Filter by:Apatinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and it's anti-angiogenesis effect has been viewed in preclinical tests. Phase I study has shown that the drug's toxicity is manageable and the maximum tolerable daily dose is 850 mg. The purpose of this study is to determine whether apatinib can improve progression free survival compared with placebo in patients with advanced non-squamous and non-small cell lung cancer who failed two lines of chemotherapy.
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate progression free survival (PFS) improvement for ombrabulin compared to placebo, in combination with taxane and platinum, as first line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Secondary Objective: - To determine overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, safety, and evaluate potential biomarkers, pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of ombrabulin and its main metabolite, RPR258063, using a population approach.
This is an observational study to evaluate the feasibility of the implementation of a personalized treatment strategy based on specific tumor marker (f.i. EGFR-mutation) in the routine clinical care setting in the Antwerp region (Belgium).
Hsp90 inhibitor AUY922 and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of Hsp90 inhibitor AUY922 when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer.
This is a phase III randomized multicenter study involving subjects over 70 years of age with non small-cell lung cancer of IV and a PS of 0, 1 or 2, who have not previously received chemotherapy. The aim is to validate the use of a simplified geriatric scale (SGS) as a screening tool. If the SGS results are normal, the patient will be treated with dual-agent therapy based on platinum (carboplatin + pemetrexed if the histology is non epidermoid, carboplatin + gemcitabin if the histology is epidermoid), with no further geriatric assessment. When the SGS reveals abnormalities, a comprehensive geriatric evaluation (CGE) will be used to define two subpopulations on Balducci's fragility scale, who will receive either monotherapy (docetaxel) or best supportive care. The strategy based on the SGS will be compared with a treatment algorithm based on standard criteria (PS and age), with no specific geriatric assessment. The main endpoint is the time to treatment failure. The SGS is composed of the Charlson co-morbidity scale, functional assessment based on PS, Katz' ADL scale, Lawton's simplified IADL scale, simplified cognitive assessment with the mini-MMSE according to Schultz-Larsen, a geriatric depression scale (GDS 5), and screening for a geriatric syndrome defined by the existence of dementia, repeated falls, and urinary and fecal incontinence. The SGS will be validated by comparison with the CGE, that will be administered systematically at enrollment. All the SGS items are included in the CGE. Secondary endpoints will be quality of life (measured with the LCSS and EuroQoL questionnaires), overall survival, the objective response rate, and toxicity. The investigators will also study the predictive power of nutritional indices such as the PINI and the Buzby score with respect to survival, the treatment response, and tolerability.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Korea as well as in other countries. About 80% of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). The majority of patients with NSCLC require cytotoxic chemotherapy in the course of their illness. Combination chemotherapy using third generation anticancer drugs (paclitaxel, docetaxel, gemcitabine) with platinums(cisplatin or carboplatin) reached a plateau in their efficacy. Oxaliplatin, another platinum being used for colorectal, gastric and pancreatic cancer has lower adverse effects such as nausea and nephrotoxicity. In this phase II trial, we will observe efficacy and safety of docetaxel and oxaliplatin for patients with NSCLC.
The purpose of this study is to examine the overall survival of patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with ISIS EIF4E Rx in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel.
This open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tarceva (erlotinib) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have completed 4 cycles of standard platinum-based chemotherapy without progression. Patients will receive Tarceva at a dose of 150 mg orally daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of linifanib, and identify tolerable dose of linifanib (ABT-869) in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in Japanese subjects with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Secondary objective is to obtain a preliminary efficacy of anti-tumor activity in the subjects as first-line treatment.
The study compares two combinations of chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC: 50% of the patients are treated with cisplatin and docetaxel, the other 50% with oxaliplatin and docetaxel. cisplatin is today the standard therapy, but the toxicity profile is often not tolerable. Especially in elderly patients or patients with comorbidities, oxaliplatin based chemotherapy may have lower toxicities but comparable or even better response rates.
