Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of CC-4047 (pomalidomide) given in combination with cisplatin and etoposide in patients with extensive disease small cell lung cancer.
Current treatments for limited stage small cell lung cancer have poor cure rates. The addition of chest radiation to chemotherapy improves cure rates, but these cancers still come back in the chest 30-50% of the time. Two factors which can improve control and cure rates for this cancer are increasing the chest radiation dose and minimizing the overall time it takes to complete radiation treatments. One method to achieve both of these goals is to give more radiation each day. This study is meant to study how tolerable and effective it would be to increase the intensity of chest radiation for small cell lung cancer patients by increasing the daily radiation dose. We aim to find the highest dose of chest radiotherapy that can be safely given with chemotherapy using this strategy. Patients in this trial will be monitored before, during and after their radiation and chemotherapy treatments for treatment side-effects, how effective treatments are at controlling their cancer and quality of life changes. Results from this trial will help to define more effective radiotherapy doses which are tolerable for this type of lung cancer and the quality of life changes patients experience when they undergo these treatments.
To study changes in tumor and normal organ size and/or position which occur during a course of radiation treatments.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of sorafenib up to the full active dose when combined with standard weekly dosing of topotecan in patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer and to characterize the toxicities associated with the combination of topotecan and sorafenib in this patient population
This clinical trial studies glycoprotein and glycan in tissue and blood samples of patients with stage IB-IVA cervical cancer undergoing surgery to remove pelvic and abdominal lymph nodes. Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors learn how far the disease has spread.
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of sunitinib malate and to see how well it works when given together with cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide are more effective when given with or without sunitinib malate in treating small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of pemetrexed, cisplatin and radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer.
The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as measured by objective response rate 2. To evaluate the safety of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive SCLC The secondary objectives are: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive SCLC as measured by duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival 2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of glufosfamide and isophosphoramide mustard (IPM) The exploratory objectives of this trial are: 1. To evaluate the effect of glufosfamide on lung cancer symptoms 2. To evaluate the role of tumor cell glucose transporter expression on the efficacy of glufosfamide
This phase I/II trial is studying how well fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET scan, CT scan, and ferumoxtran-10 MRI scan finds lymph node metastasis before undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer or high-risk endometrial cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as a fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (PET) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, and ferumoxtran-10 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, may help find lymph node metastasis in patients with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer.
Open label, uncontrolled Phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of BI 2536 in second line treatment in sensitive-relapse SCLC patients.
