Filter by:Between 10% and 25% of newly diagnosed stage IIIB/stage IV patients currently receive single agent chemotherapy regimens. A significant proportion of these patients will be elderly (70 years of age) and many oncologists would consider intravenous vinorelbine or gemcitabine to be the standard of care in this patient population. It has been demonstrated that single agent vinorelbine offers therapeutic advantages to selected NSCLC patients over best supportive care alone. Carboplatin plus Alimta have an acceptable toxicity profile and few clinical problems so it could be acceptable its use in elderly patients. A randomised study is being performed therefore to assess whether progression free survival, the primary efficacy endpoint for this study, achieved with Carboplatin plus Alimta is superior than achieved with gemcitabine, one of the current standards of care in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.
To evaluate the tumor responses to SNDX-275 (entinostat) in combination with continued erlotinib in participants with non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) who are progressing on erlotinib.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, who progressed after first line treatment. Pretreatment with one of the two agents would not excluded patients from the study, in order to evaluate whether the combination of the two biologic agents could reverse tumor resistance.
1. Patients with confirmed advanced NSCLC and any response to 3-6 cycles of chemotherapy, were randomized to receive PCI (30 Gy/10fr) or no PCI. 2. The primary endpoint was the cumulative incidence of symptomatic brain metastases (BM) . 3. The study was sized to detect a hazard ratio of 0.37 with 80% power and 2-sided 5% significance (60 events, 206 patients).
Primary Objectives: - To assess the safety of oral therapy with ZD6474 by evaluating the frequency, severity, and duration of treatment-emergent adverse events in patients with poor prognosis lung cancer. - To record the extent, frequency and duration of any tumor responses to this treatment regimen and assess whether ZD6474 augments the efficacy of radiation therapy in non-small cell lung cancer patients. - To determine the recommended phase II dose of ZD6474 for future clinical studies with radiation therapy. Secondary Objectives: - To determine the effects on metabolism and angiogenic factors by positron emission tomography (PET) scan/computed tomography (CT) scan , vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and circulating endothelial cell levels in patients treated with ZD6474 and radiation therapy.
This randomized phase III trial studies pemetrexed disodium to see how well it works compared with erlotinib hydrochloride as second-line therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Pemetrexed disodium and 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 is more effective than erlotinib hydrochloride in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding ASA404 to docetaxel chemotherapy makes the cancer treatment more effective in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study for patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (stage IIIB or IV). The objective of this study is progression-free survival of bevacizumab and pemetrexed compared to pemetrexed monotherapy during second-line treatment of Stage IIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Primary Objectives: The primary objectives of this study are as follows: • To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of escalating ABT-751 in combination with fixed dose carboplatin in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). • To evaluate the efficacy of the combination with ABT-751 and carboplatin in patients with advanced NSCLC • To determine the median survival in the study population Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives are: • To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of ABT-751 given in combination with carboplatin in a subset of patients, treated at the MTD or recommended doses for Phase 2. • To determine the pharmacodynamics of ABT-751 as a single agent and the combination of ABT-751 and carboplatin as evaluated by cell cycle analysis of buccal mucosa cells.
Pemetrexed is approved for second line therapy in metastatic NSCLC. Given the single-agent activity of pemetrexed and the tolerability of pemetrexed in combination with radiation, this study will evaluate survival rates and toxicities in patients with poor risk stage III NSCLC.
