Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known which schedule of radiation therapy is more effective when given together with chemotherapy in treating small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of radiation therapy to compare how well they work when given together with cisplatin and etoposide in treating patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.

This is a study using sunitinib for patients ending treatment on a previous sunitinib malate protocol to continue to receive sunitinib. The patient must have been enrolled in one of the following studies: A6181030, A6181064, A6181078, A6181087, A6181094, A6181107, A6181108, A6181110, A6181111, A6181112, A6181113, A6181120, A6181126 and A6181170. Other Pfizer sponsored sunitinib studies may be included in the future.

This study will evaluate the safety of everolimus in combination with pemetrexed when used as treatment in patients with non small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: The general results of combining irinotecan and platin-based chemotherapies have been very encouraging. As the toxicity profile associated with carboplatin is preferable over cisplatin it is our expectation that patients and physicians would prefer to use this combination if it is equally or more efficacious. To date there has been no agreement regarding the optimal combination of these agents. Based on the trials described in the protocol and our experience with carboplatin/irinotecan in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer the present trial will utilize a 21-day cycle of irinotecan 50 mg/m2 given on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin AUC 5 (based on the Calvert formula) on day 1. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with carboplatin works as first-line therapy in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

As a single agent, paclitaxel has a response rate of 33% and 25-29% in SCLC patients with sensitive relapse and with resistant relapse, respectively. As a single agent, gemcitabine also has a response rate 16% and 6-13% in SCLC patients with sensitive relapse and with resistant relapse, respectively. Because of single-agent activity, different mechanism of action, non-overlapping toxicities, and beneficial pharmacologic interaction, paclitaxel and gemcitabine combinations are attractive for testing in clinical trials.

The primary objective of this study is to compare PFS (progression-free survival) rate at 6 months and at 1 year after randomization, of Nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks with nivolumab 240 mg every 2 weeks in subjects with advanced/metastatic (Stage IIIb/IV) NSCLC (non-Sq and Sq).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of prexasertib when given to participants with extensive stage disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC). The study will evaluate how the body processes the drug and how the drug affects the body. The study will also evaluate the association between tumor response and the participant's perceived quality of life.

Study hypothesis is that aprepitant is more effective than desloratadine in relieving pruritus caused by EGFR TKIs. Primary endpoint is the effective rate of pruritus, effective treatment defined as visual analogue scale (VAS) decrease ≥ 50% after treatment compared to baseline score. 130 NSCLC patients undertaken EGFR-TKI and suffer from moderate or severe pruritus (VAS score ≥ 4) will be enrolled in this study, and stratified (gender, VAS 4-6 or 7-10, and 2nd generation TKI or non 2nd generation) randomized (1:1) into aprepitant or desloratadine treatment. VAS investigation will be taken once a week to treatment end (4 weeks).

This trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of letetresgene autoleucel (GSK3377794) in participants with metastatic NSCLC.

Treatment efficacy of afatinib will be assessed in patients with lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations which were detected from circulating tumor DNA.
