Filter by:The purpose of this study is to try to improve the odds that your cancer may be cured. Pemetrexed and cisplatin are traditional chemotherapy drugs that have been shown to help some patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Many different types of cancer cells, including your type of lung cancer, have a protein on their surface called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Stimulation of these receptors can result in growth of cancer cells and progression of cancer. In addition, your cancer has an EGFR mutation (a specific abnormality in the genetic code for EGFR). Erlotinib (TarcevaTM) is a newer drug which has shown benefit for patients with lung cancers that contain an EGFR mutation. Erlotinib works by blocking this receptor and depriving the cancer cells of this message to grow and multiply. In this research study, we plan to combine erlotinib with traditional chemotherapy drugs to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone. The main purpose of this research is to find out the good and bad effects that the combination of these 3 drugs (pemetrexed, cisplatin and erlotinib) has when given to patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer before surgery. A secondary purpose is to find out the good and bad effects that occur when erlotinib is given to patients after surgery for 2 years.
This study was designed to determine whether adjuvant vinorelbine plus cisplatin and endostar prolongs overall survival compare to vinorelbine plus cisplatin alone among patients with completely resected IB-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer. The patients with completely resected stage IB to stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer were randomly assigned to the group of vinorelbine plus cisplatin plus endostar or to the group of vinorelbine plus cisplatin . The primary end point was overall survival; principal secondary end points were recurrence-free survival and the toxicity and safety of the regimens.
Our group has shown in a modeling study that increasing the radiation dose to pre-specified normal tissue dose constrains could lead to increased TCP with the same NTCP. In a subsequent phase I trial, the investigators showed the safety of this approach. Here, the investigators want to investigate its efficacy in a prospective study in patients with stage I-III NSCLC, who are selected for radical radiotherapy
Our group has shown in a modeling study that increasing the radiation dose to pre-specified normal tissue dose constrains could lead to increased TCP with the same NTCP in patients with non-concurrent chemo-radiation. In a subsequent phase I trial, in patients receiving non-concurrent chemo-radiation we showed the safety of this approach. Here,we want to investigate its efficacy in a prospective study in patients with stage III NSCLC, who are selected for radical concurrent radiotherapy
This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1, dose escalation study. The purpose is to determine the highest dose of TG01 that can be safely given to patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in combination with erlotinib.
In this research study erlotinib will be given to eligible participants whose lung cancer has been removed by surgery. Eligible patients have adenocarcinoma, a type of non-small lung cancer, and must have 1 or more of the following characteristics: be female, be of Asian or Pacific Rim descent and/or be a never smoker. The potential participant's tumor will be examined for Epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mutations. EGFR is a protein that is overexpressed in most non-small cell lung cancers. Some EGFR has been found to have specific mutations and the participant must have one of these mutations in his tumor. Erlotinib blocks this protein and may control tumor growth and increase survival. Previous research has shown that erlotinib is most effective for people who have these specific mutations in the EGFR.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if erlotinib given with chemotherapy and radiation therapy can help to control NSCLC. The safety of this combination treatment will also be studied. Researchers will also test the tissue from your earlier biopsy to measure the levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The purpose of EGFR testing is to learn about any link between various forms of EGFR and your response to treatment with erlotinib.
This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of Tarceva, compared with placebo, following platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic NSCLC who have not had disease progression or unacceptable toxicity during chemotherapy. Following 4 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy, eligible patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg po daily, or placebo daily. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression; the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of Tarceva and that of standard of care chemotherapy in patients with advanced, recurrent, or metastatic NSCLC experiencing disease progression after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy.Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg po daily, or comparator (either Alimta 500mg/m2 every 3 weeks, or Taxotere 75mg/m2 every 3 weeks). The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression ,and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
To define the optimal dose of sunitinib when given in combination with rapamycin 2mg. To determine the maximum tolerated dosage of sunitinib and rapamycin given in this fashion. To determine the how many times and how severe other toxicities of this combination therapy. To determine how quickly the patient(s) will respond the the drug, overall survival and time to progression for this combination therapy.
