A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Phase 2 Trial Comparing Veliparib Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Versus Placebo Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Previously Untreated Metastatic or Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel given together with cisplatin and pegfilgrastim followed by erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving dose-dense combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim and erlotinib hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Endostar with Gemcitabine-Carboplatin are more effective than Gemcitabine-Carboplatin alone in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC),and about Endostar ,Compared with intravenous, Continued vein-pumping maby is a more effective way.
The main purpose of this first study combining an investigational dual mTOR inhibitor, CC-223, with other agents (erlotinib or the investigational agent, oral azacitidine) is to establish a maximum tolerated dose level for each combination in order to evaluate their effects in future clinical trials for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of gefitinib in patients who have progressed on first line gefitinib, comparing continuing gefitinib in addition to cisplatin plus pemetrexed combination chemotherapy versus cisplatin plus pemetrexed combination chemotherapy alone.
Patients with stage IIIB and IV lung adenocarcinoma and progression to first-line chemotherapy were enrolled to receive afatinib 40 mg/day. Mutational EGFR and HER-2 status were assessed by RT-PCR. HER2 amplification was evaluated by FISH. Plasma HGF levels were measured by ELISA before and 2 months (mo) after the start of treatment. We assessed changes in serum HGF levels and their association with objective response rate (ORR), PFS and overall survival (OS).
One of the most widely used treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the combination of paclitaxel-cisplatin. These drugs may contribute to taste alterations like dysgeusia. Which alters the feeding of cancer patients, contributing to the anorexia, weight loss and malnutrition, which leads to a prognostic impact in a lower patient response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical treatment as well as increased toxic effects, impacting treatment discontinuation and therefore, morbidity and survival of patients. The objective of this study is to describe the threshold of perception and recognition of basic tastes in patients with NSCLC before treatment with platin and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy and after the second cycle, and analyze the effect in the developement of dysgeusia, as well as the association between these and the nutritional status and quality of life.
Non - small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) accounts for more than 80% of lung cancer. The main treatment for early stage patients is surgical resection, but about 30% -70% patients will relapse. Postoperative chemotherapy is the major systemic treatment for surgical resection NSCLC patients. However, data show only 5-10% improvement in overall survival with systemic adjuvant chemotherapy. It is necessary to further improve the survival time of patients with lung cancer. Biological treatment is becoming a new treatment modality for Cancer following with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and has been confirmed as an effective adjuvant treatment in comprehensive cancer treatment. Cytokine induced killer cells ( CIK) characterized as fast amplification, strong anti-cancer activity and broad anti-tumor spectrum is most widely used and thought to be the first choice for the new generation of anti-tumor adoptive immunotherapy. This Phase II study is investigating the efficacy of Autologous Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell Transfusion plus Chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy for stage IB-IIIA NSCLC.
The primary objective for this trial is to determine the biological ability of apricoxib to decrease T reg cells in the peripheral blood and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in subjects compared to those who have not in subjects with early stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The secondary objectives are to determine the efficacy of apricoxib to inhibit CD4+CD25+ T reg and FOXP3 function and exploration of COX-2 dependent biomarkers of apoptosis resistance, angiogenesis, invasion, and immunity.
