Filter by:Primary Objective The primary objective of this phase I-II study is to evaluate: - Phase I: Assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib in a weekly schedule with bevacizumab given every 3 weeks. - Phase II: Using the MTD established in phase I, assess efficacy of the combination as indicated by progression-free survival. Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate: - Response rates and duration of response - 1 year survival - Overall survival - Qualitative and quantitative toxicity - Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) prior to treatment, prior to cycle 2, and/or at the time of progression
To determine the effectiveness of CP-868,596 + docetaxel, AG-013736 + docetaxel and CP-868,596 + AG-013736 + docetaxel in patients previously treated for non-small cell lung cancer.
RATIONALE: Treatment with radiosurgery, temozolomide, and erlotinib may affect brain function (the ability to think, learn, remember, and judge) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and brain metastases. A study that evaluates brain function may help doctors plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the effect of radiosurgery, temozolomide, and erlotinib on brain function in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and brain metastases.
The trial evaluates the utility of 18FDG-PET/CT scan in the target definition process when SBRT is planned for stage I NSCLC.
To determine the dose and schedule of sirolimus when given in combination with panitumumab in adult subjects with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC
This study is randomized phase III trial designed to assess whether (preoperative) neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin (experimental treatment) improves 3-year disease-free survival, compared to surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin (standard treatment) in stage IB, IIA, IIB and T3N1 non-small cell lung cancer
- The purpose of the phase I portion of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant bortezomib in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin followed by surgery in early stage non-small cell lung cancer, via a multi-cohort dose escalation trial. - The phase II portion of the study will look at the clinical response rate and the pathology response rate. Other purposes are to look at surgical morbidity, mortality and respectability rates. Molecular correlates of response and survival to this neoadjuvant regimen will be explored.
RATIONALE: Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Gefitinib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving gefitinib together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of radiation therapy when given together with gefitinib and to see how well they work in treating patients with inoperable stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.
The study is designed for patients with non small cell lung cancer whose cancer is too advanced and therefore cannot be operated with the goal of completely removing the cancer. At this stage of the disease, most patients cannot be cured from the disease, however, treatment can help to live longer and better by keeping the cancer under control. For that purpose, patients traditionally receive radiation therapy or chemotherapy or both treatments in succession. Recently, the administration of both treatment methods given concurrently showed somewhat better results when compared to successive administration. In some studies the drug Taxotere together with radiation performed well in keeping the cancer better under control. Combination of the drug Taxotere together with a compound called 5-FU either as continuous infusion or in its oral form of a pill called "Xeloda" enhanced its anti cancer activity substantially. One goal of this study is to investigate how much of the combination can be given in conjunction with chest radiation. Using X-rays, the study will also evaluate how much shrinkage of the cancer is caused by this treatment directly at the tumor site and other areas where the cancer may have also spread. In this study the radiation will be given on only one day per week in two sessions, rather than divided over five days per week (Monday through Friday) as it is more commonly used. However, both schedules have been found to be equally effective. The treatment program will use increasing doses of the 5-FU medication, either as infusion or as pill to find the highest dose that is tolerated. Once the highest tolerated dose is determined, subsequent patients who will be enrolled will continue to be treated at that dose level. The dose of the drug Taxotere will remain the same throughout. Hypothesis: Our previous research suggests that the combination of Taxotere and 5-FU given together with weekly chest radiation will provide a more convenient form of treatment than the conventional approach and also be at least similar in its efficacy.
This phase I/II, multi-centered, non-randomized trial is designed to determine a safe dose of PT-523 for subjects, and to make preliminary evaluations on the activity of PT-523 as therapy in subjects with NSCLC.
