Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cisplatin in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer or tumors that have spread from where they started to the lung (metastasis). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving cisplatin directly into the arteries around the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

Measure the 1 year survival of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are being treated with pemetrexed in combination with cisplatin and radiation.

RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that is absorbed by tumor cells. The drug becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using HPPH in treating patients with stage 0 non-small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue near the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery.

This is a double- blind, multicenter, randomized Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AT-101 in combination with docetaxel in relapsed/refractory non-small cell lung cancer

A phase II study of combination therapy of carboplatin -gemcitabine plus bevacizumab beyond progression in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior chemotherapy.

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the safety of volociximab (V) in combination with a standard treatment of carboplatin (C), paclitaxel (P), and bevacizumab (B) in subjects previously untreated with chemotherapy for advanced stage (IIIB/IV) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The purpose of this study is to compare disease response of Albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABI-007) plus Carboplatin versus Taxol and Carboplatin as first-line therapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate overall survival improvement for aflibercept + docetaxel compared to docetaxel + placebo as second line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The secondary objectives were to compare other efficacy parameters, to assess the overall safety of the two treatment arms, to assess the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this participant population and to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept in all participants.

Part 1 is complete. Part 2 is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 segment that will commence upon identification of the maximum tolerated dose in part 1. The Primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to estimate efficacy in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Subjects will be randomized at a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment arms. Subjects in each of the 3 arms will receive up to 6 cycles of paclitaxel/carboplatin (at the same dose and schedule in part 1) in combination with either AMG 655 at the maximum tolerated dose (Arm 1), AMG 655 at a lower dose (Arm 2), or AMG 655 placebo (Arm 3) IV Q3W. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG (0 or 1) and disease stage (IIIb or IV/recurrent).
