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

The investigators identified three cancer-testis antigens, as targets for cancer vaccination against lung cancer. In this clinical study, the investigators examine using a combination of three peptides from these three antigens (S-488410) the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of icotinib as adjuvant therapy in treating such patients. The primary endpoint is to compare the recurrence-free survival after 1-year or 2-year treatment with icotinib.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate S1 capsule plus Cisplatin as adjuvant treatment in stageⅡ and Ⅲa non-small cell lung cancer. It is the first study in the world to investigate the safety and efficacy of S1 capsule using in stageⅡ and Ⅲa non-small cell lung cancer patients after the complete resection.

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of endostatin combined with Docetaxel in advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) patients failure to first-line or second-line chemotherapy.

This an an open-label study to define the safety profile and the maximum tolerated dose and confirm the clinical effective dose of palifosfamide-tris given intravenously in combination with etoposide and carboplatin in a wide range of cancers which etoposide and carboplatin are normally given. Once the maximum dose of palifosfamide-tris is determined,a Phase II study using the 3 agents combined will begin.

The main objective of this trial is to compare feasibility and efficacy of sequential neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with 44Gy concomitant boost to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. Secondary objectives are to assess the value of position emission tomography (PET）in predicting pathological response and event-free survival（EFS）in stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Further to compare the amount of serum DNA in patients with stage IIIa NSCLC before, during and after chemotherapy, before and after radiotherapy (in arm A) and during follow-up in patients randomized into the trial and to correlate the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) variation with tumor response, remission duration and overall survival.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare cisplatin and etoposide with no chemotherapy in treating patients who have stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been surgically removed.

Nitroglycerin will increase the effectiveness of treatment with induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy by reducing chemo-radio resistance through an increased oxygen pressure in tumoral tissue. The combination treatment of nitroglycerin and chemotherapy will result in longer disease-free and over-all survival in patients with locally advanced NSCLC

To examine the feasibility of VATS lobectomy for clinical stage IB or II non-small cell lung cancer. Success is defined as VATS lobectomy without conversion. If success rate over 90%, VATS lobectomy is considered as feasible procedures for clinical stage IB or II non-small cell lung cancer

A phase II, multicenter, randomized trial of 3D Radiotherapy versus 3D Radiotherapy and erlotinib (Tarceva®) in patients with localized-unresectable (IA-IIIB) non-small cell lung cancer non susceptible for chemotherapy treatment, to compare safety and toxicity profile, and the progression-free survival in both arms of treatment (3D Radiotherapy versus 3D Radiotherapy + erlotinib) in patients who have not received previous chemotherapy.
