Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the activity of subcutaneous (SC) amifostine on the incidence and severity of acute radiochemotherapy-induced esophagitis in patients with unresectable Stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving combined modality therapy.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. 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 cetuximab together with combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy works in treating patients with unresectable stage IIIA or stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epothilone D, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well epothilone D works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to platinum-based chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as temozolomide may make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Combining temozolomide with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving temozolomide together with whole-brain radiation therapy works in treating patients with brain metastasis secondary to non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a potential drug known as KOS-862 or "Epothilone D" has an effect as a 2nd line treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for patients having failed one prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen.
The purpose of this study is to determine if TLK286(Telcyta) is more effective than gefitinib (Iressa) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the antitumor activity (response rate, time to tumor progression, survival) and safety of docetaxel in combination with talabostat in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have failed a prior platinum-containing regimen.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, toxicities, and dosage for investigational drug Motexafin Gadolinium administered with docetaxel to patients with advanced solid tumors. Secondly, tumor response to the combined treatment will be evaluated.
This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, single-arm, exploratory "proof of concept" study. Diflomotecan (7 mg fixed dose) will be administered as a 20-minute IV infusion once every 3 weeks in patients with sensitive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with progressive disease after first-line treatment with a platinum-based regimen.
The purpose of this study it to determine whether supplemental treatment with Iscar improves immune function and quality of life among Stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma patients receiving conventional chemotherapy. Iscar is an herbal medicine made from the total plant extract of mistletoe. this preparation is already in use in Europe and its use in the US is likely to increase as cancer patients continue to seek alternative therapies.
