Filter by:A multi-center Phase Ib/II study of the combination of RO5479599 with carboplatin and paclitaxel once in every 3 week (q3w) regimen to evaluate the safety and tolerability.
For patients with nonsquamous NSCLC and a good performance status (PS), pemetrexed and cisplatin has been recommended for first-line NSCLC treatment. Recently, results from the PARAMOUNT trial showed that patients with nonsquamous NSCLC who had a good PS and had not progressed after completing four cycles of pemetrexed-cisplatin induction therapy benefitted from pemetrexed continuation maintenance therapy. Furthermore, pemetrexed with bevacizumab continuous maintenance might be better treatment option, considering the results from AVAPEARL trial. Pemetrexed rechallenge has been reported to be effective in some patients. Therefore, in order to investigate the safety and efficacy of pemetrexed rechallenge with bevacizumab,we conducted this study.
Study to assess the toxicity, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and imaging characteristics associated with increasing doses of 131I-BIBH 1, to compare the uptake of 131I-BIBH 1 in tumour to that of normal tissue in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and to measure human anti-human antibody (HAHA) concentrations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have certain abnormalities in the pazopanib target genes respond to pazopanib treatment.
Purpose of the study is to determine the following in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR activating mutations. - the safety and tolerability of ASP8273. - the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ASP8273. - the antitumor activity of ASP8273.
Background: - Some people have cancers that don't respond to standard treatments. In these cases, doctors may try to use drugs to slow the growth of the cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and efficacy of the drug combination of ganetespib and ziv-aflibercept. Eligibility: - Adults age 18 and over with advanced cancer of the colon, lung, urinary tract, and sarcomas. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, blood tests, and scans to measure their tumors. - Participants will have one or two eye exams, with dilating eye drops. - Participants will get the study drugs at the clinic as an infusion in a vein. Ganetespib will be given once a week on the same day for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a 1-week rest period. Ziv-aflibercept will be given once every other week. The drugs will be given in 28-day cycles. - Participants may have a small piece of their tumor collected once or twice. This is done using a small needle during computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound scan. - Participants will have their blood pressure checked at each visit. They will check it at home every day of the study. - Participants may have one or more whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) scans with 89Zr-panitumumab. A small amount of a radioactive chemical will be injected through a tube in an arm. Participants will lie on a bed that slides in and out of the donut-shaped PET scanner. They will have small amounts of blood drawn. - Participants may stay in the study as long as they are tolerating the drugs and their tumor is not getting worse.
The vaccine contains humanized recombinant antigen (EGF - Epithelial Growth Factor) and an adjuvant. The antibodies induced by vaccination will react with circulating EGF leading to removal of EGF from the circulation. As a result, binding to its target EGF-Receptor is prevented. Blocking of EGF-Receptor is preventing activation and stimulation of proliferation of tumour cell. A Phase 3 clinical trial on the EGF vaccine is ongoing in Cuba. The result from previous studies demonstrated positive correlation between extended survival and immune response against the vaccination in the late-stage NSCLC patients' age below 60 with improved quality of life. The purpose of this international Phase 3 trial is to determine whether the recombinant human EGF cancer vaccine is safe, immunogenic and effective in the treatment of stage IV NSCLC patients who are positive in the selective EGF biomarker and wild type EGF-Receptor compared to standard treatment and supportive care.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and anti-tumor effect of rociletinib with erlotinib in patients whose tumors have specific EGFR mutations and who have not previously received any treatment for advanced/metastatic EGFR mutated NSCLC. This study is a 'Randomized' Study. This means that upon entering the study, patients will be randomly assigned to be dosed with either rociletinib twice a day or erlotinib once a day. Patients will continue to take either rociletinib or erlotinib until it is no longer beneficial.
The patients carrying a complicated primary lung cancer brain metastases die in less than 3 months of delay disease in the absence of treatment. The median survival of these patients is approximately six months when the treatment associated with radiotherapy chemotherapy based on cisplatin is now the standard treatment. In most studies the patients die of their brain disease in one case only two, so it is likely that some patients do not require brain irradiation (prognosis in this case is linked to extra-cerebral disease ). The benefits for patients in group B (without systematic irradiation) are not to suffer the side effects of this radiation. The risks are in the same group to see brain metastases become symptomatic. The role of cerebral radiotherapy in the patients treated with chemotherapy is unclear: should all patients be irradiated systematically (since the "reference" treatment is involved and with the aim of obtaining better control of the brain lesions and maintaining a better neurological status) or should only the patients showing cerebral progression be irradiated (avoidance of possibly useless brain radiotherapy and its side effects). The aim of this study is to better determine the position of cerebral radiotherapy in this context. Main objective: determine whether there is a difference in terms of progression-free survival between a therapeutic strategy with initial systematic brain radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy cis-platine/alimta + / - Bevacizumab and strategy with an initial chemotherapy cis-platine/alimta + / - Bevacizumab associated with brain radiotherapy only in cases of cerebral progression in patients with NSCLC with asymptomatic brain metastases
Dose-dense chemotherapy is a chemotherapy treatment plan in which drugs are given with less time between treatments than in standard chemotherapy. The two chemotherapy drugs used in this study, docetaxel and cisplatin, are approved for the treatment of lung cancer when given every 21 days. This study is exploring the response to chemotherapy when these drugs are given every 14 days. In addition, genetic tests will be performed on pre-treatment specimens to identify signatures that may predict chemotherapy sensitivity or resistance.
