Filter by:This is a multi center international observational study of subjects receiving myelotoxic regimens, with an investigator assessed risk of Febrile Neutropenia (FN) ≥ 20%, for the treatment of solid tumors (breast, ovarian and lung). Approximately 100-150 sites will contribute information on 10-15 subjects treated at their institution.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, proton radiation at a higher tumor dose (and lower normal surrounding lung dose) combined with standard chemotherapy has on lung cancer. The dose you receive to the tumor will be higher than the standard dose. This may be able to increase the control of the tumor. Due to the accuracy of radiation given with protons, the dose to the normal lung tissue that surrounds the tumor will be lower than standard. This may be able to reduce the frequency and severity of the usual radiation side effects.
A comparison of biweekly combination chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus carboplatin) with weekly gemcitabine in elder patients (> 75) with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Primary objective is to determine the objective response rate (CR+PR by RECIST criteria) for biweekly gemcitabine and carboplatin combination chemotherapy versus weekly single gemcitabine as first-line therapy in elder advanced non-small lung cancer patients (> 76 years) who have received no prior treatment for non-small lung cancer. As secondary objectives, adverse event profile, tolerability of biweekly gemcitabine and carboplatin combination chemotherapy, progression-free survival and overall survival will be evaluated in both patients with biweekly gemcitabine and carboplatin combination chemotherapy and weekly single gemcitabine. The study hypothesis is that biweekly combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine plus carboplatin may improve the efficacy.
Several important international randomized trials have shown that postoperative chemotherapy contributed to the improvement on 5 year survival rate by about 4% for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after complete resection. But the overall survival rate was relatively low and the local recurrence was still the dominant failure pattern for stage IIIA (N2) disease even these patients received the postoperative chemotherapy. Several meta-analyses have shown that postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) has no effect on the survival improvement for patients with NSCLC after complete resection. However, sub-group analysis based on the same dataset of these meta-analyses showed that the PORT with conventional radiotherapy might be beneficial for stage IIIA (N2) disease. The 3D conform radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modified radiotherapy (IMRT) can increase the radiation dose to the target volume while decreasing the dose to risk organs comparing with the conventional radiotherapy. So it is expected that PORT using 3D-CRT or IMRT after postoperative chemotherapy will improve the local control and survival for stage IIIA (N2) NSCLC. Here, the investigators designed a phase III randomized trial to compare the 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates in patients with completely resected stage IIIA (N2) NSCLC who receive adjuvant chemotherapy alone or adjuvant chemotherapy plus PORT.
Primary trial objective in this single arm trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of Selectikine (EMD 521873) given in combination with and local tumor irradiation and to determine whether the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is reached with EMD 521873 doses of up to 0.45 mg/kg. Secondary objectives are to evaluate PK, immunogenicity, overall response, changes in tumor marker levels and circulating tumor cell numbers, progression-free survival and overall survival. Also, to evaluate biological/immune responses to EMD 521873. NSCLC patients have to be stable (PR or SD) after first-line chemotherapy in order to be enrolled. A total of 12 to 24 patients are planned. Patients will remain on the dose throughout the trial. It is intended to administer at least 4 cycles (21 d each), or until progression or 2nd line therapy becomes necessary.
This is a research study to determine if hypofractionated image guided radiation therapy (hypoIGRT) with proton therapy is a good way to treat early stage lung tumors for patients who will not have surgery. HypoIGRT delivers higher daily doses of radiation over a shorter period of time compared with conventional radiation. This is thought to deliver a more lethal dose of radiation to the tumor and is more convenient with treatment being completed within 2-3 weeks compared to the typical 7-8 week course of conventional radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and clinical response of different doses of HLA-A*2402 restricted epitope peptides URLC10, CDCA1, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51.
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs) such as erlotinib have proved effective in second or third line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).It is well tolerated without the side effects usually associated with chemotherapy. The mutations in EGFR exons 19 or 21 have been reported to be associated with efficacy of EGFR TKIs.Based on the encouraging preliminary results from the Spanish lung cancer group' prospective study reported that the efficacy of Tarceva as first line treatment for metastatic NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation would delay disease progression,prolong overall survival and be well tolerated, medium Progression-free survival(PFS) was around 12 months and OS reach 24 months，our study is designed to compare PFS between the patients with mutant EGFR treated by gemcitabine/carboplatin and those by erlotinib in the first-line setting. We assumed 11 months of PFS on Tarceva arm versus 6 months on chemotherapy arm with a=0.025(alpha-spend for an interim analysis), 80% power and 12 months enrolment period, 12 months FU duration to calculate the sample size. The sample size is 69 pairs. Considering about 10% drop-out rate, the final sample size is 152 patients.So, chemo-naive staged IIIb/IV patients with EGFR mutations in exon 19 or 21 will be enrolled into this open-label, randomized,multicenter phase III study.
The Phase 2 study described in this protocol will serve to evaluate the antitumor activity, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Imprime PGG when combined with bevacizumab and concomitant paclitaxel and carboplatin therapy in patients with previously untreated advanced NSCLC. Additionally, this study will provide guidance for the design of more definitive efficacy studies of Imprime PGG in NSCLC patients.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn whether Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride), when given in addition to whole brain radiation therapy, is better to treat brain metastases in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
