Filter by:This randomized pilot clinical trial studies exercise intervention in improving quality of life and exercise capacity and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with lung cancer and their support persons. Exercise therapy may help improve quality of life, may increase exercise capacity, and may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with lung cancer and their supporters.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess the safety, tolerability and activity of carfilzomib given in combination with carboplatin and etoposide as initial therapy for subjects with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer (ES SCLC).
As the gene polymorphism of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1(UGT1A1)is related to the side effect of diarrhea induced by irinotecan. UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7) and *6 (G/G and G/A) is related to low probability of diarrhea and UGT1A1 gene *28 (7/7) and *6 (A/A)is related to high probability of diarrhea. The purpose of this study is to find out the efficacy and side effect between two different dosages of irinotecan combined with cisplatin scheme in extensive disease-small cell lung cancer with UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7)and *6 (G/G and G/A), based on the hypothesis that the UGT1A1 gene *28 (7/7) and *6 (A/A)is few in the Chinese population and increasing the dose of irinotecan can improve the efficacy without increasing the side effect in the patients with UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7)*6 (G/G and G/A).
Rare tumors are understudied, yet have the potential to shed light on vast areas of cancer research. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, rare tumors of childhood and young adulthood, have recently been found to be associated with a lung cancer of early childhood called pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). The cause of these ovarian tumors is unknown. DICER1 mutations are seen in the majority of children with PPB. Research shows DICER1 mutations are also seen in some patients with ovarian tumors. Like PPB, ovarian stromal tumors are highly curable when found in early stage; however, later forms of the disease are aggressive and often fatal. The International Ovarian Stromal Tumor Registry collects clinical and biologic data to understand why these tumors occur and how to treat them. Current work involves the study of the role of DICER1 and miRNA expression in ovarian stromal tumors. Understanding the clinical history, predisposing factors and DICER1 and miRNA expression in these ovarian tumors of childhood will lead to targeted screening and risk stratification for evidence-based treatment and biologically rational therapies. These efforts will improve the lives of children by increasing survival and reducing late effects. The specific goals of the International Ovarian and Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry are: 1. to understand risk factors by studying age, pathologic subtype, histopathologic features, tumor invasiveness, degree of differentiation, presence of metastasis 2. to collect information on personal and family history in order to refine the clinical characteristics of patients and families with and without germline DICER1 mutations and other genetic predisposing factors 3. to determine whether there is a pattern of gene expression or DNA alterations that correlate with predisposition to ovarian tumors, biologic behavior and clinical outcome 4. to determine optimal screening regimens 5. to use clinical data obtained through the Registry to refine treatment algorithms 6. to establish a collection of annotated biology specimens (tumor tissue and germline DNA) for future research
Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of PM01183 in Combination with Fixed Doxorubicin in Non- Heavily Pretreated Patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with doxorubicin, to characterize the safety profile and feasibility of this combination, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of this combination, to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity,to explore the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a potential improvable dose of this combination in selected tumor types [i.e. small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and endometrial cáncer] and to evaluate the pharmacogenomics (PGx) in tumor samples of patients exposed to PM01183 and doxorubicin at the RD in order to assess potential markers of response and/or resistance.
The study examines the physical capacity of lung cancer patients assessed with the six minute walk test and handgrip strength. Demographic and selfreported exercise behavior is registered to explore correlations to functional and physical capacity. Assessments are made before first chemotherapy cycle and after fourth chemotherapy cycle, an expected average of 12 weeks between first and second assessment.
The purpose of this study is to determine a well-tolerated dose of Carfilzomib in combination with Irinotecan (Phase 1b portion of the study) in subjects with relapsed small and non-small cell lung cancer or other irinotecan-sensitive cancers and to assess the 6 month survival of relapsed small cell lung cancer patients treated with this combination therapy. **The Phase 1b portion of the study is now complete**. Phase 2 portion of the study. The safest, maximally tolerated dose established as established in Phase 1 for Phase 2 is as follows -- Carfilzomib will be provided at 20/36 mg/m^2 with Irinotecan dosed at 125 mg/m^2. The purpose of the Phase 2 portion of the study is to assess 6 month survival of relapsed small cell lung cancer ins subjects treated with this combination therapy.
This phase II trial studies how well ponatinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage III-IV lung cancer. Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This pilot clinical trial studies CPI-613 (6,8-bis[benzylthio]octanoic acid) in treating patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer. CPI-613 may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the effects of TAS-102 with either amrubicin or topotecan (drugs used in Small Cell Lung Cancer) on lung cancer to find out the effects on survival, how much time may pass without disease progression, and the safety of TAS-102.
