Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The study seeks to assess the efficacy of veliparib (ABT-888) in combination with carboplatin and etoposide in participants with extensive disease small cell lung cancer (ED SCLC).

This is a Phase 2, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine administered as a single-agent in participants with HER2-positive (HER2 IHC 2+ or HER2 IHC 3+) advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Participants will be treated with trastuzumab emtansine administered intravenously at a dose of 3.6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles until disease progression (as assessed by the investigator), unmanageable toxicity, or study termination by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.

RATIONALE: Classically the evaluation of response in lung cancer has been based in comparing pre & post treatment tumour volume by means of studying changes in the diameter of the selected target lesions by RECIST. The introduction of new targeted drugs creates the need of a different response assessment. Functional imaging techniques are able to study in vivo physiological processes of angiogenesis. Therefore, dynamic techniques may be more appropriate for assessing response to antiangiogenic drugs, whose mechanism of action is focused on tumor's vasculature normalization. Preliminary studies have demonstrated significant and very early changes in indirect vasculature parameters such as flow, blood volume and tumor perfusion with vascular-targeting agents. These techniques may be useful for selecting patients who are going to benefit from antiangiogenic therapy by an early evaluation of response by means of functional imaging method. PURPOSE: IMPACT is an open-label, single arm phase II/IV study to evaluate the predictive value and early radiologic response or perfusion computed tomography (CT) in patients diagnosed with unresectable advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC treated with bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy.

This study is a Phase III, randomised, open label, multi-centre study assessing the efficacy and safety of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1 positive tumours and the combination of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) plus tremelimumab (MEDI4736+treme) versus Standard of Care in NSCLC patients with PD-L1-negative tumours in the treatment of male and female patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV), who have received at least 2 prior systemic treatment regimens including 1 platinum-based chemotherapy regimen for NSCLC. Patients with known EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) tyrosine kinase (TK) activating mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are not eligible for the study (prospective testing is not planned within this study). The Standard of Care options are: an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (erlotinib [TARCEVA®]), gemcitabine or vinorelbine (NAVELBINE®)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safeness and effectiveness of mix vaccine (MV). Enrolled patients will receive standard treatment according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guide line with or without combining MV injection. The efficacy and side effect will be compared between the two groups.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) and erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have progressed after previous response to erlotinib hydrochloride therapy. MK2206 and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The present study has 5 parts. In Parts A and A1, the dose of intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab (MK-3475) will be escalated from 1 to 10 mg/kg to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for participants with a histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of any type of carcinoma or melanoma (MEL) by evaluating the Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs). Following completion of the dose escalation, additional patients will be enrolled in Part A2 to further define pharmacokinetic characteristics. Part B of the study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pembrolizumab (2 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) in participants with advanced or metastatic MEL and compare every 2 week dosing (Q2W) to every 3 week dosing (Q3W). Part C of the study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pembrolizumab administered at 10 mg/kg Q3W in participants with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that is locally advanced or metastatic. Part D of the study will investigate the low and high doses of study drug identified in Parts A and B (2 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) administered Q3W in participants with advanced or metastatic MEL. Part E (closed with Amendment 7) was planned to investigate low, medium, and high doses of pembrolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Part F will investigate low and high doses of pembrolizumab (2 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) administered Q2W or Q3W in treatment-naive and previously-treated participants with NSCLC with programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) gene expression. The primary hypotheses are the following: that pembrolizumab will have acceptable safety and tolerability; that pembrolizumab will show a clinically meaningful response rate (RR) or disease-control rate (DCR) in participants with melanoma (ipilimumab-refractory or not) and NSCLC, and that pembrolizumab will show a more clinically meaningful RR in participants with either cancer whose tumors express PD-L1.

This is a phase II, multicenter, non-randomized, open-label study evaluating the combination of pemetrexed plus carboplatin in HIV-positive patients with lung cancer.

This open-label, single arm study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tarceva (erlotinib) as first-line therapy in participants with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer who harbour epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. All participants will receive Tarceva 150 mg daily orally until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. At the investigator's discretion, participants may receive Tarceva beyond disease progression.

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the benefit of first-line maintenance erlotinib (Tarceva) versus erlotinib at the time of disease progression in participants with advanced NSCLC who have not progressed following 4 cycles of platinum based-chemotherapy and whose tumor does not harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation. Participants will be randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 milligrams (mg) orally (PO) once daily or placebo. Participants who progress on placebo will receive erlotinib 150 mg PO once daily as second-line therapy, and those who progress on erlotinib may switch to a non-investigational, second-line chemotherapy. Treatments will continue until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. Participants may also be entered into a final Survival Follow-Up (SFU) period upon treatment discontinuation.
