Filter by:This clinical study is being conducted at multiple sites to determine the activity, safety, and tolerability of XL999 when given weekly to patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). XL999 is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple kinases including VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, FLT-3, and Src, which are involved in tumor cell growth, formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), and metastasis.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, carboplatin, and paclitaxel 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) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with carboplatin followed by paclitaxel works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving oral HYCAMTIN to patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer benefits them. The study will compare how long patients live when they are given therapy to make them feel better (active symptom control) to the length of time patients live when they are also receiving oral HYCAMTIN.
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether erlotinib is more effective than a placebo in treating non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying erlotinib to see how well it works compared to a placebo in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. 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. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving celecoxib after radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill any tumor cells that remain after radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Sometimes, after radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying celecoxib to see how well it works compared to observation in treating patients who have undergone radiation therapy and chemotherapy for stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
This is an open-label dose escalation trial using ABI-007 plus carboplatin.
Randomised trial of chemotherapy or not before surgery in early resectable stages of NSCLC (IB, IIA, IIB, and IIIA/N2).
Hypothesis is that surgery is of benefit in locally advanced NSCLC with N2 disease. Patients are randomised to surgery or not.
The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Avastin® in combination with docetaxel and carboplatin in the treatment of lung cancer. The safety of this combination will also be studied.
- Primary : To determine the safety profile of each treatment group. - Secondary : To determine efficacy in term of overall response, disease free survival and survival at 1 and 2 years.
