Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This study compares paclitaxel/carboplatin (PC) to PC chemotherapy followed by gefitinib for 2 weeks in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Expanded acronym : [P]aclitaxel/Ca[r]boplatin (PC) followed by Gef[i]tinib in A[d]vanc[e]d Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Randomized phase II study.

Given the activity of single-agent Topotecan in NSCLC, there is both scientific rationale and a medical interest in studying this agent in combination with radiation. In addition, Topotecan administered on a weekly basis offers advantages over the daily x 5 regimen, i.e., the convenience of administration and fewer visits to the clinic.

A study for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in patients previously treated with chemotherapy.

The primary objective is to describe the quality of life of long-term survivors who are not terminated from the EAP.

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of denosumab to treat Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in patients with elevated serum calcium who do not respond to recent treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates by lowering corrected serum calcium </= 11.5 mg/dL (2.9 millimoles /L) by day 10.

NSCLC is the leading cause of cancer mortality in North America, accounting for nearly 30% of all cancer deaths. The standard treatment for patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection of the involved lobe/lung. However, many patients are unable to undergo such a major surgery due to medical illness, and an emerging standard-of-care for these patients stereotactic-body radiation therapy (SBRT). SBRT involves highly precise delivery of very high dose Radiotherapy (RT) over a very few fractions (hypofractionation) to accurately describe, size-restricted malignant targets in which motion has been accounted for during the delivery process. SBRT administration achieves avoidance of normal tissue exposure to radiation during the planning process, by providing for sharp fall-off dose gradients outside the target.

In this phase II trial, we will evaluate the weekly schedule of topotecan in the second-line treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer

This is a phase II, single institution trial for patients with clinical Stage IB-IIIA NSCLC (T1-3N0-2M0) who have resectable lung tumors. The primary goal of this study is to show that the addition of bevacizumab to a cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting for non-squamous cell carcinomas improves the rate of pathologic downstaging, which correlates with survival. Downstaging is defined as any decrease in the final pathologic stage compared with the clinical stage before induction therapy.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the relationship between patient reported outcomes (PROs) and neutropenia (or its complications) in NSCLC subjects receiving chemotherapy with or without Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim).

This is a Phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label trial of daily oral Tarceva in patients with advanced (inoperable Stage IIIb or IV) NSCLC who have progressed following standard chemotherapy treatment.
