Filter by:RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as measured by objective response rate 2. To evaluate the safety of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive SCLC The secondary objectives are: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive SCLC as measured by duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival 2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of glufosfamide and isophosphoramide mustard (IPM) The exploratory objectives of this trial are: 1. To evaluate the effect of glufosfamide on lung cancer symptoms 2. To evaluate the role of tumor cell glucose transporter expression on the efficacy of glufosfamide
The aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerability (in terms of drug delivery and toxicity) of four cycles of adjuvant docetaxel plus cisplatin in patients with completely resected stage IB-II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. To avoid a selection bias, eligible patients will be randomised to receive cisplatin/docetaxel or cisplatin/vinorelbine.
This is a Phase II, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter trial designed to provide a preliminary assessment of the safety and efficacy of sunitinib when combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy and bevacizumab in patients with locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic NSCLC who have not received prior systemic therapy for NSCLC. All patients will have advanced, histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC (Stage IIIb with pleural effusions, Stage IV, or recurrent).
This study will evaluate the safety of everolimus in combination with pemetrexed when used as treatment in patients with non small cell lung cancer.
The aims of this study are: (1) to assess the safety and activity of gemcitabine plus Alimta (pemetrexed) regimen (GA regimen) in patients with advanced NSCLC patients in the context of a randomized trial, and (2) to compare the GA with the paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (PG regimen) in terms of toxicity and QoL
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known which schedule of radiation therapy is more effective when given together with chemotherapy in treating small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of radiation therapy to compare how well they work when given together with cisplatin and etoposide in treating patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, cisplatin, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pravastatin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by making tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether etoposide and cisplatin or carboplatin are more effective with or without pravastatin in treating small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying etoposide and cisplatin or carboplatin to see how well they work when given as first-line chemotherapy together with pravastatin compared with first-line chemotherapy and a placebo in treating patients with small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of IPI-504 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will examine how IPI-504 is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated by the body. The study will also evaluate the anti-tumor activity of IPI-504.
This trial will compare the effectiveness of Docetaxel with or without Carboplatin as second line chemotherapy in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, who have not been treated previously with Docetaxel.
