Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The goal of this clinical research study is to test the use of a minimally invasive multimodality image-guided (MIMIG) intervention system used for performing a lung biopsy. The safety of the MIMIG intervention system will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the addition of veliparib plus carboplatin and paclitaxel versus the addition of placebo plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in adults with advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for insomnia in lung cancer survivors.

Thioredoxin reductase plays an critical role in lung cancer patients, in vitro study showed that, ethaselen, specific inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase, could inhibit lung cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis. In China, phase 1 clinical trials of ethaselen showed that 1200 mg dose ethaselen could be well tolerated, in pre-clinical study we found that, approximately 50% non-small cell lung cancers harbored high thioredoxin reductase expression(IHC result ++ or +++), phase 1a/b of ethaselen had finished in 2008, the result showed that 1200mg ethaselen per day was safety and tolerated by Chinese malignant tumor patients.In pre-clinical research, our group found that, elevated of thioredoxin reductase activity was associated with the expression of thioredoxin reductase tested by immunohistochemistry, which means high expression of this enzyme may be a favourite predicted factor of ethaselen, the specific inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase.

The purpose of the study is to assess the objective response rate (change in tumor size from baseline) in patients with advanced or metastatic squamous cell nonsmall-cell lung cancer treated with Nivolumab (BMS-936558) after failure of 2 prior systemic regimens

The purpose of this study is to see how participants with late stage lung cancer do on gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy plus necitumumab. The study will also see how safe the drugs are in combination and to see how long the medicine stays in the body. The study will last approximately 2 years.

Using Intensity Modulated radiotherapy it is possible to treat the entire brain to standard dosages of whole-brain radiation, while keeping the radiation dose to the hippocampus low. However, a clear relationship between radiation dose and damage to the hippocampal stem cells has not been established yet. This study is initiated to investigate the early and delayed neurotoxicity of PCI and to assess in a randomised design the benefits and risks of sparing the hippocampus in Small Cell Lung Cancer patients who receive PCI.

assess the efficacy and safety of gemcitabine in the maintenance treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer

The investigators propose this phase I/II study to use weekly Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) and carboplatin with concurrent radiation in local-regionally advanced lung cancer. There are no published human studies combining Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) with radiation. The investigators will first confirm the tolerated dose (TD) of concurrent Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) at 50mg/m2, and then will begin enrolling patients into the phase II component using either Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane) at the TD with carboplatin concurrent with daily radiation or paclitaxel with carboplatin concurrent with daily radiation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BIND-014 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
