Filter by:This trial is studying two different schedules of docetaxel and bortezomib to compare how well they work in treating patients with progressive or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving docetaxel together with bortezomib may kill more tumor cells
BMS-275183 given orally twice weekly to patients pretreated for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC will show anti-tumor activity in any of the 3 separate cohorts of the patients enrolled: - Cohort I: Patients previously treated with one taxane containing regimen. - Cohort II: Patients previously treated with a platinum based but non-taxane containing regimen. - Cohort III: Patients previously treated with both a chemotherapy regimen and one EGFR-TKI (epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) compound. Patients in cohorts I and II should have not been treated with a prior EGFR-TKI compound. Prior treatment with a VEGFR (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor) inhibitor compound is allowed for all the patients provided that the VEGFR inhibitor is not also an EGFR inhibitor.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety profile and the secondary objective to estimate clinical benefit of ZD1839 (gefitinib).
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and docetaxel, 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. Oxaliplatin and docetaxel may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving oxaliplatin and docetaxel together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of oxaliplatin when given together with docetaxel and radiation therapy in treating patients with unresectable stage II or stage III or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer .
The purpose of this study is to help answer: - Whether pemetrexed, gemcitabine and/or carboplatin can shrink tumor(s) or make tumor(s) disappear in patients with relapsed lung cancer (lung cancer that has come back after surgical removal and chemotherapy), and to determine how long this will last - Whether pemetrexed, gemcitabine and/or carboplatin can help patients with relapsed lung cancer live longer
The purpose of this study was to see how well three investigational drugs worked together in preventing progression of the disease. This study provided a new combination of chemotherapy drugs - docetaxel and oxaliplatin - as first line therapy in the treatment of lung cancer. The therapy included bevacizumab that may prevent or slow down the blood supply to the tumor and may also prevent tumor growth. The three investigational drugs are United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved.
To determine the efficacy of ABT-751 when administered in combination with standard docetaxel in subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
RATIONALE: 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. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib followed by cisplatin or carboplatin and gemcitabine at disease progression may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib followed by cisplatin or carboplatin and gemcitabine works in treating patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
To determine the dose and schedule of sirolimus when given in combination with panitumumab in adult subjects with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC
The goal of this research study is to look at how long individuals who have been treated for early stage NSCLC or HNSCC live without developing lung cancer. Another goal is to develop tools to help predict the likelihood of lung cancer occurrence in this population. This will be done by studying characteristics of tissue and bodily fluids (including blood). Objectives: - To assess the smoking-related disease-free survival in patients who are current or former smokers with a prior definitively-treated stage I/II lung or head and neck cancer. - To develop a risk model to help predict the likelihood of lung cancer development both imaging and biomarker based in this high-risk population.
