Filter by:The safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ASA404 when administered in combination with paclitaxel and Carboplatin are assessed. ASA404 is administered intravenously every 21 days to Japanese patients with Non small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and time to progression of HLA-A*0201 restricted epitope peptides URLC10, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 emulsified with Montanide ISA 51.
Purpose: L-[3-18F]-α-methyltyrosine (18F-FMT) is an amino-acid tracer for PET. We have conducted a clinicopathologic study to elucidate the correlation of angiogenesis with 18F-FMT and 18F-FDG uptake in the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Method: Thirty-seven NSCLC patients were enrolled in this study, and a pair of PET study with 18F-FMT and 18F-FDG was performed. Uptake of PET tracers was evaluated with standardized uptake value. VEGF, CD31, CD34, LAT1 and Ki-67 labeling index of the resected tumors were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining, and correlated with the clinicopathologic variables and the uptake of PET tracers.
There is evidence to support the use of melatonin, a natural health product, as an additional treatment aid for cancer patients. This study is designed to see if the daily ingestion of 20 milligrams of melatonin for one year can lower the incidence of developing lung cancer recurrence and/or death. Only patients with a diagnosis of non small cell lung cancer who are eligible for surgical resection can participate in the trial. The study will also be assessing for changes in quality of life, pain, fatigue, anxiety, sleep, and depression amongst the participants.
This is a clinical trial examining the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of IV NPI-0052 (a proteasome inhibitor) in combination with oral vorinostat (Zolinza; a HDAC inhibitor) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma or lymphoma. Proteasome inhibitors block the breakdown of proteins by cells and HDAC inhibitors block modification of proteins regulating gene expression in cells. Both of these actions preferentially affect cancer cells, and the combination of the two has been seen to have a greater effect in laboratory studies.
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the safety of volociximab (V) in combination with a standard treatment of carboplatin (C), paclitaxel (P), and bevacizumab (B) in subjects previously untreated with chemotherapy for advanced stage (IIIB/IV) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This is a non-randomized open-label uncontrolled phase II trial evaluating efficacy and toxicity of erlotinib in patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis advanced NSCLC who was benefitted by first line chemotherapy. Patients with stage IV NSCLC who have one or more asymptomatic brain metastasis who was benefitted by first line chemotherapy will receive oral erlotinib 150mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. These patients' direct DNA sequencing of tumor tissue EGFR exons 18-21 will be analyzed The response was evaluated by RECIST criteria after the patient received erlotinib 6 weeks.If the patients present with progress disease of brain metastasis after the therapy of erlotinib, the patients will receive irradiation of brain metastasis.If the response is stable disease,partial response or complete response,he will be examined by brain MRI every 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding ASA404 to standard chemotherapy makes the cancer treatment more effective in patients with advanced lung cancer.
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of Avastin in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Patients received Avastin 15 mg/kg intravenously (IV), docetaxel 75 mg/m^2, and cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles.
This study is being done to determine the overall progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced or metastatic (Stage IIIB - pleural effusion/IV), non-squamous histology NSCLC treated with metronomic chemotherapy plus Avastin. Also, currently there are no defined markers that predict for clinical benefit to Avastin. Preliminary studies show that there are several observations that support the concept of metronomic chemotherapy with or without the combination of an anti-angiogenic agent. The metronomic chemotherapy with Avastin was shown to enhance the clinical endpoints of the study (response rate and progressive-free survival). Proof of metronomic scheduling requires the development of appropriate intermediate surrogate markers. Several markers will be assessed.
