Filter by:Determine whether viagenpumatucel-L combined with low-dose cyclophosphamide prolongs survival in patients with NSCLC who failed 2 or 3 prior lines of therapy for incurable or metastatic disease compared with chemotherapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lucitanib is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic lung cancer and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF), or platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) related genetic alterations.
This is a single arm phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intercalated combination of doublet chemotherapy of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and erlotinib on patients with advanced stage non-small-cell lung cancer with low abundant activating EGFR mutation.
To assess the anti-tumor activity of CAP7.1 based on the observed objective response rate and rate of disease stabilization, as defined by the below primary and secondary endpoints, in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), SCLC or biliary cancer who have progressed despite one or more previous chemotherapy line.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TH-302 in combination with pemetrexed is safe and effective in the treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
This study is to determine the use of theophylline in patients with NSCLC and advanced solid malignancies and whether treatment with theophylline will help lower or diminish the side effect of diarrhea in patients taking erlotinib. Patients will be enrolled in one of two parts of the study to verify the lowest dose of theophylline that is effective and the highest dose of erlotinib that can be tolerated with theophylline. If this study shows that theophylline is able to inhibit erlotinib induced diarrhea, it will help demonstrate that patients using the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs), erlotinib, can use it effectively at higher doses without experiencing severe diarrhea.
The goals of this clinical research are to evaluate the outcomes and tumor response for early stage non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) using four dimensional (4D) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT), Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Real-Time Position Management (RPM™) and body immobilization system (see figure 1). Specifically, the effect of image-guided SBRT treatment on clinical tumor response rate, local control and progression-free survival will be studied. This study will examine target volumes and relevant margins determined by an assessment using 4D PET and repeated 4D CT. These data will allow us to evaluate and determine the impact of the body immobilization system on the planning target volume (PTV) margins, patient's breathing pattern, target motion, and inter-treatment targets shifts.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the effects of taking doxepin hydrochloride as compared to placebo (inactive drug) in treating esophageal pain in patients with cancer located in the chest area receiving radiation therapy to the thorax with or without chemotherapy. Doxepin hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant drug which was recently shown to be helpful for mouth pain in patients receiving radiation therapy. Doxepin hydrochloride affects the surface of the esophagus, which may be helpful in reducing the pain caused by radiation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of hormone therapies (androgen pathway modification) on the outcomes of patients with lung cancer. This information may be of benefit for future treatment strategies, prevention and control. In this study, the protein where testosterone binds, called the androgen receptor (AR), will be measured in samples from the patient's biopsy and surgical tumor samples. The investigators will look at a marker of how fast the cancer is growing (Ki67) before using finasteride from your biopsy specimen. Finasteride will be taken from the day of consent until the day of the patient's surgery. This marker will be measured again after using finasteride from the surgical specimen. The investigators will be looking for a decrease in the Ki67 from the patient's biopsy specimen to the surgical specimen as an indicator that this medication is blocking tumour growth.
It is the hypothesis of this protocol that a subset of NSCLC patients with stage IVa disease can benefit from curative therapy and extends beyond the very limited subset of oligometastatic patients that have already been studied.
