Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine how berries affect cancer tumors in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
The objective of this study is to test a clinical benefit of the addition of CP 751,871 to erlotinib therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC of non adenocarcinoma histology. The primary endpoint is Overall Survival (OS).
RATIONALE: Because of its success in advanced NSCLC both as a single agent and in combination with other chemotherapeutics, it is reasonable to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel as a multimodality regimen in this patient population. Docetaxel at a dose of 20 mg/m2 appears to be a well-tolerated "weekly" dose when combined with either cisplatin 25 mg/m2 20-22 or carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 2 23-25 concomitant with radiation therapy. PURPOSE: To explore the potential benefits of the radiosensitizing effects of weekly docetaxel/carboplatin/radio therapy concurrent therapy followed full dose systemic docetaxel/carboplatin consolidation therapy on overall response rate, survival, progression-free survival, safety and toxicity in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding ASA404 to standard chemotherapy makes the cancer treatment more effective in patients with advanced lung cancer.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with paclitaxel and radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients unable to tolerate cisplatin with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed by surgery. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving vorinostat together with paclitaxel and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
The purpose of this study is to determine if radical radiochemotherapy on the mediastinum after lobectomy can be associated with significant long term survival in patients with initially unresectable stage III NSCLC responding to induction chemotherapy but in which the residual disease is too large to be treated by radiotherapy.
This single arm genetic substudy of MO19390 will test the hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between mRNA BRCAI levels and the response to different chemotherapy combinations plus Avastin. A subset of patients participating in MO19390, and receiving Avastin 15mg/kg iv on day 1 and subsequently once every 3 weeks, will undergo BRCAI mRNA expression determination. Depending on the BRCAI mRNA level (low, medium or high) they will receive a different chemotherapy regimen in combination with Avastin: a)gemcitabine/cisplatin, b)vinorelbine + cisplatin/docetaxel + cisplatin or c)vinorelbine or docetaxel. Avastin treatment will continue after completion of chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
In this study we want to investigate the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is an anti-oxidant, in the prevention of cisplatin-induced neural toxicity, in patients treated for lung cancer with chemotherapy containing cisplatin.
The purpose of the present trial is to assess if induction concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by consolidation chemotherapy will improve survival in comparison with the same chemotherapy given as induction followed by consolidation concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether administration of maintenance temozolomide following standard treatment could possibly prevent or delay the onset of brain metastases in patients with controlled non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
