Filter by:RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radiation therapy together with pemetrexed may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving whole-brain radiation therapy together with pemetrexed works in treating patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer.
This clinical study is being conducted at multiple sites to determine the activity, safety, and tolerability of XL999 when given weekly to patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). XL999 is a small molecule inhibitor of multiple kinases including VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, FLT-3, and Src, which are involved in tumor cell growth, formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), and metastasis.
Randomised trial of chemotherapy or not before surgery in early resectable stages of NSCLC (IB, IIA, IIB, and IIIA/N2).
- Primary : To determine the safety profile of each treatment group. - Secondary : To determine efficacy in term of overall response, disease free survival and survival at 1 and 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine the most suitable dose of Oxaliplatin that can be safely given in combination with a low fixed dose of Capecitabine and a limited volume of radiation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a phase II, randomized, multicenter, open-label study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of concomitant chemotherapy with low-dose temozolomide during whole brain radiation and later on at 14 days on/14 days off schedule in patients with cerebral metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The response to temozolomide will be evaluated by clinical follow up and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) performed every 2 months. Progression-free survival at 6 months, duration of overall survival, and quality of life will also be evaluated.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pemetrexed disodium may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using a treatment called transimmunization in addition to standard therapy (radiation) in the treatment of lung cancer. Transimmunization is a treatment of the blood designed to boost the immune response against lung cancer. Transimmunization uses a device called a UVAR-XTS instrument, to remove a portion of blood, part of which is returned, and part of which is incubated overnight before being returned to the bloodstream the next day.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new blood test as a way to follow the effect of Zometa in treating bone metastases due to lung cancer.
Primary Objective: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel when given with Irinotecan and Carboplatin for the treatment of inoperable lung cancer. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the dose-related toxicities of this triple regimen in patients with inoperable lung cancer.
