Filter by:The Investigators are looking to compare standard treatment for the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) which is prophylactic cranial Irradiation (PCI) (shown to be very good in patient survival) with cranial sparing PCI. Although standard of care PCI is successful in patient survival it also has neurologic side-effects. The Investigators are hoping the cranial sparing PCI has the same positive survival results with the added benefit of lowering neurological side-effects.
Investigators propose to study the single agent activity of pazopanib in a Phase II trial of patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer. Because these patients have very limited treatment options, use of an investigational agent in this patient population is supported by current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. Using correlative biologic studies to evaluate the anti angiogenic activity of pazopanib in the absence of concomitant chemotherapy will allow us to delineate the responses due to this drug and the effect on angiogenesis. Pazopanib dose has been determined to 800 mg once daily per the initial recommended dose approved by FDA and EMA, as monotherapy in advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Pazopanib is a drug that inhibits proteins thought to be important for new blood vessel formation. This drug has been used in other cancer research studies and information from those studies suggests that pazopanib may help block proteins that are important for the growth, invasion, and spread of cancer cells.
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
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of pemetrexed, cisplatin and radiotherapy in the treatment of patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as BB-10901, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of BB-10901 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether OSI-211 (Liposomal Lurtotecan) is an effective and safe treatment for patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer.
