Filter by: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.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the study drug ZK 219477 (also known as SH Y03757A) combined with cisplatin, is effective in the treatment of small cell lung cancer in patients who did not receive prior treatment for their lung cancer
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
Main objective: To evaluate whether the subcutaneous administration (sc) of Bemiparin (3,500 UI/day) for 26 weeks, starting on the first day of chemotherapy (CT), delays tumoral spread and increases progression-free survival. Secondary objectives: To evaluate whether the subcutaneous administration (sc) of Bemiparin (3,500 UI/day) for 26 weeks, starting with the onset of chemotherapy, increases global survival, improving the response rates to treatment with CT + RT (radiotherapy) and reduces the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Evaluation of intravenous Topotecan + Cisplatin as a potential new standard of care in 1st line Small Cell Lung Cancer
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 determine the safety and effectiveness of the combination of oxaliplatin and irinotecan (CPT-11) in patients with previously untreated, advanced small cell lung cancer.
This study was designed to find the safest and most effective dose of a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, Hycamtin® (topotecan) and Paraplatin® (carboplatin), in people with extensive disease small cell lung cancer.
