Active clinical trials for "Lung Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether high-dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell or bone marrow transplant is more effective than chemotherapy alone in treating small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell or bone marrow transplant works compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with limited-stage or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Lometrexol may stop or slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Folic acid may be effective in preventing or lessening the side effects of lometrexol. Combining lometrexol with folic acid may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining lometrexol with folic acid in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has been previously treated.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Treatment plus supportive care may improve quality of life in patients undergoing cancer treatment. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to compare the effect of different gemcitabine regimens plus supportive care on quality of life in patients who have locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

In patients with locally advanced stage III non-small cell lung cancer, the probability of local control remains low (about 17% at 1 year). Concomitant radio-chemotherapy is the standard treatment. An increase in total radiotherapy dose (from 66 to 74 Gray) has been proposed to improve local control, with contradictory results. Relevant FDG-PET scan images can be acquired during radio-chemotherapy, with a demonstrated prognostic impact and recently in a multicentre prospective study. A significant reduction in FDG uptake / volume (metabolic response) suggests that the radiotherapy target volume could be reduced during radiotherapy possibly improving organs at risk tolerance. Conversely, a lack of metabolic response may justify treatment intensification before the end of radiotherapy. The investigators hypothesis is to investigate the individual tumour heterogeneity on FDG-PET during radio-chemotherapy to reduce the volume to a biological target that could receive a higher total dose (personalized dose redistribution).

This single arm Phase II trial will investigate the feasibility of dietary flaxseed (FS) supplementation in subjects receiving definitive chemoradiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Subjects will ingest FS for a period of approximately 8 to 9 weeks during the course of radiation treatment. Study participation and surveillance will last approximately 6 months. Subject specimen collection will include: blood, urine, and buccal swabs at 5 time points.

The purpose of this multi-center clinical trial is to verify more effective on local control of malignant pleural effusions in NSCLC patients by thoracic cavity perfusion of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 injection and recombinant human Endostatin injection (Endostar) compared with cisplatin perfusion, with acceptable side effects.

Open-label, multicentre phase Ib/IIa study of AZD2014 administered with selumetinib. There are two parts to this study: a dose-escalation part in treatment-refractory advanced solid tumours and a subsequent separate expansion cohort part for TNBC, squamous cell lung cancers, non-squamous cell lung cancers with KRAS mutations and non-squamous cell lung cancers with wild-type KRAS

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of neoadjuvant with radical surgery on the prognosis of patients with stage II and IIIA small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The primary endpoint of this study is to observe 5-year survival, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients. Secondary efficacy indicators include recurrence rate, surgical complications, resection rate, quality of life (QoL), and exploration biomarker (tumor tissue). This is a two-arm, open, multicentral clinical study designed to assess the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus radical surgery for stage II and IIIA small cell lung cancer (SCLC). About 300 patients will be enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups of 150 individuals. The neoadjuvant with radical surgery group received 2 to 4 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment with etoposide plus cisplatin/carboplatin before receiving radical surgery, followed by 2 to 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy (etoposide with cisplatin/carboplatin) plus radiotherapy. Patients in the control group are planned to receive 4 to 6 courses of etoposide plus cisplatin/carboplatin for chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Based on the existing research results, Osimertinibi is effective not only for patients with sensitizing EGFR mutations, but also for other less common EGFR mutations. However, no studies have been done so far regarding the difference in efficacy of various EGFR mutation subtypes. Meanwhile, the presenting studies data of the safety and efficacy of Osimertinib as first-line therapy for NSCLC is very limited. Therefore, this study aims at assessing the safety and efficacy of Osimertinib as First-line therapy for patients with EGFR mutation-positive locally advanced or Metastatic Non-squamous NSCLC as well as the its difference in efficacy of various EGFR mutation subtypes.

This registry is intended to measure the effect of myPlan Lung Cancer™ test has on influencing treatment decisions of Oncologists when added to standard clinical-pathological parameters in patients with early stage NSCLC. The sponsor is conducting two parallel registries, with one directed at Surgeons (ONC003) and the other at Oncologists (ONC006). This registry is specific to Oncologists (ONC006).
