Filter by:A study for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in patients previously treated with chemotherapy.
The general objective of this study is to improve the Quality of Life (QoL) of selected patients with advanced carcinoma of the lung. The specific objective is to evaluate the effect of treatment with epoetin alfa (recombinant human erythropoietin) on anemia related QoL and anemia in non-small cell lung cancer patients with advanced stage disease and underlying anemia of malignancy.
- Primary : To determine the safety profile of each treatment group. - Secondary : To determine efficacy in term of overall response, disease free survival and survival at 1 and 2 years.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of the "LIFE-Lung Bronchoscopy" to identify early changes in lung tissues that show precancerous, cancer in situ (just beginning and not spread) and microscopic invasive cancer lesions versus the ability of the standard "White Light Bronchoscopy" to identify the same. This will be done as a part of routine monitoring bronchoscopy. Patients who have had a surgical resection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and with no current evidence of disease (NED) will be eligible. Also eligible are patients who have had head or neck squamous cell carcinoma with radical head and/or neck dissection and who are currently NED. Patients with severe chronic, obstructive, pulmonary disease shown by pulmonary function testing abnormalities will also be eligible. In addition to the specialized bronchoscopy, doctors will be investigating the use of imaging spectroscopy. This is using an optical (visualizing) procedure to measure the light reflected back from tissue. Different lesions and normal tissues reflect light differently and in specific color wavelengths. By using measurements over time (different examinations/bronchoscopies) very small changes can be seen. This may allow eventually for very early diagnosing of precancerous or cancer in situ lesions, allowing for earlier treatment.
This is a randomized, open label, parallel group, multi-centre, phase II study of progression free survival, comparing oral ZD1839 (IRESSA™) (250 mg tablet once daily) to vinorelbine 30 mg/m2 infusion on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle) in chemonaïve, elderly patients with locally advanced (stage IIIB) or metastatic (stage IV) non-small cell lung cancer.
The primary objective of the trial is to determine the Maximum tolerated dose, if any, of the combination of daily ZD1839 250 mg with carboplatin AUC 2 and 60 Gray (Gy) irradiation and up to 45 mg/m2 paclitaxel.
To assess the objective response rates (by RECIST) to ZD6474 100, 200 and 300 mg/day respectively
This study is to examine the effects on tumors of AZD2171, in the treatment of NSCLC or HNC. The safety and tolerability of AZD2171 will also be studied.
The aim of the study if to determine if Iressa can prolong the period of time without any disease worsening (Time to progression) in patients previously treated with combined therapy such as surgery and chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy or chemotherapy and radiotherapy
The primary objective of this study is to assess the response rate of treatment with two cycles of cisplatin and docetaxel chemotherapy prior to surgery (neoadjuvant) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Secondary objectives of this study include assessment of radiographic response rate by computed tomography (CT) scanning, overall survival, time to progression, rate of complete surgical removal, and adverse reactions. In addition, this study will test whether positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can predict a tumor response. Patients who have a response to chemotherapy may receive 2 additional cycles after recovering from surgery.
