Filter by:Aprepitant is an oral neurokinin-1(NK-1) antagonist which is used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This phase II clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of aprepitant in the prevention of CINV with lung cancer patients receiving 3-day cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to compare effects of erlotinib and pemetrexed as maintenance therapy for lung adenocarcinoma. Primary Outcome is the progression free survival (PFS). Based on prediction of different potential benefit groups, this study may help the oncologist to optimize and improve the maintenance therapy plan for lung adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the costs, health-related quality of life and preference values from lung cancer patients assisted in a Brazilian public health care unit.
Endostar is a anti-angiogenesis product and has been launched in China . The efficacy and safety have been defined. However, the compliance is unsatisfactory since routine i.v of Endostar is needed for 3 to 4 hours daily during one cycle of 14 days. The continuous intravenous infusion by using venous pump can improve the compliance.The comparative study in efficacy and safety has not been done concerning continuous and routine i.v.In addition, what patient can be benefited from Endostar have not been investigated. The biological markers, such as circulating endothelial cells，CECs, will be explored in the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate S1 capsule plus Cisplatin as adjuvant treatment in stageⅡ and Ⅲa non-small cell lung cancer. It is the first study in the world to investigate the safety and efficacy of S1 capsule using in stageⅡ and Ⅲa non-small cell lung cancer patients after the complete resection.
The purpose of this study is to observe quality of life and treatment side effects in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receive chemotherapy and Yangzhengxiaoji capsule.
To date, there are no methods to reliably select which patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that benefit most from treatment with bevacizumab. Data have shown that high levels of plasma VEGF are prognostic and correlates with a worse disease outcome in some tumour types, including advanced NSCLC. Recent data are suggestive of a predictive value of imaging techniques for early detection of antiangiogenic treatment efficacy in different cancers. To our knowledge there are no presented data available on correlation between changes in diffusion-weighted MR and response to bevacizumab treatment in lung cancer. The current study is designed as a pilot study to prospectively investigate changes in MR variables during treatment with bevacizumab and to detect signals of prognostic and/or predictive value of MR changes during treatment.
1. There is as yet no optimal treatment regimen for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene wild type non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) . 2. Icotinib is a new type of small molecule EGFR TKI, developed and patented by Zhejiang BetaPharma Co., Ltd.(Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, Patent No. WO2003082830). It has the similar anti-tumor activity with gefitinib, erlotinib. Pre-clinical studies showed icotinib could significantly inhibit the EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. Notably, anti-tumor activities were observed in patients with advanced NSCLC. 3. In this study, we will evaluate the efficiency of intermittent high dose of Icotinib in combination with Docetaxel as second-line treatment for NSCLC patients with wild type EGFR. The overall response rate(ORR),progression free survival(PFS) ,overall survival(OS) and health related quality of life(HRQoL) will be monitored.
Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer receive six cycles of chemotherapy(etoposide plus platinum) as first-line treatment,who achieve Complete Response(CR)/Partial Response(PR) will accept small doses of etoposide as maintenance treatment. The objective of this study is to evaluate the progression free survival,overall survival,objective response rate,disease control rate and safety of etoposide as maintenance therapy. Based on previous studies on maintenance therapy in small cell lung cancer,the hypothesis of this study is maintenance therapy using etoposide may improve progression free survival,overall survival for selected patients. The investigators will use the peripheral blood to assess circulating tumor cell and cell-free DNA,which may help us to screen a subgroup of patients with better response to etoposide maintenance therapy.
Brain metastasis (BM) is among the most feared complications in cancer because even small tumors may cause incapacitating neurologic symptoms. It is observed in more than 50% of patients with lung cancer and 15% to 25% of patients with breast cancer. Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent that crosses blood-brain barrier (BBB). This pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) plus concomitant TMZ in lung cancer and breast cancer patients with BM.
