Filter by:Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are exquisitely sensitive to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) which is widely used in advanced patients. Whether treatment with EGFR-TKIs improves outcomes in patients with resected NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations is still under investigated. This study aims to observe and compare the efficacy and safety of intercalated combination of chemotherapy plus icotinib in patients undergoing resection of EGRF mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer stagingⅠB (with high risk factor) to ⅢA.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 100mg erlotinib had similar effect compared with 150mg erlotinib in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation in China.
The investigators will collect fibrocytes (CD45+Col-1+) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigators hypothesize that patients with NSCLC experience expansion of immunosuppressive fibrocytes, which are predicted to augment tumor growth by mediating immune escape in NSCLC patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose escalation of Icotinib in advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after the therapy of Icotinib, Iressa and Tarceva.
Advanced lung cancer (non-small cell lung cancer) with a mutation in the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene, which have disease progression after treatment with an EGFR inhibitor (erlotinib or gefitinib), and have progression of disease also after treatment with chemotherapy will be recruited. The trial has only one arm, of afatinib daily treatment. Blood and exhaled breath samples will be collected for investigations aiming to identify factors that predict response to afatinib.
To find the optimal dose of afatinib and nimotuzumab in patients who acquired resistance to gefitinib or erlotinib.
Cisplatinum and pemetrexed (ALIMTA®) has become an effective first-line regimen for advanced and inoperable non-squamous NSCLC without somatic activating mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In the standard regimen the cisplatinum dose is 75 mg/m2 on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Due to the high platinum-dose patients do need a strict hyperhydration and often have to be hospitalized for survey. Split-dose cisplatinum with two administrations on Day 1 and 8 of a 21-day-cycle has already been administered in other platin-containing chemotherapy regimens (cis/gem cis/nav cis/paclitaxel cis/docetaxel) with favourable toxicity profiles and generally with an excellent patient compliance.
The primary purposes of this study are to assess the safety and efficacy of using high doses of the drug Icotinib (Conmana) as a way to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer that achieve stable disease after 8 weeks routine therapy.
Neutropenia is one of the most frequent adverse effects of chemotherapy, and the main factor to limit the dosage and the continuation of chemotherapy. A newly pegylated rhG-CSF was independently developed by JIANGSU HENGRUI Medicine Co., Ltd, China. Phase 1a, 1b and phase 2 trials have shown that pegylated rhG-CSF has decreased renal clearance, increased plasma half-life, and prolonged efficacy in compare with filgrastim. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of pegylated rhG-CSF in preventing neutropenia following chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.
The feeling of shortness of breath is very common in lung cancer. It is uncomfortable for patients and upsetting for their family. Although drugs like morphine and oxygen can help some patients feel better, they don't help everybody, and they are not used in patients with early symptoms. More relief is needed for these patients. The investigators are studying a drug called tiotropium, which is used in emphysema. It is an inhaler that opens the airways to allow easier breathing. Every patient will get the drug but also a placebo, in a random (flip of a coin) order. They will get each for 2 weeks. The investigators will see if they feel better with the drug.
