Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aldoxorubicin compared to topotecan in subjects with metastatic small cell lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to identify the appropriate dose of irinotecan by dose escalation(dose climbing) test. The study would provide rationale for regimen decision in a future phase III clinical trial, in which irinotecan combined with cisplatin(IP) will be selected as therapeutic drugs.
Background: - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It causes more than one million deaths every year. Researchers want to gather tissue samples from people with lung and thymic cancers to understand the disease better. This may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat it. Objective: - To collect tissue samples for use in the study of lung cancers. Eligibility: - Adults over age 18 with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, extra pulmonary small cell cancer, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, and thymic epithelial tumors. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will be asked about how they perform their daily tasks. - Participants may be asked to give urine and blood samples. They may give a saliva sample if they cannot give blood. They will also give a sample of their tumor from a biopsy they had. They may also be given the option to undergo a biopsy. - Participants may have MRI, CT, and/or PET scans of the body. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. - After visits to the Clinical Center end, researchers will contact participants by phone every year to check on their health.
Lung Cancer and melanoma relapsed frequently whereas its very sensitive to treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The purpose of this study is to have a better understanding of why those patients are relapsing using next generation sequencing to identify rare mutations and assessed their predictive value.
The purpose of this study is to Evaluate and compare safety and efficacy of Gemcitabine Maintenance Treatment in Patients With Extensive SCLC Patients Receiving Etoposide Combined With Platinum Based First-line Chemotherapy
As the gene polymorphism of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1(UGT1A1)is related to the side effect of diarrhea induced by irinotecan. UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7) and *6 (G/G and G/A) is related to low probability of diarrhea and UGT1A1 gene *28 (7/7) and *6 (A/A)is related to high probability of diarrhea. The purpose of this study is to find out the efficacy and side effect between two different dosages of irinotecan combined with cisplatin scheme in extensive disease-small cell lung cancer with UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7)and *6 (G/G and G/A), based on the hypothesis that the UGT1A1 gene *28 (7/7) and *6 (A/A)is few in the Chinese population and increasing the dose of irinotecan can improve the efficacy without increasing the side effect in the patients with UGT1A1 gene *28 (6/6 and 6/7)*6 (G/G and G/A).
Rare tumors are understudied, yet have the potential to shed light on vast areas of cancer research. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, rare tumors of childhood and young adulthood, have recently been found to be associated with a lung cancer of early childhood called pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). The cause of these ovarian tumors is unknown. DICER1 mutations are seen in the majority of children with PPB. Research shows DICER1 mutations are also seen in some patients with ovarian tumors. Like PPB, ovarian stromal tumors are highly curable when found in early stage; however, later forms of the disease are aggressive and often fatal. The International Ovarian Stromal Tumor Registry collects clinical and biologic data to understand why these tumors occur and how to treat them. Current work involves the study of the role of DICER1 and miRNA expression in ovarian stromal tumors. Understanding the clinical history, predisposing factors and DICER1 and miRNA expression in these ovarian tumors of childhood will lead to targeted screening and risk stratification for evidence-based treatment and biologically rational therapies. These efforts will improve the lives of children by increasing survival and reducing late effects. The specific goals of the International Ovarian and Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry are: 1. to understand risk factors by studying age, pathologic subtype, histopathologic features, tumor invasiveness, degree of differentiation, presence of metastasis 2. to collect information on personal and family history in order to refine the clinical characteristics of patients and families with and without germline DICER1 mutations and other genetic predisposing factors 3. to determine whether there is a pattern of gene expression or DNA alterations that correlate with predisposition to ovarian tumors, biologic behavior and clinical outcome 4. to determine optimal screening regimens 5. to use clinical data obtained through the Registry to refine treatment algorithms 6. to establish a collection of annotated biology specimens (tumor tissue and germline DNA) for future research
At present, there is no standard second-line treatment of refractory and relapsed SCLC, topotecan, gemcitabine, paclitaxel, irinotecan and drugs such as cyclophosphamide second-line treatment of small cell lung cancer currently being explored, Anthracycline antibiotics is a cell cycle non-specific anticancer drugs could inhibit the synthesis of DNA, DNA and dependent RNA, its wide antitumor spectrum, widely used in malignant hematologic diseases and lung cancer and other solid tumors. Jacot W, et al evaluated epirubicin combined with ifosfamide (EI) for treatment of refractory and recurrent SCLC in 70 cases, the objective response rate (ORR) reached 21.4%, including 1 cases of complete remission, 10% other patients obtained stable disease (SD), all the patients had a median survival of 3.9 months, most (71%) patients with neutropenia, platelet count and anemia are also common, showed that EI treatment of refractory and relapsed SCLC is effectively controlled, toxicity. In view of epirubicin combined with ifosfamide (EI) scheme is effective and safety in the treatment of refractory and relapsed SCLC, the investigators will use liposomal doxorubicin plus ifosfamide second-line treatment of refractory and relapsed small cell lung cancer, may obtain better tumor remission rate, improve the prognosis of the patients.
Phase 1 : To evaluate MTD(Maximal tolerated dose)and DLT(Dose limiting Toxicity) of Belotecan and Ifosfamide. Phase 2 : To analyse efficacy and toxicity of Belotecan and Ifosfamide.
Although fist-line therapy with Cisplatin and etoposide(EP)or Carboplatin and etoposide(CE)and second-line therapy with topotecan has been given, patients with ED-SCLC still relapse and 2-year survival is less than 10%. There is no standard treatment recommendation for this group of patients who failed to second-line therapy and had good performance status. Some cytotoxic drugs for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, i.e. vinorelbine, paclitaxel, and ifosfamide, were used in refractory or recurrent SCLC patients. Recently, a retrospective study showed the overall response rate was 30%, the median progression free survival (PFS) was 6.5 months, and the median overall survival was 10.4 months in advanced combined SCLC patients treated with first-line regimen of vinorelbine, ifosfamide and cisplatin (NIP). Because of the previous platinum administration and patient's performance status, only vinorelbine and ifosfamide (NI) are combined and used as third-line therapy for refractor or recurrent ED-SCLC in our lung cancer center. And this clinical trial is designed to prospectively investigate the efficacy and safety of NI regimen in refractory or recurrent ED-SCLC patients in our center.
