Filter by:This trial will investigate the addition of an antibody (Ipilimumab) to conventional Carboplatin and Etoposide chemotherapy in extensive stage small cell lung cancer. The primary objective is to establish the progression free survival at 1 year.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of cryotherapy (cryoablation [CA]) in treating patients with lung cancer. Cryotherapy kills cancer cells by freezing them.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether green tea extract is safe for extensive-stage small lung cancer who achieved objective tumor response after first-line therapy.
This is a Phase II, randomized, open-label, multi-center study in advanced (Stage IVA and IVB subjects per the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2009 Lung cancer staging schema) non-squamous NSCLC subjects comparing pazopanib relative to pemetrexed in the maintenance setting. Subjects should have completed 4-6 cycles of induction therapy with carboplatin + pemetrexed or cisplatin + pemetrexed and have had Stable Disease (SD), Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) as the best response to be enrolled into the study. The primary objective is to estimate the hazard ratio of progression free survival (PFS) in advanced NSCLC subjects given maintenance therapy of pazopanib (Arm A) relative to pemetrexed (Arm B). The secondary objectives are: overall survival, response rates, safety and tolerability. A total of approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Safety and efficacy assessments will be regularly performed on all subjects.
Background: - The current standard of care for advanced lung cancer and cancers of the thymus consists primarily of chemotherapy treatment. The drugs used for chemotherapy depend on the classification of the cancer in different categories that are based on the appearance of the cancer in the microscope. Though this approach has been proved to be useful in some ways, the survival rates of individuals with lung cancer and cancers of the thymus are still very poor. Recent research has shown that several genetic abnormalities play an important role in the development and growth of lung cancer and cancers of the thymus, and that it is possible to improve treatment success rates with drugs that specifically target some of the abnormal genes. Researchers are interested in determining whether it is possible to analyze the genes of patients with lung cancer and cancers of the thymus in order to provide personalized treatment with drugs that target the specific gene abnormalities. Objectives: - To evaluate the effectiveness of genetic analysis in determining targeted therapy for individuals with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and thymic cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with either lung cancer or a cancer of the thymus that is not considered to be curable with the use of surgery or radiation therapy. Design: - Participants will be screened with a full medical history and physical examination, blood and urine tests, and tumor imaging studies. Participants will have a tumor biopsy or provide previously collected tumor tissue for study. - Based on the results of the tumor biopsy study, participants will be separated into different treatment groups: - Participants with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation will receive a drug called erlotinib, which inhibits a protein called EGFR that is thought to be a key factor in the development and progression of some cancers. - Participants with Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS), proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF), Harvey Rat sarcoma virus (HRAS), or NRAF gene mutations will receive a drug called AZD6244, which inhibits a protein called methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) that is thought to be a key factor in the development and progression of some cancers. - Participants with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA), protein kinase B (AKT), or phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene mutations will receive a drug called MK-2206, which inhibits a protein called AKT that is thought to be a key factor in the development and progression of some cancers. - Participants with KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor A, (PDGFRA) gene mutations will receive a drug called sunitinib, which inhibits some proteins that are thought to be key factors in the development and progression of some cancers, including kidney cancer. - Participants who have -erb-b2 avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 (ERBB2) gene mutation or amplification will receive a drug called lapatinib, which inhibits some proteins that are thought to be key factors in the development and progression of some cancers, including breast cancer. - Participants who do not have any of the genetic abnormalities described above will be offered different options for treatment, including standard of care chemotherapy or treatment with investigational agents in a different research protocol. - After 6 weeks of treatment, participants will have imaging studies to evaluate the status of their cancer. Treatment will continue as long as participants tolerate the drugs, and the disease does not progress. - Participants who benefit from the first treatment but eventually develop resistance and progression of their cancer will be offered the chance to have a second tumor biopsy and undergo a different treatment for their cancer.
This is a single-arm, open-label study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of talazoparib in patients with advanced tumors with DNA-repair pathway deficiencies. There will be 2 parts to the study: a dose escalation phase in which the maximum tolerated dose will be defined, and a dose expansion phase.
The purpose of this study was to determine an effective and safe dose of sotatercept (ACE-011) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are being treated with first-line platinum based chemotherapy.
This phase II clinical trial is studying the how well veliparib, topotecan hydrochloride, and filgrastim or pegfilgrastim work in treating patients with persistent or recurrent cervical cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by blocking them from dividing. Giving veliparib with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Filgrastim or pegfilgrastim may cause the body to make more blood cells and help it recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.
This was a 2-arm, open-label, phase 2 study of pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG) 20 in subjects with relapsed sensitive or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC). ADI-PEG 20 was administered intramuscularly (IM) at a fixed dose of 320 IU/m^2 once weekly for a 4-week cycle. The primary objective was to assess clinical efficacy with a primary endpoint of tumor response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 after 4 weeks. Secondary objectives were to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of ADI-PEG 20, as well as clinical efficacy with a secondary endpoint of overall survival.
Pazopanib is a drug that inhibits proteins thought to be important for new blood vessel formation. This drug has been used in other cancer research studies and information from those studies suggests that pazopanib may help block proteins that are important for the growth, invasion, and spread of cancer cells.
