Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy delivers fewer, tightly-focused, high doses of radiation therapy to all known sites of cancer in the body while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissue.
This pilot clinical trial studies proton beam radiation therapy in treating patients with thoracic cancer that has come back and have received prior radiation therapy. Proton beam radiation therapy uses high energy protons to kill tumor cells and may cause less damage to normal tissue.
Evaluation of efficacy and safety of MGN1703 administered twice weekly subcutaneously (SC) as maintenance treatment in patients with extensive disease small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who achieved at least a partial response (PR) following platinum-based first-line therapy.
The goal of this behavioral research study is to learn the opinion of patients and their caregivers about a couple-based Hatha Yoga program (Group 1) during treatment for cancer. Researchers also want to learn the effect of this program on lung function, distress, biological function, and quality of life. For comparison purposes, there will also be a group of participants (Group 2) that does not take part in this program. You and your caregiver/family member will have about a 50/50 chance of being assigned to each group. The groups are randomly assigned, but it is also based on other factors such as your age and the status of the disease.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of PI3K inhibitor BKM120 when given together with cisplatin and etoposide in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing , or by stopping them from spreading. PI3K inhibitor BKM120 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving PI3K inhibitor BKM120 with cisplatin and etoposide may kill more tumor cells.
In this randomized multicentric phase II study it will be investigated whether an accelerated postoperative radiotherapy with photons or protons (7 fractions per week, 2 Gy single dose) may improve locoregional tumour control in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in comparison to conventional fractionation (5 fractions per week, 2 Gy single dose).
MEK162 has shown significant inhibition of tumor growth as a single agent in NSCLC xenograft models in mice and human cancer cells in vitro, which have KRAS and/or other mutations. These data suggest that MEK162 may provide a potential benefit in cancer indications harboring these mutations. MEK162 is currently being investigated in phase I clinical testing and has been well tolerated up to an MTD of 45mg BID in cancer patients. There has been little change in survival benefit for patients with non-small cell lung cancer in recent years. Emerging new treatment options relying on molecular and genetic markers are being studied extensively. Thus, there has been a shift to manage non-small cell lung cancer with molecular targeted therapies in combination with standard chemotherapy. This study will be targeting patients with KRAS mutations.
EUCROSS is a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crizotinib in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung harbouring ROS1 translocations. Patients will be treated with 250mg crizotinib bid until progression or intolerable toxicity.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, radiation has on the lungs has on the patient and on synovial sarcoma which has spread to the lungs. The standard treatment for synovial sarcoma which has spread to the lungs is chemotherapy with or without surgery to remove the tumors in the lungs. However, tumors often come back in the lungs after chemotherapy and/or surgery. Since synovial sarcoma is known to be sensitive to radiation, this study is looking at whether radiation therapy which is targeted to the entire lung can further reduce the chances of the cancer returning. This type of radiation is commonly used in other types of sarcoma to treat the cancer once it has spread to the lungs and it may be very useful in synovial sarcoma as well. In this study, a special type of radiation will be used, called Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). With IMRT the radiation beams are more customized to focus more radiation on the tumor cells while delivering less radiation to areas like the heart. The goal of this study is also to measure pulmonary toxicity and see if IMRT is feasible and has less toxicity.
Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of various sequences of either a small molecule or an IMT (IMT-A) followed by a IMT-B (MEDI4736) .
