Filter by:This randomized phase III trial is studying whole-brain radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery with or without temozolomide or erlotinib to see how well they work compared to whole-brain radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients with brain metastases secondary to non-small cell lung cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery are more effective with or without temozolomide or erlotinib in treating brain metastases.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells remaining after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with radiation therapy works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
This Phase II, multicenter, randomized trial is designed to make preliminary evaluations of the efficacy of combining bevacizumab with chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed) or Tarceva relative to chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed) alone in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC.
This trial is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, Phase III study in patients with recurrent or progressive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after failure of an initial platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients will receive either Docetaxel or Pemetrexed as chemotherapy at the investigator's choice. Within each chemotherapy group, patients will be randomized to receive Cetuximab plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone (Cetuximab & Pemetrexed or Pemetrexed alone; Cetuximab & Docetaxel or Docetaxel alone).
The purpose of this study is to determine if palifermin will reduce the incidence of dysphagia in patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy for treatment of unresectable stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of this trial is: - To characterize the safety profile of motesanib when used in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel (CP), with panitumumab or with CP and panitumumab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). - To establish the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of motesanib when it is used in combination with CP, with panitumumab, or with CP and panitumumab. - To compare the paclitaxel and motesanib PK profiles when the medications are administered 30 minutes (min) or approximately 48 hours (hrs) apart. - To characterize the panitumumab and paclitaxel exposure in the combination regimens of motesanib with CP, motesanib with panitumumab, or motesanib with CP and panitumumab. - To describe the objective response rate (ORR) in each dose cohort. - To measure the immunogenicity of panitumumab in patients administered motesanib with panitumumab and motesanib with CP and panitumumab.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim) in reducing infection when given on the same day versus one day after the completion of chemotherapy (docetaxel and carboplatin) in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study is considered to be "investigational" because previous studies with Neulasta® used next day dosing and not same day dosing.
This is a Phase 2 study being conducted at multiple centers in the United States and Germany. Patients having non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (i.e., metastatic) or is locally advanced (i.e., Stage IIIB with malignant pleural effusion) are eligible to participate. Patients must have disease that has been treated with at least 1 prior treatment for metastatic disease (prior adjuvant treatment for localized disease does not count as prior treatment for metastatic disease). The purpose of the study is to test whether the angiogenesis inhibitor AG-013736 is an effective treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer as shown by the number of patients in the study who experience significant and durable tumor shrinkage
This phase I/II trial (phase I closed to accrual as of 09/29/2009) is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib, paclitaxel, and carboplatin when given with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IIIA or stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may increase the effectiveness of paclitaxel and carboplatin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving bortezomib, paclitaxel, and carboplatin together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This trial is designed to compare the combination of the investigational oral cytotoxic drug, satraplatin, and radiation therapy for patients with locally advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with no prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatment. Please refer to the Eligibility Criteria below for key inclusion and exclusion criteria. WHAT IS SATRAPLATIN: Satraplatin is an oral, investigational anticancer drug that is a member of the platinum-based class of chemotherapy drugs. Platinum-based drugs have been clinically proven to be one of the most effective classes of anticancer therapies. Unlike the currently marketed platinum-based drugs, satraplatin can be given orally. RATIONALE: Intravenously administered platinum-based drugs are currently used in combination with radiation therapy in the treatment of patients with locally advanced NSCLC. The purpose of this Phase I trial is to determine a tolerable dose and schedule for the oral platinum drug (satraplatin) when given to NSCLC patients throughout the course of their radiotherapy treatment.
