Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare gefitinib with carboplatin / paclitaxel doublet chemotherapy given as first line treatment in terms of progression free survival in selected NSCLC patients with the objective of demonstrating non-inferiority.
The objective of the trial is to determine whether 3 cycles of TP (docetaxel plus cisplatin) after complete operation will improve survival when compared with 3 cycles of TP prior to complete resection for NSCLC.
To determine whether in docetaxel pretreated advanced NSCLC patients with favorable clinical parameter(s) gefitinib can produce different outcomes from patients without favorable clinical parameter treated with irinotecan.
This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of carboplatin/paclitaxel+bevacizumab in subjects with locally advanced (Stage IIIb with pleural effusion/pericardial effusion), Stage IV, or recurrent squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
This study will test the effects of pemetrexed on mesothelioma and non-small cell lung cancer patients with fluid around their lungs or abdomen.
Recent studies in laboratory animals demonstrate the ability of disulfiram to significantly inhibit the growth and metastasis of a mouse model of lung cancer. Work with cells in vitro support the idea that this inhibition is mainly due to the inhibition of angiogenesis - the formation of new blood vessels in the tumor. Furthermore, it was found out that the best effect has been obtained when disulfiram has been used not at the highest dose but at an optimal dose, which is smaller. Thus, this trial will assess the addition of disulfiram to chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLCA).
This was an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, Phase II trial of bevacizumab combined with first- or second-line therapy in patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with previously treated central nervous system (CNS) metastases. A total of 115 patients enrolled in the study.
This large phase III clinical study is studying the effect of vandetanib (ZACTIMA) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Vandetanib is a new type of agent that targets the blood supply to a cancer tumour (through it's anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) properties) and the tumour cells themselves (through it's anti-endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) actions). This study will look at the effects of vandetanib in lung cancer patients who have had their cancer re-appear after treatment with standard chemotherapy. This clinical study will test if the vandetanib anti-VEGF and anti-EGFR characteristics can deliver longer improved progression free survival and improved overall survival than docetaxel (Taxotere) alone. All patients participating this clinical study will receive treatment with docetaxel, a commonly used treatment for recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. In addition, some patients will also receive vandetanib (ZACTIMA), an anti-EGFR / anti-VEGF agent. Recent clinical research shows that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibition, when used with standard chemotherapy, can lead to increased survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Other research shows that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, like erlotinib (Tarceva) can also increase overall non-small cell lung cancer survival by killing tumour cells and stopping them from dividing.
The purposes of this study are to determine: The safety of enzastaurin plus pemetrexed with carboplatin, pemetrexed with carboplatin, or docetaxel with carboplatin and any side effects that might be associated with the combination of these drugs. Whether the combination of enzastaurin plus pemetrexed and carboplatin or pemetrexed and carboplatin can help participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) live longer, compared with the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin. Whether the combination of enzastaurin plus pemetrexed and carboplatin or pemetrexed and carboplatin can make your tumor smaller or disappear, and for how long, compared with the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin. The effects of enzastaurin plus pemetrexed with carboplatin, pemetrexed with carboplatin or docetaxel with carboplatin have on your disease related symptoms. The relation of smoking history and hormone replacement therapy (for women only) may have to your lung cancer treatment results. The effects of certain genes and proteins in samples of your blood and tumor tissue in order to learn more about NSCLC and how enzastaurin works in the body.
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate if daily treatment with celecoxib, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, can prolong survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who receive anticancer chemotherapy as their primary treatment. Secondary endpoints of the study are: health-related quality of life, toxicity, cardiovascular events, progression-free survival, and biological markers (VEGF, proteomics).
