Active clinical trials for "Small Cell Lung Carcinoma"

Comparison of two combination chemotherapies in the treatment of patients with SLCL

The purpose of the study is to determine the value of FLT-PET early after initiated chemotherapy in patients with small cell lung cancer, and to determine whether MRI of the brain should be performed routinely in these patients.

To establish the progression free survival in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer treated with cisplatin and etoposide plus or not apatinib

This Phase II randomized study is to determine whether once-daily simultaneous modulated accelerated thoracic radiotherapy (RT) resulted in better survival than twice-daily RT for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC).

We hypothesized that the local control for both arms were not statistically significant, when irradiation to the post-induction chemotherapy tumor volume is compared with irradiation to the pre-induction chemotherapy tumor volume.While elective nodal irradiation will be omitted for both arms.

This is a prospective, randomized phase-II study observing the memory preservation and functional brain MRI changes with conformal avoidance of the hippocampal neural stem-cell compartment during prophylactic cranial irradiation for small cell lung cancer patients.

This study is intended to assess the feasibility of adjusting a radiation plan during its course to accommodate for a shrinking tumor target. The investigators hypothesize that an adaptive radiotherapy (RT) planning strategy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with chest-confined disease will allow for safe delivery of higher doses of chest RT than a non-adaptive RT planning approach without subjecting normal critical structures to unacceptable doses of radiotherapy.

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.

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.

The study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized, and controlled phase II clinical trial.
