Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer after completion of combination chemotherapy. Pembrolizumab may be effective in controlling small cell lung cancer for a longer period of time in patients with responsive or stable disease after completion of combination chemotherapy.
This study is a Phase III, randomised, open label, multi-centre study assessing the efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1 positive tumours and the combination of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) plus tremelimumab (MEDI4736+treme) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1-negative tumours in the treatment of male and female patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV), who have received at least 2 prior systemic treatment regimens including 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for NSCLC. Patients with known EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) tyrosine kinase (TK) activating mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are not eligible for the study (prospective testing is not planned within this study). The Standard of Care options are: an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (erlotinib [TARCEVA®]), gemcitabine or vinorelbine (NAVELBINE®)
This phase II trial studies how well selinexor work in treating patients with small-cell lung cancer that has returned after a period of improvement. One specific way cancer cells continue to grow is by getting rid of certain proteins called "tumor suppressor proteins: that would normally cause cancer cells to die. Selinexor works by trapping "tumor suppressing proteins" within the cell and may cause the cancer cells to die or stop growing.
The study intervention consists of the early integration of palliative care services into standard oncology care in an outpatient setting for patients with advanced lung and non-colorectal gastrointestinal malignancies who are not being treated with curative intent. The palliative care services provided to patients randomized to the intervention will be provided by board-certified physicians and/or advanced practice nurses and will focus on the following areas: (1) developing and maintaining the therapeutic relationship with the patients and family caregivers; (2) assessing and treating patient symptoms; (3) providing support and reinforcement of coping with advanced cancer in patients and family caregivers; (4) assessing and enhancing prognostic awareness and illness understanding in patients and family caregivers; (5) assisting with treatment decision-making; and (6) end-of-life care planning.
This study is aimed to evaluate the progression-free survival(PFS) and also survival of IP and EP (head-to-head) as the first line therapy for extensive stage small-cell lung cancer and to explore the reasonable first-line therapy for Chinese population. An open-label, multi-center study will be conducted with dynamic randomization of approximately 1:1 ratio with an estimation of 308 eligible participants.
This Phase II randomized study is to determine whether once-daily simultaneous modulated accelerated thoracic radiotherapy (RT) resulted in better survival than twice-daily RT for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC).
The Phase Ib and II cohorts will enroll patients with metistatic solid tumors. Phase II only will enroll the following patients: Patients with metastatic sarcoma to be enrolled in the following 4 arms: pembro plus gemcitabine, pembro plus gemcitabine and docetaxel, pembro plus gemcitabine and vinorelbine, and pembro plus liposomal doxorubicin. Patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma to be enrolled in the pembro plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel arm. Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer to be enrolled in the pembro plus irinotecan arm. Patients with ER+ breast cancer to be enrolled in the pembro and vinorelbine arm. Patients with ovarian cancer to be enrolled in the pembroplus liposomal doxorubicin arm. Patients with metastatic TNBC (ER/PR/HER2 negative) to be enrolled in the pembro plus gemcitabine arm.
ABSTRACT Objectives Combination chemotherapy is very active in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), although no improvement in overall survival (OS) has been done in the last 25 years , with Cisplatin-Etoposide (PE) still considered the world-wide standard, with an average median survival of about 7-8 months in patients with extended disease (ED). In 1995, a randomized trial of the Hoosier Group in 171 ED patients showed a significant advantage in overall survival in patients treated with PEI (Cisplatin, Etoposide and Ifosfamide), compared to PE. Despite that, PEI regimen has not become a commonly used regimen in SCLC. Materials and Methods Here we present a series of 46 consecutive patients (30 males and 16 females) with SCLC that were treated at our Institution with PEI regimen: Cisplatin 20mg/m2, Etoposide 75mg/m2 and Ifosfamide 1200mg/m2, day 1 to 4, every 3 weeks. Patients received a total of 219 cycles of chemotherapy, with a mean of 4,7 cycles per patient. Median age was 63 (range 59-70); performance status (PS) was 0 in 29 patients (63%), 1 in 13 patients (28%) and 2 in 4 patients (9%).
Patients with untreated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer(SCLC) were randomly assigned to receive either irinotecan/cisplatin (IP) or etoposide/cisplatin(EP), The association of efficacy and toxicity of IP regimen was analyzed.
This phase 2 trial evaluates how well pegylated irinotecan (NKTR-102) works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), or breast cancer (mBC) that has spread to the brain and does not respond to treatment. Pegylated irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
