Filter by:This research study will test whether dual anti-estrogen therapy (anastrozole and fulvestrant) slows the time to when the cancer progresses.
This is a multi-center, randomized, blinded, two-period, two-sequence, crossover study, with a minimum 3-week washout period between treatments.The study is designed to evaluate the bioequivalence of SID530 to Taxotere. It will be conducted in study participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have failed platinum therapy and also in participants with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have failed at least one line of chemotherapy. Eligible study participants must be planning to have at least two consecutive 21-day cycles with 75 mg/m2 docetaxel monotherapy. The duration of study participation will be approximately 7 weeks. The study has three study phases: Screening (<=1 week), Cycle 1 (21 days), and Cycle 2 (21 days).
Background: - Pioglitazone is a drug that belongs to the class of antidiabetic agents called thiazolidinediones. It is approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. - Research suggests that the thiazolidinediones may have anticancer activity that can reduce cancer risk or cause tumors to shrink. Objectives: -To test how a pioglitazone works as a treatment of Stage IA to IIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and to look at the effect of the drug on cancer cells. Eligibility: -Patients 18 years of age or older who will undergo surgery for Stage IA to IIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Design: -The study includes a screening visit to determine eligibility, treatment with pioglitazone, a follow-up visit after 2 to 3 weeks of treatment and a post-surgery visit. Procedures include: 1. Medical history, physical examination, blood tests, electrocardiogram 2. Bronchoscopy to obtain cancer cells. This is done before pioglitazone treatment begins and again during lung surgery. Some patients may also require mediastinoscopy or biopsy to collect cells. 3. Treatment with pioglitazone tablets once a day for at least 2 weeks and no more than 6 weeks, depending on when surgery has been scheduled. 4. Positron emission tomography (PET) scan before starting pioglitazone treatment. National Cancer Institute (NCI) patients also have a follow-up PET scan after treatment but before surgery.
Background: More effective therapies are needed for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has advanced or spread beyond the original site following standard treatment. Talactoferrin is a genetically engineered form of the human protein lactoferrin, found in body secretions such as breast milk, tears and saliva. In previous studies, talactoferrin improved life span in patients with NSCLC without causing toxic side effects. Objectives: To examine the effects of talactoferrin on the immune system and determine its effectiveness in treating NSCLC. Eligibility: Patients with advanced NSCLC who have tissue type HLA-A2 and whose cancer has gotten worse following at least one course of treatment. Design: Talactoferrin treatment: Patients take liquid talactoferrin twice a day for 12 weeks, followed by 2 weeks off the drug. Treatment may continue in these 14-week cycles depending on the drug side effects and the response of the tumor. Evaluations: Patients are evaluated at the clinic with a physical examination, check of vital signs and blood tests every 3 weeks. CT scans: Patients have CT scans to monitor disease before starting treatment, again at 6 weeks and 12 weeks and then every 12 weeks during the duration of treatment. Apheresis: Quantities of white blood cells called lymphocytes are collected through a procedure called apheresis in order to measure the immune response to treatment. In this procedure, blood is collected through a needle placed in a vein in the arm (similar to donating blood) and circulated through a cell separator machine. The lymphocytes are extracted and the rest of the blood is returned to the body through the same needle.
The main purpose of this phase II trial is to evaluate the clinical feasibility-in terms of patients without dose limiting toxicities or premature treatment withdrawal or death-of administering adjuvant chemotherapy of pemetrexed followed by pemetrexed/oxaliplatin immediately post-video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in patients with completely resected Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
This is a phase I/IIa open, uncontrolled, international, prospective clinical trial, in an out-patient setting, in patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC. The phase I part of the study consists of a dose escalation phase, in which the recommended dose (RD) for the phase IIa part of the study will be established based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). In the phase IIa part of the study, additional patients will be included at the RD, to confirm the safety and explore the activity of that dose. This study will take place in Switzerland (2 sites) and Germany (11 sites).
This trial's aim is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of sorafenib in relapsed advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) after failure of epidermal growth factor receptors-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment and to explore the correlation between clinical outcomes and biochemical modulation of signal transduction pathways.
The objective is to investigate the correlation between smoking pattern and clinical efficacy of EGFR TKIs in male patients with locally advanced or metastasized non-small cell lung cancer of adeno histology who have failed 1st line chemotherapy. Health care resource usage, quality of life (EQ-5D) and practice of EGFR mutation test will also be evaluated. Current practice of EGFR mutation testing in Taiwan will be surveyed.
Hypothesis 1- Using IMRT, the radiation therapy (RT) dose can be safely escalated from 58 Gy to 74 Gy given as 6 fractions/week with concurrent chemotherapy. Hypothesis 2- Esophageal motion can be used to customize planning organ at risk volumes. Hypothesis 3- Biological predictors of acute esophagitis can be used to identify patients at high risk of developing esophageal toxicity from radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine if participants with untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer have a better outcome when treated with olaratumab in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin then when treated with paclitaxel/carboplatin alone.
