Filter by:The purpose of the study is to compare the survival of participants who receive chemotherapy and ramucirumab versus chemotherapy alone as second line treatment for NSCLC after prior first line platinum-based chemotherapy.
The main objective of the study is to determine the proportion of patients with M + mutation status among patients with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer adenocarcinoma.
The phase 1 study evaluats RAD001 in combination with radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer. First phase of the study:RAD001 (everolimus) will be administered per os every Monday, one week before then during the radiotherapy and will be continued for 3.5 weeks after the end of the radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is given 4.5 weeks after the end of radiotherapy. Three patient cohorts are planned, receiving 10, 20 and 50 mg of RAD001 per week.Second phase of the study:RAD001 (everolimus) will be administered per os every day one week before then during the radiotherapy and will be continued for 3.5 weeks after the end of radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is given 4.5 weeks after the end of radiotherapy. Three patient cohorts are planned, receiving 2.5, 5 and 10 mg of RAD001 per day.The two phases of the study may be conducted independently and in parallel.Radiotherapy: 66 Grays over 6.5 weeks. (5 weekly fractions of 2 Grays)Chemotherapy: 2 cycles: Cisplatin 100 mg/m2 D1, Navelbine 25 mg/m2 D1, D8, every 21 days.
The goal of this clinical research study is to study the safety of giving larger daily doses of proton radiation therapy than the standard dose levels given to treat lung cancer. Researchers want to find the highest daily dose of proton radiation that can be given without having to stop therapy due to side effects.
The primary purpose of this study was to establish the recommended dose of ipilimumab administered in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in Japanese patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to assess how well the combination of pemetrexed with cisplatin can reduce tumor size.
Aim of the present retrospective study is to evaluate molecular factors of primary resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in metastatic non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The investigators assess first, the incidence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Kirsten ras sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutations, SOS and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) expression, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation and expression and, secondly, the investigators correlate molecular markers with clinical features and outcome in terms of response rate, progression free survival and overall survival.
Lung cancer is the worldwide leading cause of cancer death. In France, with 28,000 new cases per year, lung cancer is the 4th in terms of incidence but remains the leading cause of cancer death. The 5-year survival of lung cancer, all stages and all types, is very low, estimated at 12% among men and 16% among women in France. In advanced unresectable non small cell lung cancer, standard treatment relies on platinum-based induction chemotherapy. The median progression-free survival (PFS) in patients responding or stabilized after 4 chemotherapy cycles ranges from 2 to 2.8 months. Gustave Roussy and Curie institutes have developed an immunotherapy involving metronomic cyclophosphamide (mCTX) followed by vaccinations with tumor antigen-loaded dendritic cell-derived exosomes (Dex). mCTX inhibits Treg functions restoring T and NK cell effector functions and Dex are able to activate the innate and adaptive immunity. Phase I trials showed the safety and feasibility of Dex vaccines but no induction of T cells could be monitored in patients. Since 2007, we validated a new process for isolation of second generation Dex with improved immune stimulatory capacities. We propose a maintenance immunotherapy in 47 advanced unresectable NSCLC patients responding or stabilized after induction chemotherapy with Dex-based treatment to improve PFS rate at 4 months in these patients.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy to the brain may be effective in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than observation in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to the brain to see how well it works compared with observation in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Concomitant chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment of locally advanced, non-resectable, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a concomitant treatment using Endostar (Recombinant Human Endostatin), Paclitaxel/Carboplatin and radiotherapy for LA-NSCLC, and also assess its impact on patient Quality of Life (QoL) and progression-free survival (PFS).
