Filter by:A phase II study of combination therapy of carboplatin -gemcitabine plus bevacizumab beyond progression in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior chemotherapy.
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomised, phase III study of 2 cycles of oral vinorelbine in combination with cisplatin concurrently with radiotherapy randomised to either two more cycles of consolidation therapy with oral vinorelbine and cisplatin plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) or BSC alone in patients with unresectable locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective is to compare progression-free survival in both arms, the secondary is to evaluate the response rate, overall survival in both arms, to evaluate the safety profile in both arms and to assess quality of life by the LCSS questionnaire.
This is a consolidation therapy trial evaluating GI-4000 in subjects with NSCLC treated with curative intent who are disease free at their first post-treatment restaging assessment.
The use of induction chemotherapy is feasible and effective. It is also logistically beneficial for decreasing micrometastases and radiation-related toxicity by decreasing tumor burden before definite locoregional concurrent therapy. Previously the investigators conducted several phase II study of IP chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC and demonstrated that IP chemotherapy has a promising activity and readily manageable toxicity profile. Given the encouraging activity of IP chemotherapy in the advanced stage setting, the investigators postulated that their further investigation in the stage III setting might lead to further prolongation of survival times. In addition to cisplatin, Irinotecan has been demonstrated to act as radiation sensitizers in preclinical and clinical setting. Therefore, their use with concurrent radiotherapy might lead to radiation sensitization and improved locoregional control.
This study is designed to test whether CT-2103/carboplatin provides improved overall survival compared to paclitaxel/carboplatin in women with NSCLC who have estradiol levels >30 pg/ml.
The objective of the study is to investigate the evolution ofn 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and the tumour characteristics determined in the plasma of patients with lung cancer of during and after concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy
This is a randomized, open-label, parallel group, phase III, multicenter, regional study. The total number of patients expected to be exposed to study procedures is approximately 150 patients will be recruited by investigational sites throughout the Asia Pacific region that have expertise in treating patients with NSCLC.
The last ASCO recommendations in 2003 for the treatment of a CBNPC of stage IIIB/IV of elderly people, are to manage a monochemotherapy. Paclitaxel in association with carboplatin is feasible in elderly patients and the retrospective analysis of two studies of the comparing SWOG, one this association with that of cisplatine and vinorelbine and the other cisplatine only with cisplatine and vinorelbine, showed among 117 the 70 years old patients and more, the absence of significant difference of survival and toxicity compared to the younger patients. The study recently published of Lilenbaum and Al shows that among patients with bad PS, association carboplatine and paclitaxel do better than the paclitaxel only. The paclitaxel managed in weekly form is likely of a better activity by exposing the cancerous cells in a repeated way with shorter intervals without allowing the emergence of resistant clones and by allowing an increase in the intensity of amount. This mode of administration appeared at the same time effective and tolerated very well among patients of more than 70 years. The weekly association of carboplatin and paclitaxel was tested in phase II and showed a rate of response of 14% and one survival 1 year from 31% a randomized test (not dedicated to the old person) of phase II to 3 arms was led by Belani et al.. The best combination of carboplatine + paclitaxel weekly proved to be that associating paclitaxel 100mg/m² 3 weeks out of 4 and carboplatine AUC 6 in J1 with J1 = J29. A test of phase II dedicated the 70 years old to patients and more was carried out in France taking again this association carboplatine (AUC 6) every 4 weeks and paclitaxel weekly (90 mg/m² J1, J8 and J15). This test having included 51 patients highlighted a median of 10,42 months survival (IC 95%: 7,29-17,05)
To determine the efficacy of ABT-751 when administered in combination with standard pemetrexed in subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The Phase 1 portion of the study is complete and the study is currently enrolling subjects in Phase 2.
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 1 study of escalating doses of Tarceva in patients with advanced NSCLC who currently smoke. Part I will establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Tarceva in current smokers. In Part II, patients will be randomized 1:1 to two treatment groups: Arm A (Tarceva MTD established in Part I) and Arm B (150 mg Tarceva daily). Patients in both arms will be treated for two weeks and then have pharmacokinetic samples collected on day 14. Part II is open as of Nov-2006.
