Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung"

This is a prospective phase II trial, in patients with unresectable or metastatic NSCLC using chemotherapy regimens which will be defined according to the mRNA expression of ERCC1 and RRM1 of the tumor cells.

This is a consolidation therapy trial evaluating GI-4000 in subjects with NSCLC treated with curative intent who are disease free at their first post-treatment restaging assessment.

This is a randomized clinical trial of Paclitaxel (Genexol®) and Cisplatin versus Paclitaxel loaded polymeric micelle (Genexol-PM®) and Cisplatin in advanced non small cell lung cancer.

The main purpose of this study is to describe activity and toxicity of single-agent gemcitabine given as prolonged infusion, and of two 2-drug combinations containing cisplatin (cisplatin + vinorelbine, and cisplatin + gemcitabine) in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer

To assess the antitumour activity (response rate) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of two different combinations of docetaxel and gemcitabine and of a sequential treatment of cisplatin /gemcitabine followed by docetaxel as first line chemotherapy · To evaluate the quantitative and qualitative toxicity of each treatment arms.· To determine time to progression, duration of response, time to treatment failure, and overall survival in each group.· To evaluate changes from baseline in the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale of patients in each treatment arm.

Vaccination with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with allogeneic melanoma cell lysate (MelCancerVac) in combination with the Cox-2 inhibitor of celecoxib for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Adjuvant Aldara cream will be used as adjuvant for induction of inflammation at the injection site, and the lymphocyte growth factor of interleukin-2 (IL-2) will be given as s.c. injection. The treatment aims at boosting the patient's specific immune system against the cancer cells.

This study is being conducted in order to determine if intratumoral chemotherapy will be helpful in the palliation of endobronchial tumors when used in conjunction with endobronchial brachytherapy.

The objective of this proposal is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a lifestyle risk reduction intervention for patients with lung cancer receiving surgical treatment. This study will provide the preliminary data needed to conduct a larger randomized controlled trial that tests an innovative, multidisciplinary intervention that has the potential to transform the standard of care for patients receiving surgical treatment for lung cancer.

The optimal strategy in advanced non small cell lung cancer with stable disease is not well known. There is no published study assessing an early change of chemotherapeutic drugs in these patients.Accordingly, we conduct this trial with the objective to improve the rate of objective responses by the switch to another doublet after 2 cycles of CDDP-gemcitabine association for patients with stable diseases (SD).

Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancers comprising a mediastinal ganglionic invasion N2 account for 20 to 30% of the NSCLCs. They are almost always potentially resectable, but the results obtained by surgery alone or surgery followed by chemotherapy (CT) and/or radiotherapy (RT) are insufficient. The neoadjuvant approach was tested, in randomized tests of exclusive CT, or in noncomparative tests of RT-CT.
