Filter by:This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, two-arm Phase 2 study comparing pemetrexed plus best supportive care with best supportive care alone as maintenance therapy following first-line treatment with a pemetrexed-cisplatin combination in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. A total of approximately 100 patients are planned to be enrolled, and following completion of four cycles of pemetrexed-cisplatin (Induction Phase) those patients in which disease progression has not occurred will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms (Maintenance Phase): Arm A (pemetrexed plus best supportive care) or Arm B (best supportive care alone).
Successful treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with radiation therapy requires that the physicians determine exactly where the tumor is in your body and protect your normal tissue. This study is designed to apply functional imaging, Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) and Ventilation/Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (V/Q SPECT), before treatment and then again during treatment to see if it helps predict how well the treatment works for your cancer and how well your lung functions during treatment. A Computerized Tomography (CT) will also be performed along with both of these procedures to help the researchers see clearly where your cancer or your healthy lung is located. The researchers are also doing blood tests in this study to look for markers in your blood and to see if it helps them in determining your risk of developing side effects from radiation to the lungs. The researchers hope that this study will help them in the future to design radiation treatment plans that provide the best treatment for each individual patient.
This trial will investigate the use of the newer targeted agents erlotinib and sorafenib in patients with stage IIIB or stage IV NSCLC who have received 1-2 prior chemotherapy regimens. Patients will be randomized to receive erlotinib (150 mg/day) and sorafenib (400 mg twice daily), or erlotinib (150 mg/day) and a placebo.
This study will use imaging to look at tumor response to combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine (Gem) and cisplatin (Cis) or gemcitabine and carboplatin (Carbo) in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of this research study is to: - see if gefitinib pills can shrink Stage 1 or 2 non-small cell lung cancers before surgery - see if your non-small cell lung cancer has a mutation in a certain part of the EGFR gene - see if patients whose tumor does shrink with gefitinib treatment are more likely to have a mutation in a certain part of the EGFR gene - see if the pattern of protein expression in the blood is related to the tumor's sensitivity or resistance to gefitinib treatment. - see if expression of certain genes in the tumor are related to the tumor's sensitivity or resistance to gefitinib treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (disease response) and safety of mapatumumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel as first line therapy in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- To determine if docetaxel and cisplatin can be administered in a dose intense manner in the adjuvant setting in resected non-small cell lung cancer - To evaluate the time to progression and overall survival - To evaluate toxicities of this chemotherapy combination in the adjuvant setting - To correlate XPD and ERCC1 polymorphisms with time to progression and toxicities in patients treated with this regimen
This study seeks to determine imaging characteristics of radiolabelled 131-I-NM404 in ten patients with cancer, including calculations of PKs, radiation dosimetry, biodistribution, and optimal imaging times (part 1 - complete). In addition, specific tumor accumulation and metabolic fate of 131-I-NM404 will be determined in NSCLC tumors collected in 5 patients (part 2 - complete). Lastly, the study will collect preliminary data on imaging NSCLC tumors in up to 12 patients with evaluable disease (part 3 - ongoing).
- To determine the safety and maximally tolerated dose of sunitinib plus erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). - To determine response to sunitinib plus erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This study is being done to learn what effects (good and bad) bevacizumab in conjunction with carboplatin/paclitaxel and radiation therapy has on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
