Filter by:The main objective of the trial is to document the progression free survival (PFS) in advanced or metastatic small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) patients previously treated with at least one therapeutic regimen
This study aims to establish a tolerable dose level and regimen of RAD001 in combination with cisplatin and etoposide (standard-of-care chemotherapy) in patients with extensive stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have not previously been treated with systemic chemotherapy.
This amended expansion phase of the protocol is to further the experience at a dose level of 150 mg CPT eq/m2 in patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to test for preliminary anti-tumor activity in these tumor types. The MTD was initially defined as 113 mg CPT equivalents(eq)/m2 in the dose escalation part of the study. However, in the initial expansion phase (Protocol Amendment 11), 11 patients (10 NSCLC patients and 1 gastric cancer patients) were dosed at 113 mg CPT eq/m2 and less bone marrow toxicity was observed as compared to more heavily pre-treated patients in the dose escalation part of the study. Therefore, this amended expansion phase will investigate the safety and anti-tumor effects of a dose of 150 mg CPT eq/m2. The study will also determine: - The safety and tolerability of XMT-1001 at 150 mg CPT eq/m2 - The pharmacokinetics (PK) of XMT-1001 (how XMT-1001 behaves in the body) in patients Stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer - Evidence of XMT-1001 anti-tumor activity at 150 mg CPT eq/m2
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as the statins, have proven therapeutic and preventative effects in cardiovascular diseases. Recently, there are emerging interests in their use as anticancer agents based on preclinical evidence of their antiproliferative, proapoptotic, anti-invasive, and radiosensitizing properties. Inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase by the statins interferes with the rate-limiting step of the mevalonate pathway, leading to reduced levels of mevalonate and its downstream products, many of which play important roles in critical cellular functions such as membrane integrity, cell signaling, protein synthesis, and cell cycle progression. Perturbations of these processes in neoplastic cells by the statins may therefore result in control of tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis. The statins have demonstrated growth inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines and preclinical tumor models in animals. Simvastatin, a member of the statin family, profoundly impaired basal and growth factor-stimulated SCLC cell growth in vitro and induced apoptosis. SCLC cells treated with simvastatin were sensitized to the effects of the chemotherapeutic agent etoposide. Moreover, SCLC tumour growth in vivo was inhibited by simvastatin. Therefore, the investigators will conduct this phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy & toxicity of irinotecan/cisplatin plus simvastatin in patients with chemo-naïve ED-SCLC.
The Phase 1 portion of the study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of ABT-263 with the objective of defining the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose. (This portion of the study is complete). The Phase 2a portion of the study will evaluate ABT-263 at the defined recommended Phase 2 dose to obtain additional safety information and a preliminary assessment of efficacy.
This study is a multinational study to compare enzastaurin versus placebo in the treatment of patients with brain metastases of lung cancer. Approximately 108 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either enzastaurin or placebo after having completed whole brain radiotherapy.
This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter, randomized study for preliminary evaluation of the efficacy and safety of combining bevacizumab with cisplatin (or carboplatin) and etoposide in patients with previously untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
The purpose of this study is to describe the activity and toxicity of gemcitabine combined with four different drugs (carboplatin or cisplatin or etoposide or vinorelbine) as first line treatment of elderly patients with extensive small cell lung cancer.
This is an open label, multicenter Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT-101 in combination with topotecan in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer
The purpose of the study is to document the activity and safety of single agent amrubicin, amrubicin combined with cisplatin, and etoposide combined with cisplatin as first-line treatment in extensive disease small cell lung cancer.
