Filter by: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).
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.
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
