Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the three-drug combination paclitaxel, carboplatin, and gemcitabine to the two-drug combination gemcitabine and vinorelbine in patients with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Because of the demonstrated single agent activity and excellent tolerability in patients with refractory non-small cell lung cancer, ZD1839 may be of benefit in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have poor performance status. In this phase II trial, we will investigate the single agent activity of first-line ZD1839 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with poor performance status
In this randomized trial, we attempt to further define optimal palliative chemotherapy for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer by comparing single agent treatment with weekly docetaxel versus combination therapy with weekly docetaxel plus gemcitabine.
In this phase II study, we plan to evaluate several novel components of therapy. In patients with potentially resectable stages IIB (T3N0) and IIIA we will compare weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin with concomitant radiation therapy versus weekly paclitaxel and every 4 week carboplatin in the preoperative (neoadjuvant) setting. For patients with potentially resectable stage IB, IIA and IIB (T2N1) tumors, weekly paclitaxel and every 4 week carboplatin will be given pre-operatively (neoadjuvant). The feasibility of resection will be evaluated in the neoadjuvant group of patients. The continued study of concurrent radiation therapy with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin will be evaluated in those patients with stage IIB (T3N0) and IIIA disease who initially had resection (adjuvant setting). Lastly, weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin every 4 weeks will be evaluated as an adjuvant program in patients who had completely resected stage IB, IIA and IIB (T2N1).
In this trial we will evaluate and compare the efficacy and toxicity of oral topotecan with intravenous docetaxel in the second-line treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
The association between cancer and thrombosis is well known and the occurrence of thrombotic complications is commonly associated with poor prognosis. The aim os this study is to determine the possible value of hypercoagulable parameters as prognostic parameters in advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the response rate of patients with non small lung cancer to gemcitabine in combination with radiotherapy. The tolerability and safety of this combination will also be evaluated.
Based on available data, the concept of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy seems to be promising for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. The exploration of new drugs and regimens are warranted. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical response rate of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer stage IB, IIA-B, IIIA.
The purposes of this study are to determine: How standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin compares to fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The safety of standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin and any side effects that might be associated with it as compared to a fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
The main purpose of this study of pemetrexed combined with cisplatin used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (2 or 3 cycles) in participants with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is to look at various genes present in participants' blood and tumor tissue to see if there is any link between the levels or changes in the genes and how participants with lung cancer respond to pemetrexed and cisplatin treatment.
