Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of cancer treatment on the brain. Some cancer patients report changes in their memory or thinking after treatment. These changes could be a result of changes in brain structure, such as a change in size or thickness of different parts of the brain. The investigators will look to see if these changes in brain structure happen through the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators will do this by looking at the brain structure of lung cancer patients who have surgery and chemotherapy versus those who have surgery only.
This phase II trial will evaluate phyto-therapy's, in the form of blueberry powder, synergistic effect on second-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The proposition is that the addition of blueberry polyphenolics to routine docetaxel therapy will have a significant, positive effect in the response rate and overall survival.
This is an open-label, common follow-up trial. Subjects who were enrolled in a Merck KGaA, EMD Serono or Merck Serono Japan sponsored trial with Tecemotide (L-BLP25) can be enrolled in this follow-up trial to continue their maintenance treatment with Tecemotide (L-BLP25). Subjects will be transferred once all feeder trial objectives have been met. Subjects who received Tecemotide (L-BLP25) in a feeder trial will continue Tecemotide (L-BLP25) treatment in this follow-up trial and have safety assessments performed as well as be observed for progressive disease and survival in 6- month intervals. Subjects who had not received Tecemotide (L-BLP25) in feeder trials, or discontinued treatment will only be observed for progressive disease and survival in 6-month intervals and will not be provided treatment with Tecemotide (L-BLP25).
Vitamin D exerts antiproliferative and differentiating effects in cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The active form of Vitamin D is 1,25, dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) which rapidly induces expression of cytochrome P450 24R-hydroxylase (CYP24A1). CYP24A1 initiates inactivation of calcitriol as a result of successive hydroxylation/oxidation reactions. This study seeks to prospectively determine the relationship between Vitamin D gene expression and median survival as a primary outcome, and between the Vitamin D receptor (VDR)/CYP24A1 gene expression and cancer stage, smoking status, serum 1,25 (OH)2D3 levels as well as CYP24A1 genotype.
Pazopanib is a new cancer drug that works by limiting the growth of new blood vessels in tumours. About half of patients who take pazopanib develop high blood pressure (hypertension). This side effect can make patients have to reduce or stop their cancer treatment, and can cause other health problems. The aim of this study is to find out exactly how the drug causes high blood pressure.
Study objectives Primary: To compare toxicity free survival of patients treated with ALC (acetylcarnitine) plus cisplatin-containing chemotherapy (CHT) versus those treated with placebo plus cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. Secondary: To compare progression free survival, overall survival, the compliance to treatment, the number of episodes of grade 3-4 National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0, neurotoxicity, as well as the proportion of patients experiencing grade 2-3-4 National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, neuropathic pain intensity, the clinical signs and/or symptoms (such as burning, numbness, itching, etc.) of the sensorial neuropathy between the two treatment arms. Study design Multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III, superiority study in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer). Patients to be screened for study inclusion are those for which the decision to start a cisplatin-containing treatment has been already taken in the context of the clinical practice. The type of cisplatin-based treatment is not fixed, but each single investigator is free to choose for each single patient among those already approved for first line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized with a 1 : 1 ratio to receive ALC + cisplatin-containing CHT or Placebo + cisplatin-containing CHT until patient refusal, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death. The study will be conducted in Italy in approximately 20 investigational centers in order to recruit 650-675 subjects over a 30-month period. Both efficacy and safety data will be collected. Follow-up will be according to the clinical practice. Data capture will continue, for each patient, until death or study closure.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if the combination regimen of ARQ 197 with erlotinib will improve overall survival (OS) compared to erlotinib monotherapy in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with wild-type EGFR who have received 1 or 2 prior systemic anti-cancer therapies in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population.
The study aims at piloting the concept of customization of chemotherapy based on molecular markers in patients with stage IIIB (with pleural effusion) and IV with performance status ≤ 2 with pathologically proven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will not test or compare individual regimen but rather it will test the approach of customization concept as a whole. The results of this pilot study will help in designing more definitive trials in our patient population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose, antitumor activity, safety and pharmacology of MEDI-575 in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in subjects with previously untreated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
In this research study the investigators are looking for the highest dose of a stereotactic radiation boost that can be given safely. Because stereotactic radiation is so precise, the investigators are testing whether it can be used to increase the dose to the primary tumor without significantly increasing the side effects the participant experiences; the goal is to improve the likelihood of killing the tumor.
