Filter by:One of the most widely used treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the combination of paclitaxel-cisplatin. These drugs may contribute to taste alterations like dysgeusia. Which alters the feeding of cancer patients, contributing to the anorexia, weight loss and malnutrition, which leads to a prognostic impact in a lower patient response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgical treatment as well as increased toxic effects, impacting treatment discontinuation and therefore, morbidity and survival of patients. The objective of this study is to describe the threshold of perception and recognition of basic tastes in patients with NSCLC before treatment with platin and paclitaxel-based chemotherapy and after the second cycle, and analyze the effect in the developement of dysgeusia, as well as the association between these and the nutritional status and quality of life.
This study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetics of continuous Endostar intravenous infusion combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin in advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival of patients receiving E7080 + Best Supportive Care (BSC) with those receiving placebo + Best Supportive Care.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has become an important target for cancer therapy, and the small molecular tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have played an important role in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). What accompanies with the encouraging efficacy in NSCLC is the common side effects, of which the most common one is the specific papular and pustular acne-like rash which affects mainly the face, scalp, and upper torso. But till now, no medicament has been proved effective enough to treat or prevent the EGFR-TKIs associated rash. The EVOZAC® Calming Skin Spray has shown acceptable activity at the rash prevention in our preliminary study, so the investigators conduct the randomized, double-blind, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EVOZAC® Calming Skin Spray in prevention of EGFR-TKIs associated rash in NSCLC.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the evolution of patients receiving first line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic lung cancer, taking into account if they were requested or not the EGFR mutation test as part of the diagnosis and treatment strategy. There is no assignment to any particular therapeutic strategy.
With roughly 80% of cancer patients receiving their oncology care in the community setting, the investigators are proposing to sample from a community-based center to evaluate the percentage of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-wild type patients that gain benefit from erlotinib and assess the clinical characteristics that are associated with erlotinib-responders. Additionally, biopsy specimens from enrolled patient cases that are EGFR-wt will be evaluated via exploratory genetic analysis for correlated markers.
This research is being conducted to determine the biodistribution of radiolabeled amatuximab in tumor and non-tumor tissues in subjects with mesothelin over expressing cancer including mesothelioma, pancreatic, ovarian or non small cell lung cancer.
This study is a Phase 1 and pharmacologic open-labeled dose-escalation trial using a "3+3" design, evaluating MM-151 at varying dose levels and frequencies, and subsequently in combination with irinotecan.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Icotinib at different dose levels in combination with whole brain radiotherapy for NSCLC patients with brain metastases and EGFR mutation.
This is a study of gefitinib plus olaparib gefitinib in combination with olaparib (AZD2281) versus gefitinib alone, in patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation positive advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
