Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of veliparib and gemcitabine hydrochloride when given with cisplatin in treating patients with advanced biliary, pancreatic, urothelial, or non-small cell lung cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Veliparib may help cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs.

The purpose of the first part of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ascending doses of gemcitabine elaidate in combination with cisplatin given to patients with advanced solid tumors, and to select a dose for further evaluation in the second part of the study. The purpose of the second part of the study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and exploratory clinical activity of gemcitabine elaidate in combination with cisplatin given to patients with Stage IIIb/IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The purpose of this study is to assess overall survival of anti-tumor immunization using HyperAcute®-Lung immunotherapy versus Docetaxel in patients with progressed or relapsed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have been previously treated.

This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of roniciclib when given in combination with chemotherapy Carboplatin / Etoposide or Cisplatin / Etoposide as first line treatment in patients with extensive disease small cell lung cancer. Approximately 140 patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with either roniciclib or placebo in combination with chemotherapy. Roniciclib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) protein kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. By specifically targeting these proteins, roniciclib in combination with chemotherapy may stop cancer growth. The primary endpoint (the most meaningful result to be tracked) of this study is based on the progression free survival, i.e. the time the disease is not worsening. The aim is to show that the therapy with roniciclib in combination with chemotherapy prolongs the time the disease is not worsening in this patient population compared to patients receiving placebo in combination with chemotherapy.

This phase II trial studies how well erlotinib hydrochloride works before surgery in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

The study consists of a Phase1b lead-in portion to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of OMP-59R5 (tarextumab) in combination with etoposide (EP) for 6 cycles followed a Phase 2, multi center, randomized, placebo-controlled portion comparing the efficacy and safety of OMP-59R5 in combination with EP for 6 cycles followed by single agent OMP-59R5 relative to EP alone for 6 cycles in subjects receiving first-line therapy for extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

This pilot clinical trials studies azacitidine and entinostat in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage IA-IIIIA non-small cell lung undergoing surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Entinostat may stop the growth of cancer tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine with entinostat may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well selinexor work in treating patients with small-cell lung cancer that has returned after a period of improvement. One specific way cancer cells continue to grow is by getting rid of certain proteins called "tumor suppressor proteins: that would normally cause cancer cells to die. Selinexor works by trapping "tumor suppressing proteins" within the cell and may cause the cancer cells to die or stop growing.

GSK2879552 is a potent, selective, mechanism-based inactivator of Lysine Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1)/ CoRepressor for Element-1-Silencing Transcription factor (CoREST) activity. This is a phase I, open-label, multi-center, non-randomized, 2-part first time in human (FTIH) study for GSK2879552. Part 1 is a dose escalation phase to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for GSK2879552 based on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles observed after oral administration of GSK2879552. Any dose level(s) may be expanded up to 12 subjects in order to collect additional data on PK and PD.The safety and PK/PD data will be reviewed prior to the dose decision, and the dose escalation will be guided by the Neuenschwander -continuous reassessment method (N-CRM). Built-in safety constraints are in place to prevent exposing subjects to undue risk of toxicity. Once RP2D is identified, an expansion cohort (Part 2) of up to 30 subjects will be enrolled to further evaluate the clinical activity and tolerability of GSK2879552 in subjects with relapsed/refractory SCLC.

Determine whether viagenpumatucel-L combined with low-dose cyclophosphamide prolongs survival in patients with NSCLC who failed 2 or 3 prior lines of therapy for incurable or metastatic disease compared with chemotherapy alone.
