Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cancer vaccine tecemotide (L-BLP25) in addition to best supportive care is effective in prolonging the lives of subjects with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, compared to best supportive care alone. A local ancillary (sub) study in European centers will evaluate the immune response in peripheral blood after tecemotide (L-BLP25) or placebo vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy followed sequentially by gefitinib versus chemotherapy alone in the first line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study will be conducted in Asian patients who are classified as 'never smoker' since it is suggested that these patients are more likely to respond favorably to treatment with gefitinib.
To determine the toxicities, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose of MKC-1 when administered orally, twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days without dosing, in combination with pemetrexed (delivered at its recommended single agent dose) to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. Also, to determine the antitumor activity, based on the objective response rate and median Progression Free Survival ("PFS"), of oral MKC-1, administered on this schedule in combination with pemetrexed to patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
This is a two-arm, parallel, open-label, Phase 2 multicenter study of pemetrexed as first line combination therapy with either cisplatin or carboplatin in the palliative setting of stage IIIb and IV non-small cell lung cancer patients. Approximately 130 patients will be included in about 15 centers in Germany and randomized to one of the above treatment regimens in a 1:1 ratio. Chemotherapy will be administered over a maximum of six cycles with a standard length of 21 days. Primary objective will be the Progression Free Survival Time of patients as assessed in both treatment arms.
The main purpose of this study is to describe activity and toxicity of single-agent gemcitabine given as prolonged infusion, and of two 2-drug combinations containing cisplatin (cisplatin + vinorelbine, and cisplatin + gemcitabine) in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer
This is a study of the drug perifosine that consists of 2 parts. The first part of this study was designed to determine the highest dose of perifosine that can be administered to people every week without severe or prolonged nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. This study started with patients taking 900 mg/week and went up to 1800 mg/week. Part I of this study is completed. The MTD had been determined and incorporated in Part II. The goals in Part II are to: 1. Compare the gastrointestinal toxicity of 3 different dose-schedules and 2. Obtain preliminary information on the response rate of perifosine in non-small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity of pemetrexed and docetaxel administered on a 3-weekly schedule in the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had prior chemotherapy.
To improve the clinical outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with radiation therapy.
This is an observational study designed to follow patients with metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable CRC or locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (excluding predominant squamous histology) who are receiving Avastin in combination with first-line chemotherapy. Second-line metastatic CRC patients are also eligible. Patients who started their Avastin containing therapy <4 months prior to enrollment are eligible.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and toxicity of pemetrexed dosing that is tailored to individual patient tolerance in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
