Filter by:This study involves treatment with KD019 or erlotinib in patients with Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed after first- or second- line chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that KD019 can prolong survival compared with erlotinib.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of cancer treatment on the brain. Some cancer patients report changes in their memory or thinking after treatment. These changes could be a result of changes in brain structure, such as a change in size or thickness of different parts of the brain. The investigators will look to see if these changes in brain structure happen through the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators will do this by looking at the brain structure of lung cancer patients who have surgery and chemotherapy versus those who have surgery only.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of MLN8237 when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MLN8237 and erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether Ipilimumab will prolong survival when compared to Pemetrexed in subjects with nonsquamous, non-small cell lung cancer.
The vaccine contains humanized recombinant antigen (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 III 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 III trial is to determine whether the recombinant human EGF cancer vaccine is safe, immunogenic and effective in the treatment of stage IIIB/IV NSCLC patients compared to standard treatment and supportive care.
Background: - PF-02341066 and PF-00299804 are drugs that specifically target certain proteins that may be more active in cancer cells than normal cells, in particular in non-small cell lung cancer. Both drugs seem to be able to stop the growth of or kill cancer cells. Researchers want to combine them to see if they are a safe and effective treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of PF-02341066 and PF-00299804 for advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will also have blood and urine tests, and imaging studies. Heart and lung function tests and an eye exam may also be given. - The first cycle of treatment will be 28 days. Every cycle after the first will be 21 days. Participants may have up to 17 cycles of treatment. - Participants will take both study drugs as tablets. Twelve hours after the first dose, participants will take only the PF-02341066. This dose schedule will remain the same throughout the study. - Participants will be monitored with frequent blood and urine tests and imaging studies. Tumor biopsies will be taken as needed. Those in the study will keep a diary to record any symptoms or side effects of taking the study drugs. - After 17 cycles of treatment, or after stopping the study drugs early for any other reason, participants will have a final followup visit.
This phase II trial will evaluate phyto-therapy's, in the form of blueberry powder, synergistic effect on second-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The proposition is that the addition of blueberry polyphenolics to routine docetaxel therapy will have a significant, positive effect in the response rate and overall survival.
This is an open-label, common follow-up trial. Subjects who were enrolled in a Merck KGaA, EMD Serono or Merck Serono Japan sponsored trial with Tecemotide (L-BLP25) can be enrolled in this follow-up trial to continue their maintenance treatment with Tecemotide (L-BLP25). Subjects will be transferred once all feeder trial objectives have been met. Subjects who received Tecemotide (L-BLP25) in a feeder trial will continue Tecemotide (L-BLP25) treatment in this follow-up trial and have safety assessments performed as well as be observed for progressive disease and survival in 6- month intervals. Subjects who had not received Tecemotide (L-BLP25) in feeder trials, or discontinued treatment will only be observed for progressive disease and survival in 6-month intervals and will not be provided treatment with Tecemotide (L-BLP25).
This study investigates if using a very low carbohydrate diet during combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy is safe and if it can be tolerated by lung cancer patients.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together is more effective with or without vorinostat in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
