Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of a wild type reovirus (REOLYSIN®) in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is effective and safe in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with KRAS or EGFR activation.

The goal of the Phase I portion of this study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of dasatinib and erlotinib hydrochloride that can be given to patients with advanced solid tumors. The goal of the Phase II portion of this study is to learn if this combination is effective when given to patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The safety of this combination will be studied in both phases.

This study was designed to test the addition of DMXAA (now known as ASA404) to carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with NSCLC.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to treat lung cancer patients who have undergone an attempt at curative resection with the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin.

The purpose of this study is to determine if participants with untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer have a better outcome when treated with olaratumab in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin then when treated with paclitaxel/carboplatin alone.

This is an experimental study of the feasibility and efficacy of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging (CT blood flow measurements) in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer.

This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEGF0444A combined with paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab therapy in patients with histologically or cytologically documented inoperable, locally advanced, metastatic (Stage IV), or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC.

In this research study erlotinib will be given to eligible participants whose lung cancer has been removed by surgery. Eligible patients have adenocarcinoma, a type of non-small lung cancer, and must have 1 or more of the following characteristics: be female, be of Asian or Pacific Rim descent and/or be a never smoker. The potential participant's tumor will be examined for Epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mutations. EGFR is a protein that is overexpressed in most non-small cell lung cancers. Some EGFR has been found to have specific mutations and the participant must have one of these mutations in his tumor. Erlotinib blocks this protein and may control tumor growth and increase survival. Previous research has shown that erlotinib is most effective for people who have these specific mutations in the EGFR.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if escalated/accelerated proton radiotherapy can improve the control of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and decrease side effects. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Objectives: To assess the therapeutic efficacy and toxicities of proton radiotherapy with escalated/accelerated dose for patients with medically inoperable stage I (T1-2, N0,M0) NSCLC. Primary goals: Improve 2 years progression free survival at the primary site, and reduce acute and chronic toxicity Secondary goals: Improve disease specific survival at 2 years. Study the potential of pre- and post treatment PET/CT in predicting clinical outcome. Study the role of biomarkers in predicting therapeutic response and toxicities.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Brain metastases manifest as the first site of disease failure in between 15-30% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The standard treatment for patients with multiple brain metastases is whole brain radiotherapy but this results in only a modest survival of 3-6 months. Drugs that can enhance the effect of cranial irradiation (radiosensitizers) may improve the the response rates. Erlotinib (Tarceva) is an oral agent that has been registered for treatment in patients with metastatic NSCLC. Erlotinib has shown tumor activity in patients presenting with brain metastases, and preclinical studies show that it may be a radiosensitizer. As a prelude to studies investigating the combination of Erlotinib and cranial radiotherapy, the present study will be performed to evaluate the safety of combining both these treatments.
