Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of entinostat in combination with erlotinib in the treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
To determine if the addition of AG-013736 to chemotherapy is beneficial in patients with advanced lung cancer who have not been previously treated.
The main purpose of this research study is to see if adding fulvestrant (Faslodex) to erlotinib (Tarceva) is effective in patients with stage IIIb/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid; NSC 701852) is a drug that inhibits an enzyme that plays a key role in the regulation of cell survival, growth, and eventual cell death, all of which play a role in cancer. As a result, this drug has the potential to affect a tumor's ability to survive. Vorinostat is the most potent drug of its kind that is currently under investigation in clinical trials. The primary objective of this study is to define the maximum safest dose of vorinostat in combination with a standard chemotherapy agent, docetaxel, in patients with advanced and relapsed lung, bladder, or prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare disease response of Albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABI-007) plus Carboplatin versus Taxol and Carboplatin as first-line therapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of this study is to test the combination of an experimental drug known as MGCD0103 given along with an FDA-approved drug called docetaxel. This is a Phase 1 study that will look at different doses of MGCD0103 given along with docetaxel in order to better understand the effects (positive and negative) of this combination on the subject's body and disease. The study would like to find the following information: - How long MGCD0103 and docetaxel stay in the subject's body; - What effects, good and/or bad, MGCD0103 and docetaxel have on the subject and on his/her cancer; and - If the genetic and chemical make-up of the subject's blood cells and tumor cells play a role in how you respond or do not respond to MGCD0103 and docetaxel.
This is a single site phase I dose escalation trial of the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor Erlotinib with the SRC tyrosine kinase inhibitor Dasatinib in patients with previously treated advanced stage (Stage IIIB/IV disease) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The treatment regimen consists of Erlotinib tablets starting Day 1 and Dasatinib tablets starting Day 9 for a 28-day cycle. If there are no Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), dose escalation continues. The recommended phase II dose for this combined treatment will be defined and patients will be treated at the recommended phase II dose to confirm tolerability.
This study is being carried out to assess if adding ZD6474 to best supportive care (BSC) is more effective than best supportive care alone, for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whose disease has recurred after previous chemotherapy and an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (EGFR TKI). ZD6474 is a new anti-cancer drug in development that works in a different way to standard chemotherapy drugs. It targets the growth of new blood vessels to a tumour and thereby might slow the rate at which the tumour may grow. Early studies indicate that ZD6474 has a positive effect on the time that a tumour may take to progress to a further stage. Approximately 930 patients will take part in this study. It will be conducted in hospitals and clinics in North and South America, Europe and Asia.
This non-randomized Phase I/II study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of thoracic radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin and docetaxel in patients with LA-NSCLC. All patients will receive weekly administrations of docetaxel 20 mg/m² and cisplatin 20 mg/m2 concurrently with radiotherapy. Radiotherapy will be delivered using helical tomotherapy in 30 daily fractions over six weeks. Patients should have recovered fully from induction concurrent chemoradiotherapy before they continue with the consolidation chemotherapy phase. Patients will be entered in cohorts of at least 5 subjects. The first cohort of patients will receive 30 fractions of 2Gy in six weeks up to a total dose of 60Gy. The concurrent chemotherapy starts at day 1 of the radiotherapy and will be administered 2-4 hours before the radiotherapy. The radiotherapy fraction size will be escalated to 2.36Gy in three steps.
The goals of this study are: - to determine if the combination of two drugs, motexafin gadolinium and pemetrexed, may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had one previous chemotherapy regimen that included a platinum containing drug such as cisplatin or carboplatin. - to assess response to treatment in patients with NSCLC six months after beginning study treatment.
