Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of CP-751,871 when given in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

In Phase 1 of this study, the purpose is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and highest safe dose of the multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (including VEGFR2, MET, and RET) XL184 in combination with the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib administered to adults with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). In Phase 2 of this study, the purpose is to evaluate the objective response rate of daily oral administration of XL184 with or without erlotinib in subjects with NSCLC who have progressed after responding to treatment with erlotinib.

Multicenter randomized phase II trial to examine the safety and efficacy of carboplatin, docetaxel, bevacizumab followed by maintenance bevacizumab and erlotinib in patients with completely resected stage IB, II, and select III NSCLC.

This study will evaluate Tarceva in a selected population of patients with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are anticipated to have a relatively good (indolent) prognosis based on clinical criteria. It is anticipated that selection will enrich for tumor characteristic that are likely to be benefited by EGFR inhibitor treatment (survival greater than 90 days). The goal of this strategy is to provide a less toxic, oral treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC that will not interfere with patients receiving chemotherapy at some point in the future and may prolong the time to chemotherapy related progression. Patients will remain on study until disease progresses, a decline in performance status, if patient cannot tolerate the side effects or develops symptoms requiring conventional chemotherapy.

This study will compare the overall survival of participants with locally-advanced, Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with nonsquamous cell histology.

This proposed Phase II trial will investigate the combination of irinotecan and carboplatin followed by sunitinib in the first-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage SCLC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment with cisplatin and oral vinorelbine administered weekly associated with concomitant radiotherapy in elderly patients.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Dimethylxanthenone acetic acid may stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with dimethylxanthenone acetic acid may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving paclitaxel and carboplatin together with dimethylxanthenone acetic acid and to see how well they work in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

This randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase II trial will compare the combination of erlotinib with pazopanib (providing concurrent EGFR and VEGFR inhibition) with erlotinib alone in the second- or third-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC. This study will be conducted though the Sarah Cannon Research Consortium, a community-based clinical trial network.

RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as beta-glucan, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of beta-glucan in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
