Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months of ramucirumab administered in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line therapy for Stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer
Pemetrexed is approved for second line therapy in metastatic NSCLC. Given the single-agent activity of pemetrexed and the tolerability of pemetrexed in combination with radiation, this study will evaluate survival rates and toxicities in patients with poor risk stage III NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (both good and bad) two medications (VELCADE and Vorinostat) have on patients who have certain types of lung cancer. The study is "dose escalating" meaning that patients will receive different doses of medication depending on when they enter the study. Participation in the study will last approximately 3 months and will include an initial screening visit, a visit once each week for 3 weeks to receive the study medications, and then 2 additional visits around the time of your surgery to remove your lung cancer tumor.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of MDX-1106 in patients with certain types of cancer. Another purpose is to determine how MDX-1106 is absorbed and distributed within the body, and how it's eventually eliminated.
Patients with advanced or metastatic (stage IIIB-IV) non small cell lung cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy will be treated with erlotinib 150 mg once a day and sorafenib 400 mg twice a day. The objectives of the study are to assess the efficacy and safety of this combination treatment. Additional exploratory study objectives are correlation of biomarkers and imaging modalities potentially predictive for response and (progression free) survival.
The main purpose of this study is the identification, description, and segmentation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients based on their value appraisal of treatment outcomes and all intermediate states of health, to obtain patient preferences in direct correlation with clinical data from patients suffering from NSCLC (stage IIIB / IV) who are in transition from 1st to 2nd line treatment, and to gain utility scores by health state derived from patients' perceived value and taken from their perspective.
This 3 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of three different dermatological creams designed for prophylaxis of skin rash associated with Tarceva treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients who have recently started Tarceva treatment will be randomized to one of 3 groups, to receive daily treatment with Verutex, Eritex or Fisiogel cream for 30 days, and the incidence and severity of skin rash will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
We hypothesize that Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors modulate tumor changes that may be reflected in the alteration of serum proteins. Study objectives are: - To establish serum proteomic changes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving erlotinib or gefitinib. - To identify a serum protein profile that predicts erlotinib or gefitinib sensitivity or resistance in NSCLC patients with and without EGFR mutations. - To study the toxicity of erlotinib or gefitinib by correlating clinical toxicity with serum protein profile.
The overall objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of the use of blood for the detection of EGFR mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Specific aims are: 1. To assess the use of immuno-separation techniques to enrich the tumor cell population in the blood of NSCLC patients. 2. To assess the use of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay for the detection of EGFR mutations in the blood of NSCLC patients.
This is a phase I/II study. The phase I portion of the study will determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib when administered in combination with carboplatin & docetaxel and to determine the efficacy of the combination for patients with advanced NSCLC. Phase II will utilize the dosage determined in the Phase I and implement regimen to determine time to progression, overall survival, and changes in serum proteomics patterns before & after combination therapy.
