Filter by:The poor prognosis in the early-stage of lung cancer is due to potential worsening of the disease (local relapse, metastasis), to insufficient efficacy and toxicity of actual treatments. FDG-PET is a medical imaging modality allowing the quantification of the tumour glucose consumption. Then, this exam is used for pathology staging, target volume definition for RT, and treatment efficiency few months after RT or CRT. Our assumption is that an FDG-PET exam during the course of the RT or CRT might be predictive of the treatment efficiency few months later. In this study, the investigators propose to perform 4 FDG-PET: first "PET1" before radiotherapy, second "PET2" during the radiotherapy (see RTEP1), third and fourth "PET3" "PET4" 3month and 12 month after the therapy. The investigators will investigate the performances of FDG-PET performed during the RT or CRT for the prediction of the one-year patient heath outcome. If the predictive value of TEP2 is confirmed, the investigators would be able to optimize the planning treatment during the course of the therapy.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study of Erlotinib (Tarceva®) in combination with OSI-906 in Patients with Advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Activating Mutations of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Gene who are Chemonaive.
Title: IDO peptid vaccination in combination with immune stimulating agent Aldara and the adjuvant Montanide, for treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non small-cell lung cancer. A first-in-man phase I trial. Hypothesis: In this trial the investigators assess a new immunotherapeutic strategy targeting the immune inhibiting enzyme, IDO to investigate the potential of vaccination against IDO as a possible anticancer target.
Background: - Carboplatin-paclitaxel is a commonly used chemotherapy combination for advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. In a randomized clinical trial, the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and the additional chemotherapy drug bevacizumab had a better response rate and survival compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone. However, this trial treated only patients with a specific diagnosis and treatment risks. Further research is needed to determine whether this combination is useful for other diagnoses. - YM155 is a drug that targets a type of chemical often found in cancer cells. It has been investigated in several phase I and phase II clinical trials, and it has been shown to be well tolerated and moderately effective in treating advanced NSCLC in patients who had not responded well to one or two standard treatments. Objectives: - To determine the efficacy of the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and YM155 in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma or other solid tumors for which standard therapy is not likely to be effective. Design: - Before the start of the study, participants will be screened with a medical history, blood tests, imaging scans of the affected areas, tumor biopsies, and other tests as directed by the study doctors. - Participants will be treated for six 21-day cycles, or 18 weeks of treatment. Each cycle will include blood tests and imaging studies as required. - On day 1 of each cycle, participants will receive an infusion of paclitaxel and carboplatin, followed by a 4-day infusion of YM155 (through a portable electronic infusion pump). - Participants will have a computed tomography scan or other imaging every other cycle (approximately every 6 weeks) to determine whether the therapy is affecting the cancer site. - After the sixth cycle, participants will return for follow-up visits at least every 3 months, and will be asked to remain in contact with the researchers to allow further study of the long-term effects of the treatment.
The Phase 2 study described in this protocol will serve to evaluate the antitumor activity, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Imprime PGG when combined with cetuximab and concomitant paclitaxel and carboplatin therapy in patients with previously untreated advanced NSCLC. Additionally, this study will provide guidance for the design of more definitive efficacy studies of Imprime PGG in NSCLC patients.
The purpose of this study is to asses the safety and efficacy of ALD518 in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer-Related Fatigue and cachexia (weight-loss).
To provide accurate and reliable information regarding NSCLC clinical management across European countries in order to detect unmet medical needs of this disease in terms of: patient and hospital characteristics; diagnostic and treatment approaches: initial and subsequent, follow-up patterns in clinical management; outcomes: symptoms, death, functionality, quality of life; use of resources and burden on patients and health care systems.
This study is multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase II study comparing vandetanib (300mg daily) plus best supportive care (BSC) to placebo plus BSC as maintenance treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, who have received and responded to prior platinum-doublet systemic chemotherapy. The primary objective of the study is to compare the Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate at 3 months in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with or without vandetanib maintenance.
An open-label phase I-II trial will be performed in 42 patients with pretreated locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The trial is designed to estimate the efficacy and to determine safety of NovoTTF-100L treatment combined with Pemetrexed for advanced NSCLC patients. Patients will receive standard Pemetrexed therapy (at 500 mg/m2 iv q3w for 3 cycles) concomitant to NovoTTF-100L therapy (12 hours a day, daily until the end of all three cycles of Alimta). Repeat treatments with Alimta + NovoTTF-100L will be offered as long as the patient is stable or responding. If there is a in-field response with progression outside of the NovoTTF field, Pemetrexed is to be stopped and third line chemotherapy with Docetaxel is to be initiated (35 mg/m2 weekly, d1, 8, 15, q 28 d).
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.
