Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

To determine the safety of Alimta when used with chemoradiation in inoperable non small cell lung cancer

A multi-center study of bevacizumab in combination with gemcitabine and carboplatin as treatment for newly-diagnosed advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Protocol AMP-010 is a Phase 1b study of imexon plus docetaxel for patients with previously treated breast cancer, previously treated lung cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer. Docetaxel is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a second line therapy for these cancers. The imexon is administered on days 1-5 and the docetaxel on day 1 of every 3 week cycle. The objective of the protocol is to determine the highest dose of imexon which can be given with a full dose of docetaxel, and to provide information to enable the design of a future study focused on one or more specific cancer types.

A phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of the combination of Pemetrexed and Carboplatin in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out if giving oral HYCAMTIN to patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer benefits them. The study will compare how long patients live when they are given therapy to make them feel better (active symptom control) to the length of time patients live when they are also receiving oral HYCAMTIN.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, carboplatin, and paclitaxel 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with carboplatin followed by paclitaxel works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carboplatin together with docetaxel after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

This is an open-label dose escalation trial using ABI-007 plus carboplatin.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel works in treating patients with recurrent stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

This trial is studying two different schedules of docetaxel and bortezomib to compare how well they work in treating patients with progressive or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving docetaxel together with bortezomib may kill more tumor cells
