This randomized phase II trial studies how well pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin or cisplatin with or without erlotinib hydrochloride work in treating patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant positive stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and acquired resistance to first-line therapy with erlotinib hydrochloride or gefitinib. In patients that develop resistance to first-line therapy with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) the drug is usually stopped and the patient is switched to chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, carboplatin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin or cisplatin is more effective with or without erlotinib hydrochloride in treating patients with EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer and acquired resistance to EGFR TKIs.
A phase II trial evaluating Cabazitaxel in patients with brain metastasis secondary to breast and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). OBJECTIVES: Primary: The purpose of this study is to determine if cabazitaxel can induce a reduction in the size brain metastasis in metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer and NSCLC with brain metastasis who were not previously treated with whole brain irradiation or require immediate brain irradiation. Secondary: - To determine the effect of cabazitaxel on the time to initiating whole brain irradiation or radiosurgery - To determine the effect of cabazitaxel on the time to developing neurological symptoms - To determine the effect of cabazitaxel on the time to disease progression in the brain - To determine the effect of cabazitaxel on the time to disease progression outside the brain. This will be evaluated separately for the breast and NSCLC cohorts To determine the objective extra-cranial response (if applicable). This will be evaluated separately in the breast and NSCLC cohorts - To determine the safety of cabazitaxel
The purpose of this Phase I study is to test the safety of combining afatinib with standard chemotherapy and radiation. The drug afatinib will be given before the chemotherapy and radiation therapy to shrink the tumor and evaluate how afatinib affects the patient. This study will then test the safety of afatinib at different dose levels when combined with the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin or carboplatin, and pemetrexed. These treatments will be given during radiation treatment and the drug afatinib will be continued after chemotherapy and radiation.
To determine the optimal dose and schedule of Fusilev to prevent or reduce Folotyn-related Grade 3 or higher oral mucositis in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
NSCLC tumors are appropriate targets for active immunotherapy, because they are non-immunogenic, which indicates that NSCLC does not stimulate a spontaneous immune response. NSCLC tumor-secreted gp96-Ig is an ideal vaccine because it combines adjuvant activity with polyvalent peptide specificity. Tumor secreted gp96 activates dendritic cells (DC), natural killer cells (NK) and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Tumor cells can be killed by NK-specific mechanisms, by promiscuous killing of CD8 CTL through NKG2D, and by MHC restricted CD8 CTL activity. The activation of DC and NK by tumor secreted gp96 may also counteract the generation of immuno-suppressive CD4 regulatory cells. Suppression of adenosinergic pathways by oxygen and theophylline in combination with immunotherapy will improve tumor rejection. Allogeneic, gp96-Ig secreting tumor cells used as vaccine are expected to generate NK and CTL with activity to the patient's autologous tumor.
Phase Ib study investigating whether liposome BLP25 mucin-1 (MUC1) peptide-specific immunotherapy (L-BLP25) administered as weekly subcutaneous doses over 8 weeks following a single dose of intravenous cyclophosphamide (CPA) induces a reproducible cytokine pattern measured in the serum of unresected Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subjects after first-line chemo-radiation therapy.
The current trial "A Phase I/II study of Erlotinib +/- Tivozanib as initial treatment for Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer assigned by VeriStrat® Serum Proteomic Evaluation" will begin by evaluating toxicity for the combination of Tivozanib and Erlotinib to determine a phase II dose. The phase II portion of the study will seek to duplicate the finding of the BEER trial in a selected population of patients with NSCLC with a VeriStrat® Good signature using two oral agents with Tivozanib substituted for bevacizumab. Phase II will be designed as a selection-based randomized trial. Patients with VeriStrat® Good signature will be assigned to EGFR inhibitor therapy with a randomization to Erlotinib plus/minus Tivozanib. Patients with VeriStrat® Poor signature will be assigned to standard of care. Standard-of-care chemotherapy as first treatment at the discretion of patient and physician will be evaluated for response to treatment, survival and repeat VeriStrat® signature.
This open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, dose-escalating phase Ib study with an expansion cohort will determine the recommended Phase II dose and schedule to investigate safety, tolerability, and activity of RO5083945 in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine or carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer of squamous histology who have not received prior chemotherapy for the metastatic disease. Cohorts of patients will receive escalating doses of RO5083945 in combination with up to 6 cycles of cisplatin and gemcitabine or carboplatin and paclitaxel. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
This study wants to determine the activity of a first-line treatment related to Thymidylate Synthetase (TS) Expression. Patients with the diagnosis of non-squamous advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung-Cancer (Stage IV) and without evidence of EGFR mutation may be enclosed in this clinical trial.
