This study is a multicenter, open-label, two-arm, randomized, parallel Phase 2 feasibility study of pemetrexed in combination with either cisplatin (Arm A) or carboplatin (Arm B) as adjuvant combination-chemotherapy in participants with completely resected, stage Ib or IIa/IIb non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A two-stage design will be employed independently for both treatment arms, with the possibility of stopping each treatment early for lack of feasibility.
The purpose of this trial is to study the combination regimen of satraplatin and paclitaxel in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
RATIONALE: Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Gefitinib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving gefitinib together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of radiation therapy when given together with gefitinib and to see how well they work in treating patients with inoperable stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.
1. Recently a radomized trial of vinorelbine versus best supportive care in patients at 70 years of age or older demonstrated a definite improvement in overall survival rate and quality of life with chemotherapy. 2. The role of combination therapy containing the platinum compound, which is the standard therapy for the young patients is still vague. 3. Gemcitabine and carboplatin have favorable toxicity profile.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using a treatment called transimmunization in addition to standard therapy (radiation) in the treatment of lung cancer. Transimmunization is a treatment of the blood designed to boost the immune response against lung cancer. Transimmunization uses a device called a UVAR-XTS instrument, to remove a portion of blood, part of which is returned, and part of which is incubated overnight before being returned to the bloodstream the next day.
Primary Objective: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel when given with Irinotecan and Carboplatin for the treatment of inoperable lung cancer. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the dose-related toxicities of this triple regimen in patients with inoperable lung cancer.
Researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center are conducting a research study on a Chinese herbal medicine known as "Jin Fu Kang". We want to see if this can help patients with advanced lung cancer. Jin Fu Kang might reduce the growth of cancer or improve quality of life. You are eligible for this trial because your cancer has progressed after prior chemotherapy and your doctor has recommended further chemotherapy treatment. Lung cancer that has been confirmed and that has spread is called advanced cancer. There is no known permanent cure for advanced lung cancer, but chemotherapy may temporarily shrink the cancer and improve the quality of patients' lives.
To see the efficacy of using chemotherapies alternatively (carboplatin and gemcitabine alternating with carboplatin and taxol) for pts with stage IIIB (nonresectable and stage IV NSCLC.
To determine the response to this regimen for therapy prior surgery in patients with locally advanced disease or metastatic disease.
