexed in combination with cisplatin and radiation.
RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. This may be an effective treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that blocks the air passages. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well photodynamic therapy using HPPH works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that blocks the air passages.
AZD0530 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II study is studying how well giving AZD0530 works in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
This phase II study is a single-arm, two-stage, multicentre study to determine the clinical activity of lapatinib in combination with pemetrexed in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have received one prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen. There will be a short safety run in portion of the study to determine the optimal treatment regimen (OTR) for the combination, since these two drugs have not previously been used together. Approximately 27 patients will be enrolled into the first stage of the study and if sufficient responses are seen an additional 27 patients will be enrolled into the second stage giving an overall evaluable patient number of 54. Patients will be treated with pemetrexed plus lapatinib at the determined OTR to disease progression, death or withdrawal from the study treatment for any reason. Safety and efficacy assessments will be performed on all patients at 6-week intervals, as well as at the end of treatment. Patients withdrawn from study treatment with stable disease will be assessed every 6 weeks until progression. Thereafter, patients will be followed for survival at approximately 12-week intervals until death or to a maximum of 5 years after last patient is enrolled, whichever comes first.
