Filter by:This is a non-randomized open-label uncontrolled phase II trial evaluating efficacy and toxicity of gefitinib in patients with asymptomatic 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 gefitinib 250mg 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 gefitinib 6 weeks.If the patients present with progress disease of brain metastasis after the therapy of gefitinib, 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 primary objectives of this Phase 1b/2 study were as follows: - Phase 1b (Bolus and Infusion): To evaluate the safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors and in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma and in patients with refractory lymphoma. - Phase 2 (Bolus): To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) after 4 cycles of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed solid tumors.
Pemetrexed is an FDA-approved treatment for advanced lung cancer but the response rate is still very low. Bortezomib is currently approved to treat myeloma in patients who have already been treated. Currently, multiple studies are actively investigating how well bortezomib works with other drugs. This study is testing how much bortezomib can be given to advanced lung cancer patients who have already received one treatment. This study will also see how well bortezomib and pemetrexed work together to treat lung cancer patients.
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy after surgery is more effective than no radiation therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to no radiation therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has been completely removed by surgery.
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.
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).
The objective of this pharmacoeconomics (PE) study is to evaluate the cost- effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis of IRESSA® as first line treatment of NSCLC from the society perspective, based on resources and outcomes from patients who met the inclusion criteria for this naturalistic study comparing to existing first line platinum-based regimen chemotherapy.
