Filter by:To determine whether the combination of gemcitabine/carboplatin with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is associated with an improved clinical outcome (progression free and overall survival) compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
AZD1775 (previously known as MK-1775 in earlier studies) is an inhibitor of Wee1, a protein tyrosine kinase. Wee1 phosphorylates and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases 1 (CDK1) and 2 (CDK2), and is involved in regulation of the intra-S and G2 cell cycle checkpoints. CDK1 (also called cell division cycle 2, or CDC2) activity drives a cell from the G2 phase of the cell cycle into mitosis. In response to DNA damage, Wee1 inhibits CDK1 to prevent the cell from dividing until the damaged DNA is repaired (G2 checkpoint arrest). Inhibition of Wee1 is expected to release a tumor cell from chemotherapeutically-induced arrest of cell replication. In vitro experiments demonstrate that AZD1775 has synergistic cytotoxic effects when administered in combination with various DNA damaging agents that have divergent mechanisms of action. Therefore, the primary objective of the clinical development of AZD1775 is its use as a chemosensitizing drug in combination with a cytotoxic agent (or combination of agents) for treatment of advanced solid tumors. CDK2 activity drives a cell into, and through, S-phase of the cell cycle where the genome is duplicated in preparation for cell division. Inhibition of Wee1 is expected to cause aberrantly high CDK2 activity in S-phase cells which, in turn, leads to unstable DNA replication structures and ultimately DNA damage. Therefore, it is anticipated that AZD1775 will have independent anti-tumor activity in the absence of added chemotherapy. The tumor suppressor protein p53 regulates the G1 checkpoint. As the majority of human cancers harbor abnormalities in this pathway they become more dependent on S- and G2- phase checkpoints. Thus, S- and G2-checkpoint abrogation caused by inhibition of Wee1 may selectively sensitize p53-deficient cells. One hundred percent of SCLC has TP53 mutation, therefore we can expect that most of SCLC have lost G1 checkpoint and has high probability of WEE1 dependency for proper DNA repair and cell cycle progression. For this reason, SCLC could be a good clinical trial target disease for WEE1 inhibitor.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dendritic cells (DC) combined with cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells treatment patients with Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer. Experimental adopted recombinant adenovirus-code MUC1 and Survivin transfected DC, which are used for DC-based immunotherapy. Based on the results of our previously preclinical research with DC combined with CIK cells, the investigators plan to perform the clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of rovalpituzumab tesirine as a third-line and later treatment for participants with relapsed or refractory delta-like protein 3 (DLL3) expressing small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
This study will look at the safety of the combination of three drugs (CDX-1401, Poly-ICL, and Pembrolizumab) and its effect on decreasing tumors. Pembrolizumab is an experimental cancer drug. CDX-1401 is a tumor specific antigen and Poly-ICL is a Toll-like receptor agonist tumor specific antigens which when combined with Pembrolizumab may increase the tumor response to this drug.
This trial will investigate the combination of two anti-cancer agents to treat patients with relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and ovarian cancers. Oral topotecan has US FDA approval for treating select gynecological cancers and SCLC. LCL161 is an investigational product that has been shown in clinical trials to work together with other anti-cancer agents. In this trial, investigators will determine the optimal dose of LCL161 and topotecan to administer to patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC and ovarian cancers, and examine the safety profile of the drug combination.
Open, non-interventional, prospective, multi-center clinical research platform with the main objective to assess molecular biomarker testing, treatment and outcome of patients with NSCLC or SCLC in Germany
To investigate the response of temozolomide versus prophylactic cranial radiotherapy in preventing brain metastases in completed or partial remission limited small cell lung cancer patients.
