Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Purpose of the study is to determine the following in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR activating mutations. the safety and tolerability of ASP8273. the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ASP8273. the antitumor activity of ASP8273.

By detecting the blood concentration of paclitaxel (PTX), Investigator assume this research can identify the individual differences of PTX pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters (TC>0.05 refers to the duration of paclitaxel plasma concentration above 0.05 µmol/L) in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and find the correlation between PK results and PTX toxicities and Effectiveness, acquire the optimization method of PTX, and finally try to explore the individualized PTX pharmacokinetically-guided dosing strategy. Orally administer rosiglitazone, which is a substrate of CYP2C8 the same as paclitaxel, before chemotherapy injection. Detect the blood concentration of rosiglitazone, analyze the correlation of rosiglitazone pharmacokinetic parameter and paclitaxel exposure, and explore the effect of rosiglitazone as an in vivo probe of paclitaxel exposure. The variability of paclitaxel concentrations in the patient population dosed by body surface area (BSA), and the limitation of BSA-based dosing of paclitaxel. Verify that paclitaxel TC>0.05 is the most relevant predictor of haematological toxicity and clinical outcomes. Define a dosing algorithm based on paclitaxel TC>0.05 of paclitaxel and quantify its effect on both reducing toxicity and improving Effectiveness. The effect of using dose modification and administration of G-CSF based on toxicity determined by paclitaxel TC>0.05 measurement. Construct a trial outline with the aim of reducing grade 4 neutropenia toxicity and ensuring the clinical outcome by using individual dose adjustments based on the dosing algorithm. Detect the blood concentration of rosiglitazone after orally administration, explore the effect of rosiglitazone as an in vivo probe of paclitaxel exposure based on CYP2C8 activity. Attempt to establish a model to predict the paclitaxel exposure of patients base on rosiglitazone blood concentration before chemotherapy.

Background: Anetumab ravtansine is a new drug. It kills cancer cells that carry mesothelin. That is a protein on the surface of tumor cells in many types of tumors, including most lung cancers. Researchers want to find a safe dose for the study drug for lung cancer. They want to see if it can shrink tumors in mesothelin-positive lung cancer. Objectives: To test the safety and effectiveness of anetumab ravtansine for lung cancer. Eligibility: Adults 18 years and older who have lung cancer that has gotten worse on other therapy Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Tumor tissue sample. This can be from a previous procedure. Blood and urine tests Heart tests Scans. For one scan, a small amount of radioactive substance is injected into the blood. Eye exam The study will have 21-day cycles. On day 1 of each cycle, participants will get the study drug through a tube inserted in a vein. Participants will repeat a heart test in cycles 1 and 2. They will have blood tests weekly in cycle 1, twice in all other cycles. They will have scans every 6 weeks for the first 6 months, every 9 weeks until the end of year 2, then every 12 weeks. Participants will have samples of tumor tissue taken twice. About 30 days after stopping the study drug, participants will have a follow-up visit. This will include medical history, physical exam, blood and pregnancy tests, and heart and eye tests. Some will be called a few times a year to discuss their health and treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GRN1005 in patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Dasatinib is a drug that has been shown to stop some cancer cells from growing. This drug has been used in treatment for other types of cancer and information from other research studies suggests that dasatinib may help to stop squamous cell lung cancer from growing, especially in individuals whose tumor has a mutation in the DDR2 gene. Advanced squamous cell lung cancer (SqCC) carries a poor prognosis and new therapeutic targets are needed. Several studies have examined dasatinib in NSCLC; these report significant toxicities, but also responses in patients found to harbor mutations in DDR2 or BRAF. An open-label phase II trial with dasatinib was carried out to determine the response rates in patients with SqCC who had previously failed standard chemotherapy and to correlate responses with patient genotype.

The aim of this present study is to test the feasibility and toxicity of individualized hypofractionated radiotherapy, and to report outcome data. In case this phase II trial has favorable results, a phase II/III trial on maximally tolerable, individualized, hypofractionated radiotherapy within a shorter overall-treatment time is aimed for.

This phase 1 clinical trial is intended to understand the safety and tolerability of a new anticancer drug in subjects with advanced solid tumors. The patients who qualify for the study will receive a once daily dose of the drug taken by mouth and will undergo several tests to measure the drug in the blood and to understand the safety, tolerability and any effect of the drug on the tumor. The antitumor effect of the drug is not known in human.

To assess the efficacy and safety of PF-3512676 administered in combination with pemetrexed for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have failed one prior chemotherapy regimen

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine together with imatinib mesylate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the combination of oxaliplatin and irinotecan (CPT-11) in patients with previously untreated, advanced small cell lung cancer.
