Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of this phase 1b/2 study is to estimate the treatment effect of study drug measuring progression free survival.

This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of treatment with dacomitinib (PF-00299804) to treatment with gefitinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, with epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR-activating mutation (s). Analyses of primary objective (Progression Free Survival) will be done as defined in the protocol.

The primary purpose of the study is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of LDK378 and AUY922. This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity of the combination of LDK378 and AUY922 in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer.

This Phase 2 study is designed to characterize the objective response rate (defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)) of Etirinotecan pegol administered to subjects with metastatic and recurrent NSCLC after failure of 2nd line therapy. Up to 37 eligible subjects will receive the investigational drug q3 weeks until they are no longer benefiting.

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential benefits resulting from a specific training on exercise tolerance and muscle function at the medium and long-time, as well as study its effects on plasmatic mediators (sMICA, IGF-I and IGFBP-3) in patients with lung cancer following resection surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly nab-paclitaxel for a second-line treatment in elderly subjects, 70 years of age or greater, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ramucirumab in combination with docetaxel in participants with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who have had disease progression during or after one prior first-line platinum-based chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy for advanced/metastatic disease.

To determine the efficacy and Safety of intrapleural Bevacizumab and cisplatin as a treatment for malignant pleural effusions (MPE) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

It is apparent that local control for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) remains a significant problem. Conventional radiation therapy techniques have limitations for the dose that can be delivered to a chest tumor mass due to the adjacent dose limiting organs. Mounting evidence supports the use of hypofractionated stereotactically delivered radiation therapy to control lung cancer with acceptable toxicity profiles. Thus the investigators propose to increase the doses of radiation to residual masses of NSCL to a BED > 100 Gy by the addition of two fractions of stereotactically delivered boost radiation therapy to residual disease post-conventional chemoradiation to at least 59.4 Gy in 180 cGy fractions. Using the linear quadratic equation to model doses of radiation therapy, 59.4 Gy would have a BED of approximately 70 Gy. Single fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of 10 Gy would have a BED of approximately 20 Gy. Thus the addition of two fractions of 10Gy of SBRT to limited volumes of PET residual disease would theoretically result in higher degrees of local control of lung cancer masses, achieving a minimum cumulative BED of approximately 110Gy-equivalent.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of exemestane in combination with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin in treating post-menopausal women with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor calls by blocking some of the enzymes need for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving exemestane together with pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells
