Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This study will determine the objective response rate in chemotherapy naive non-small cell lung cancer patients with advanced disease.

the investigators will conduct a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of Sunitinib in patients with recurrent SCLC.

This trial will evaluate whether the sequential administration of Cisplatin/Vinorelbine/Bevacizumab followed by Docetaxel/Gemcitabine/Bevacizumab versus the Cisplatin/Docetaxel/Bevacizumab combination as first line treatment offers a survival advantage in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, international pilot study to evaluate changes that occur in 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG)- and 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine(FLT)-PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging as a result of treatment with erlotinib in patients with recurrent or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will enroll approximately 30 patients at approximately 4 sites in Australia and 2 sites in the United States.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of IPI-504 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will examine how IPI-504 is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated by the body. The study will also evaluate the anti-tumor activity of IPI-504.

AZD0530 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II study is studying how well giving AZD0530 works in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Evaluation of gemcitabine and cisplatin in combination with either sorafenib or placebo for the treatment of patients with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The second-line treatment in advanced NSCLC has been currently proved effective in prolonging overall survival and improving quality of life. Both pemetrexed and erlotinib have been approved for second-line treatment of NSCLC . Erlotinib is a valuable option for the treatment of advanced NSCLC, especially for elderly patients, due to convenience of administration and safety profile. The role of comprehensive geriatric assessment in treatment efficacy and tolerance is an area of investigation.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of sorafenib up to the full active dose when combined with standard weekly dosing of topotecan in patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer and to characterize the toxicities associated with the combination of topotecan and sorafenib in this patient population

The purpose of this research study is to: see if gefitinib pills can shrink Stage 1 or 2 non-small cell lung cancers before surgery see if your non-small cell lung cancer has a mutation in a certain part of the EGFR gene see if patients whose tumor does shrink with gefitinib treatment are more likely to have a mutation in a certain part of the EGFR gene see if the pattern of protein expression in the blood is related to the tumor's sensitivity or resistance to gefitinib treatment. see if expression of certain genes in the tumor are related to the tumor's sensitivity or resistance to gefitinib treatment.
