Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether lucitanib is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced/metastatic lung cancer and fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF), or platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) related genetic alterations.
This is a single arm phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intercalated combination of doublet chemotherapy of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and erlotinib on patients with advanced stage non-small-cell lung cancer with low abundant activating EGFR mutation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TH-302 in combination with pemetrexed is safe and effective in the treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
This study is to determine the use of theophylline in patients with NSCLC and advanced solid malignancies and whether treatment with theophylline will help lower or diminish the side effect of diarrhea in patients taking erlotinib. Patients will be enrolled in one of two parts of the study to verify the lowest dose of theophylline that is effective and the highest dose of erlotinib that can be tolerated with theophylline. If this study shows that theophylline is able to inhibit erlotinib induced diarrhea, it will help demonstrate that patients using the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs), erlotinib, can use it effectively at higher doses without experiencing severe diarrhea.
The goals of this clinical research are to evaluate the outcomes and tumor response for early stage non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) using four dimensional (4D) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT), Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Real-Time Position Management (RPM™) and body immobilization system (see figure 1). Specifically, the effect of image-guided SBRT treatment on clinical tumor response rate, local control and progression-free survival will be studied. This study will examine target volumes and relevant margins determined by an assessment using 4D PET and repeated 4D CT. These data will allow us to evaluate and determine the impact of the body immobilization system on the planning target volume (PTV) margins, patient's breathing pattern, target motion, and inter-treatment targets shifts.
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of hormone therapies (androgen pathway modification) on the outcomes of patients with lung cancer. This information may be of benefit for future treatment strategies, prevention and control. In this study, the protein where testosterone binds, called the androgen receptor (AR), will be measured in samples from the patient's biopsy and surgical tumor samples. The investigators will look at a marker of how fast the cancer is growing (Ki67) before using finasteride from your biopsy specimen. Finasteride will be taken from the day of consent until the day of the patient's surgery. This marker will be measured again after using finasteride from the surgical specimen. The investigators will be looking for a decrease in the Ki67 from the patient's biopsy specimen to the surgical specimen as an indicator that this medication is blocking tumour growth.
It is the hypothesis of this protocol that a subset of NSCLC patients with stage IVa disease can benefit from curative therapy and extends beyond the very limited subset of oligometastatic patients that have already been studied.
The study objective is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally administered PLX8394 in patients with advanced solid tumors. An additional objective is to identify a Recommended Phase 2 (RP2D) for further evaluation in the Extension Cohorts (Phase IIa portion). The study objective of the Extension Cohorts (PART 2 portion) is to assess the objective tumor response and the PK, PD, and safety of PLX8394 when the RP2D is used in patients with advanced BRAF-mutated cancers.
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer, but carries a risk of radiation pneumonitis of approximately 30%, and is associated with a decline in pulmonary quality of life. Standard radiation planning aims to optimize dose to the anatomic lung volume, without consideration of the differences in regional lung function. Functional lung avoidance radiotherapy aims to reduce radiotherapy dose to regions of functioning lung, instead depositing dose in areas of lung that are not well-ventilated. Functional lung regions are determined using noble-gas MRI and co-registered to the radiotherapy planning CT scans. Functional lung avoidance radiotherapy has been demonstrated to be feasible, and this trial aims to compare outcomes between standard radiotherapy (with concurrent chemotherapy) vs. functional lung avoidance radiotherapy (with concurrent chemotherapy).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether metformin is effective in lowering plasma IL-6 level and improving the treatment response in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
