Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

Compare the effect and safety of gefitinib alone with gefitinib plus concomitant WBRT(whole-brain radiotherapy ) in treatment of NSCLC patients harboring an EGFR mutation with multiple BM. Verify the failure pattern of NSCLC patients harboring an EGFR mutation with multiple BM. Explore the rescuable therapy after progression of disease.

The role of sublobar resection(Wedge resection or anatomic segmentectomy) for small(≤ 2cm) early stage non-small cell lung cancer has been studied by Lung Cancer Study Group and is being studied by several ongoing trials. However, elderly patients(aged ≥70 years) in these trials is under-represented, as in most of the ongoing clinical trials. This study focuses on the elderly population of early stage lung cancer, and aims to investigate the outcome of lobectomy versus sublobar resection for peripheral stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in elderly patients.

The purpose of this study is studying induction nimotuzumab plus gemcitabine and carboplatin followed by surgery to see how well it works in treating patients with unresectable stage III squamous cell lung carcinoma.

Research purpose: Degree of continuous intravenous pumping Endostar (human recombinant endostatin) combination chemotherapy regimens including cisplatin two medicine first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (with the exception of EGFR/ALK mutations) efficacy and safety.

This is a multicentre randomised double-blind phase II trial, sponsored by Gustave Roussy and involving one French center as well as the Spanish Lung Cancer Group (≈20 centers of the SLCG). Six hundred patients with diagnosis of stage IIIB/IV NSCLC will initially be registered prior to receiving the first line platinum-based chemotherapy or during or at the end of the first 6 cycles of inducation platinium based chemotherapy and provide consent for retrieving archival tissue collection and providing translational blood samples and tumor biopsies. - Induction chemotherapy phase All patients will initially be treated with 6 cycles of platinum-based induction chemotherapy. Cycle duration will be 21 days. Doublets should either consist of a pemetrexed-platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) doublet (preferentially for non-squamous NSCLC) or a gemcitabine - or vinorelbine - platinum doublet for squamous NSCLC. Taxanes-platinum doublets will not be accepted. Translational blood samples will be taken at the beginning of induction chemotherapy for all patients. Patients displaying progressive disease or stable disease after induction chemotherapy will be withdrawn and further optimally managed according to local practice. For them, an optional tumour biopsy will be performed at the end of the induction treatment. - Randomisation and maintenance phase Only patients who respond to platinum-based induction chemotherapy will be further randomised between olaparib and placebo. These patients must have been treated with 6 cycles of chemotherapy. However, patients who haven't received 6 cycles of the induction chemotherapy due to severe toxicity (grade 3 or 4, NCI CTCAE v4.0) could be randomized only if they had received 4 chemotherapy cycles at least and if all treatment related toxicities are resolved to a grade ≤ 1 (NCI CTCAE v4.0). Treatment will be administered at a dose of 600 mg daily (2 doses of 300 mg [2 tablets of 150 mg] taken approximately 12 hours apart) and cycle duration will be 28 days. Disease will be assessed every 2 cycles by CTscan (MRI or PET-scan if the scan is not contributive) and treatment will be administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will then be optimally managed according to local practice. Follow-up will be for a minimum of 15 months from the time of randomization, and until last venue. All randomised patients will be asked to provide translational blood samples at randomization, on treatment and at the end of the treatment. Optional tumour biopsies will be performed at randomization, at the end of the treatment (or at disease progression if available).

To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of patients with inoperable squamous cell lung cancer treated with pemetrexed plus cisplatin with concurrent radiation therapy followed by docetaxel consolidation. An exploratory biomarker analysis in blood and tumor samples is also planned.

This study is designed to apply various scans such as functional imaging, Fluorodeoxyglucose_Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET), 62Cu-ETS (Copper) PET, Ventilation/Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (V/Q SPECT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT/CT, and pulmonary function tests before, during and after treatment to see if it predicts how well the treatment works for your cancer and how well your lungs function during treatment. A Computerized Tomography (CT) will also be performed along with both of these procedures to help the researchers see clearly where your cancer or your healthy lung is located. The researchers also perform blood tests in this study to look for markers in your blood to see if it helps them determine your risk of developing side effects from radiation to the lungs. They will also measure your health-related quality of life before, during and after treatment. The researchers hope that this study will help them in the future to design radiation treatment plans that provide the best treatment for each individual patient.

The investigators hypothesized that NSCL patients receiving therapy based on their baseline tumor markers levels would attain higher response rates than patients in the control arm receiving non customized therapy. patients with stage IIIA(N2) NSCLC will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to customized therapy based on biomarkers status (ERCC1, RRM1, TS and EGFR mutation) vs standard chemotherapy. The primary objective of this multicenter trial is to compare pathological complete response of all subjects randomized, by treatment arm. Secondary objectives are to compare all randomized subjects by treatment arm for: response rate, disease-free survival, overall survival, one, two and three year survival and safety profile. The study is expected to demonstrate both the feasibility of this approach and the logistic problems associated with a biomarker-driven therapeutic strategy in NSCLC.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation with weekly docetaxel/cisplatin in patients with resectable IIIA-N2 NSCLC.

This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety between radiotherapy alone and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy after 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy in LS-SCLC.
