Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 1-year treatment failure rate of two sequential chemotherapy regimens: weekly docetaxel plus cisplatin followed by gemcitabine; and gemcitabine plus cisplatin followed by weekly docetaxel。

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of gemcitabine/cisplatin versus gemcitabine/epirubicin in Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC in terms of response rate and overall survival.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CP-547,632, an oral VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor when given in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) is effective in the treatment of advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ZD6474 in patients with NSCLC after Failure of Prior Platinum-based Chemotherapy.

This study will gather and compare data about the effectiveness and safety of two different treatments for extensive Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) in patients who have not received previous chemotherapy. One treatment will use an investigational drug in combination with an FDA approved chemotherapy. The other treatment will use a combination of two FDA approved chemotherapy drugs.

RATIONALE: Marimastat may stop the growth of lung cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if marimastat is an effective treatment for small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of marimastat with a placebo following chemotherapy in treating patients who have small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with docetaxel, gemcitabine, and cisplatin as induction therapy in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effect of temozolomide in patients with progressive or recurrent stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, with or without brain metastases, who have not been treated for metastatic disease with chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and cisplatin followed by surgery in treating patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Exposing tumor cells to the p53 gene may improve the body's ability to fight non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy in treating patients who have non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed.
