Active clinical trials for "Small Cell Lung Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1316 in combination with Fluzoparib（SHR-3162） in Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

This Phase II study is to determine the efficacy of split-course irradiation with concurrent chemotherapy in locally advanced none-small cell lung cancer patients.

Phase III randomized clinical trial of lurbinectedin (PM01183)/doxorubicin (DOX) versus cyclophosphamide (CTX), doxorubicin (DOX) and vincristine (VCR) (CAV) or topotecan as treatment in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who failed one prior platinum-containing line.

In this study, all patients must have already completed first-line chemotherapy to treat extensive-stage disease small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to show that nivolumab, or nivolumab plus ipilimumab followed by nivolumab by itself, will prolong overall survival when administered as consolidation treatment in patients that are stable or responding after chemotherapy. Patients receiving treatment will be compared with patients taking placebo.

The purpose of this Phase 1b, multi-centre, dose escalation study is to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AZD1775 combined with olaparib in patients with refractory solid tumours

This phase 2 trial evaluates how well pegylated irinotecan (NKTR-102) works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), or breast cancer (mBC) that has spread to the brain and does not respond to treatment. Pegylated irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of PM01183 in Combination with Fixed Doxorubicin in Non- Heavily Pretreated Patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with doxorubicin, to characterize the safety profile and feasibility of this combination, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of this combination, to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity,to explore the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a potential improvable dose of this combination in selected tumor types [i.e. small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and endometrial cáncer] and to evaluate the pharmacogenomics (PGx) in tumor samples of patients exposed to PM01183 and doxorubicin at the RD in order to assess potential markers of response and/or resistance.

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.

Rationale: In the Netherlands 1770 people are being diagnosed with SCLC (Small Cell Lung Cancer) and 8764 patients are being diagnosed with NSCLC (Non Small Cell Lung Cancer) in 2011. This is approximately 15% and 75% of all new diagnosed lungcancers. Part of them will need a combination of chemo-radiationtherapy. A review of the incidence and severity of esophagitis in (N)SCLC patients receiving a combination of chemotherapy and once daily radiotherapy revealed overall esophagitis rates up to 58% experiencing esophagitis grade 2 and higher. As concurrent radiotherapy is moving to twice daily radiation (30 x 1,5 Gy in 3 weeks or 30-35 x 2 Gy in 3 weeks) it is expected that the incidence of esophagitis will rise, the clinical symptoms are likely to arise earlier and become more severe. Mucositis of the upper tractus digestivus is a serious adverse event leading to pain, problems with swallowing and decreased food intake. It has a negative infect on QoL and can lead to prolonged hospital stay and delayed cancer treatment. Physicians seek improvements in treatment modalities to improve these daily patient toxicities. Caphosol® is an advanced electrolyte solution indicated as an adjunct to standard oral care in treating oral mucositis caused by radiation or high dose chemotherapy. Positive effects of Caphosol® oral rinse 4 times daily in a study with head and neck chemoradiation patients were found on the presence of mucositis and on oral comfort. It's supposed that the pathogenesis of chemo- or radiotherapy induced mucositis is the same for the whole tractus digestivus. The appearance does differ due to differences in cell proliferation. Swallowing Caphosol® after oral rinse could have a positive effect on esophageal mucositis on time of onset, severity and duration. Objective: Adding the use of Caphosol® (rinsing and swallowing four times a day) to the standard of care for esophagitis/mucositis, reduces the incidence, onset, duration and severity of esophagitis in (N)SCLC patients, comparing to the standard of care alone. Study design: A multi-centre, open, randomized prospective phase II study. Study population: 108 patients 18 years or older with histologically proven (N)SCLC (all histological subtypes), treated with concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy are estimated to be included in this study (2:1 ratio inclusion; 72 patients with Caphosol® and 36 patients without Caphosol®; α=0.05, power 80%). Intervention (if applicable): 108 patients eligible for this study will be monitored during their (N)SCLC chemo/radiotherapy treatment. One group of 72 patients will receive Caphosol®, 4 times a day - next to the standard of care. Caphosol® will start at day 1 of treatment and will be continued until 3 weeks after the last radiotherapy (RT).Another group of 36 patients will receive only the current standard of care for esophagitis. The patients will be randomly assigned to one of the groups. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary objective is to estimate the incidence, onset, duration and severity of esophagitis in (N)SCLC patients undergoing radiation therapy with chemotherapy who receive Caphosol®. Secondary study parameters/outcome of the study (if applicable): To correlate components of esophagitis data with clinical outcomes (pain, dysphagia, analgetic use, oral intake, weight loss, infection, need for hospitalization, QoL) Discontinuation or delay of chemotherapy due to esophagitis. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The risks are very small. The patient has to fill in a Esophagitis Daily Questionnaire and during regular visits QOL questionaires are performed. Sputumswabs are collected on a weekly basis for determination of the microbiological flora of the mouth. During regular blood control max. 8 ml extra blood is taken for immunologic status research. Caphosol® is a saturated calciumphosphate solution. The daily intake of calcium and phosphor when swallowing Caphosol® 4 times daily is far beyond the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI)(< 5%). Compared to daily nutrients like milk (270 mg calcium per unit milk (225 ml)) or meat (200 mg phosphor per 100 g meat) the intake of calcium and phosphor due to Caphosol® is negligible and is considered safe.

This is a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 2 study designed to is to determine if the combination treatment can improve progression free survival (defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first) when compared with placebo + paclitaxel.
