Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Rationale: Vaccines made from gene-modified tumor cells may help the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy is more effective than a placebo as maintenance therapy in treatment of subjects with non-small cell lung cancer. Purpose: This randomized phase III trial is studying vaccine therapy to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating subjects with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

This study drug(Amrubicin)is believed to work by stopping the tumor cell in your body from growing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of amrubicin with cisplatin compared to etoposide-cisplatin in the first-line treatment in extensive disease small cell lung cancer The subject, who is randomized to AP group may be involved into a pharmacokinetic study of amrubicin and the metabolites: amrubicinol voluntarily.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying celecoxib in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors learn how well patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well a laboratory test predicts response to erlotinib in patients with metastatic or unresectable non-small cell lung cancer that did not respond to previous treatment.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the overall response rate (complete response + partial response) to a combination of bavituximab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months of ramucirumab administered in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line therapy for Stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus bevacizumab in patients with pretreated, advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

This study is designed to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ABT-869 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in the treatment of subjects with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy is more effective in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of two radiation therapy regimens and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the response of lung tumors to radiation therapy. This study will be using a type of radiation therapy called tomotherapy. Tomotherapy is a relatively new kind of therapy which is able to focus a large amount of radiation to a small area with relatively less radiation to the surrounding non-cancerous part of the organ. This study is being done to find out if this technique is able to control the cancer better or not than the standard radiation and also to study its safety.
