Filter by:CH5424802 is a newly invented, selective oral ALK inhibitor. In the Phase I portion, the goal is to determine the following: dose limiting toxicity, the maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, and the recommended dose.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of a radiotherapy dose complement (boost) in the treatment of hypoxic lesions, measured by F-miso PET/CT, in patients with stage III NSCLC not amenable to surgery and candidate for chemoradiotherapy. Preliminary studies in head and neck cancers have demonstrated the feasibility and support the medical benefit of this novel approach. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a radiotherapy dose complement (boost) in this difficult medical condition for which only limited treatment options are available.
This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label, adaptive study to evaluate the efficacy of PaCE chemotherapy in chemotherapy naive subjects with extensive-stage SCLC. Eligible subjects will be stratified according to age, gender, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either PaCE or CE chemotherapy. The study design uses an adaptive group sequential approach with sample size re-estimation at the interim analysis. Secondary efficacy endpoints include ORR, PFS, duration of response and changes in QOL and disease-related symptoms. Tumor-related endpoints will be assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 guidelines. The safety of study treatments will be assessed by the frequency and severity of adverse events as determined by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03. To provide an initial confirmation of safety, an early interim analysis of safety data only will be performed. An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be convened to assess the safety and efficacy of the study interventions and to monitor the overall conduct of the clinical trial.
Eligible lung cancer patients: Undergo pre-treatment 4D-CT study for treatment planning External Beam Radiation: standard fractionation (2Gy per day) or stereotactic body radiation therapy Evaluation: Repeat 4D-CT study at 3 months and 6 months post-treatment Primary objectives: To assess pre-treatment global and focal lung strain and correlate with changes post-treatment
This screening study will address the lack of molecular strategies for the early detection of lung cancer and integrate those with epidemiological and imaging strategies. The hypothesis is that the repeated measure of biomarkers of risk obtained from the molecular analysis of biological specimens including those from bronchoscopy (bronchial brushings and biopsies) may contribute to the refinement of high-risk populations and allow an earlier clinical diagnosis. The goal of the investigators study is to provide screening for lung cancer in a high-risk population. In this prospective cohort it will be tested whether repeated measure of biomarkers of risk allows early detection of lung cancer.
This is a prospective, randomized, open label, parallel-group, multicenter phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of active specific immunotherapy with racotumomab plus best supportive care versus best supportive care in patients with advanced NSCLC who have achieved an Objective Response (Partial or Complete Response) or Stable Disease with standard first-line treatment. Also immunological parameters will be evaluated. Best supportive therapy will be administered to all patients in the study according to institutional standards and includes any subsequent onco-specific therapies. 1082 patients will be included in the study, with non-small cell lung cancer in stages IIIA (non-resectable), IIIB or IV.
This is a prospective non-randomized multicenter clinical trial performing endobronchial and esophageal ultrasound for mediastinal lymph node staging of operable and resectable cT1-T2-selectedT3 cN1 cM0 NSCLC.
This study is intended to assess the feasibility of adjusting a radiation plan during its course to accommodate for a shrinking tumor target. The investigators hypothesize that an adaptive radiotherapy (RT) planning strategy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with chest-confined disease will allow for safe delivery of higher doses of chest RT than a non-adaptive RT planning approach without subjecting normal critical structures to unacceptable doses of radiotherapy.
Gemcitabine, docetaxel, CPT-11 and cisplatin are effective in 1st line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Platinum-based doublets including gemcitabine, docetaxel or CPT-11 are standard 1st regimens. BRCA1 and RRM1 expression levels are reported to be associated with sensitivity of the tumor cells to cytotoxic agents. Some Phase II or III trials did prove feasibility of customized chemotherapy based upon expression levels of one or two biomarkers in the NSCLC patients. The investigators think customized chemotherapy may further improve efficacy of chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC. But there is no randomised trial to compare efficacy of standard chemotherapy with individualized chemotherapy in this setting. So, the investigators plan to initiate this phase II trial to compare efficacy between standard chemotherapy of gemcitabine/cisplatin versus customized chemotherapy in chemonaive NSCLC patients.
Stage IIIA NSCLC represents a relatively heterogeneous group of pts with ipsilateral mediastinal (N2) lymph node involvement. The relative roles of treatment modalities are not clearly defined. Concurrent chemoradiation therapy remains an important treatment for stage IIIA disease, but its treatment-related life threatening toxicity limits its use. The EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) may provide a dramatic response in pts with pulmonary adenocarcinoma carrying EGFR activating mutations in the metastatic setting. In the OPTIMAL study, first-line erlotinib versus carboplatin/GEM in advanced NSCLC pts with EGFR activating mutations, the primary analysis showed significantly prolonged progressive free survival (PFS) was with erlotinib vs carboplatin/GEM (p<0.0001). The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of erlotinib versus GEM plus cisplatin (GC) as neoadjuvant treatment in pts with stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC with EGFR activating mutations and to explore a new treatment strategy for this subset.
