Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the objective tumor response rate of amrubicin when administered as second-line therapy to ED-SCLC patients who have refractory or progressive disease.
This is a phase II, two-stage, open-label, single-agent study of the experimental drug RAD001 (everolimus) in patients with previously treated small cell lung cancer. RAD001 will be administered orally at a dose of 10 mg daily.
This study is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, open-label study of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either pemetrexed plus carboplatin or etoposide plus carboplatin. It is anticipated that pemetrexed plus carboplatin will offer similar survival benefits as compared to etoposide plus carboplatin.
This study is a randomized, multi-center clinical trial. Patients are stratified according to performance status (ECOG 0, 1 vs 2) and institution. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Arm A: Patients receive etoposide IV on days 1, 2, 3 and cisplatin IV on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks Arm B: Patients receive irinotecan IV on days 1, 8 and cisplatin IV on day 1. Coursed repeated every 3 weeks Treatment in both arms continues for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1.5 years
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the objective tumor response rate of amrubicin or standard topotecan therapy when administered as second-line therapy to ED-SCLC patients who have chemotherapy sensitive recurrent or progressive.
Improvements in therapy for relapsed SCLC are much needed. Paclitaxel has been previously tested and found to have significant single agent activity in relapsed SCLC, including in refractory patients. Angiogenesis plays an important role in SCLC, increased VEGF levels are associated with worse outcomes. Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody to VEGF, increase response rates and survival when combined with chemotherapy agents compared with the chemotherapy agent alone in NSCLC, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. Paclitaxel plus bevacizumab, in the dose and schedule proposed in this study, improves response rates and progression free survival compared with paclitaxel alone in women with metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, we will be testing the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of this regimen in patients with chemosensitive relapsed SCLC.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the objective tumor response rate to SNS-595 in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
The purpose of this study is to determine the disease control rate at trial closure and after the first stage of the study in patients with relapsed or refractory SCLC and measurable disease treated with gefitinib
This proposed phase II trial will investigate weekly topotecan at a higher dose than was used in the previous trials in an attempt to achieve improved response rates and disease control without added toxicity. To help ameliorate the fatigue, planned rest weeks will be incorporated into the schedule. This trial will be the first clinical trial to evaluate a higher dose of weekly topotecan in the treatment of extensive-stage SCLC.
To demonstrate an increase in overall survival for patients with newly diagnosed extended stage small cell lung cancer when treated with SR48692 versus placebo, after an initial response (complete or partial response or stable) to first line cisplatin plus etoposide. Primary objective: comparison of overall survival between patients in the control arm and the meclinertant arm. Secondary objectives: comparison of the progression free survival, the time to progression, the clinical benefit, the quality of life, the toxicity and safety between patients in the control arm and the meclinertant arm.
