Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung"

Dose distribution calculations for proton therapy are more accurate when based on DE-CT than on SE-CT. It is however unclear what the quantitative benefit of repeated DE-CT calculations is for lung cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether either or both nutrition supplements (Impact® Advanced Recovery or Boost® High Protein) ingested prior to and during concurrent chemoradiotherapy decreases toxic side effects of treatment in Stage IIIA-B non-small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Losartan potassium may be effective in treating pulmonary fibrosis caused by radiation therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying losartan to see how well it works in treating pulmonary fibrosis caused by radiation therapy in patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

A side effect occurring in a majority of patients taking erlotinib (Tarceva®) consists of a skin rash. Sometimes, symptoms associated with the rash necessitate erlotinib dose reduction or discontinuation. Some physicians have successfully treated the erlotinib-induced rash with doxycycline. At the same time, it has been observed that in patients who develop the erlotinib rash, the cancers respond better to erlotinib treatment. This research study is designed to determine how well doxycycline treats the erlotinib rash and whether doxycycline affects the blood levels of erlotinib.

The purpose of this study is to determine if EGFR status (positive or negative) by FISH can predict response to cetuximab therapy in NSCLC patients treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel

Primary Objectives: To evaluate the Quality of Life (QoL) score of adding oral Oligo Fucoidan to platinum-based chemotherapy in comparison with placebo in subjects with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Secondary Objectives: To assess the progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR) of adding oral Oligo Fucoidan to platinum-based chemotherapy in comparison with placebo in subjects with NSCLC.

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare armodafinil, bupropion, curcumin, and minocycline when given alone or in combination to learn which is better for controlling symptoms, such as the side effects of chemoradiation, when given to treat lung cancer.

Phase Ib study investigating whether liposome BLP25 mucin-1 (MUC1) peptide-specific immunotherapy (L-BLP25) administered as weekly subcutaneous doses over 8 weeks following a single dose of intravenous cyclophosphamide (CPA) induces a reproducible cytokine pattern measured in the serum of unresected Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subjects after first-line chemo-radiation therapy.

This randomized clinical trial studies pulmonary rehabilitation in improving lung function in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer undergoing chemoradiation. Individualized exercise rehabilitation programs may reduce breathing problems and improve quality of life in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether pulmonary rehabilitation is more effective when started during or after cancer treatment.

This pilot clinical trial studies how well social media listening works in improving clinical trial recruitment in patients with cancer. Social media listening and recruitment on Twitter may enhance enrollment for cancer-related clinical trials.
