NCT00455052
This amended expansion phase of the protocol is to further the experience at a dose level of 150 mg CPT eq/m2 in patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to test for preliminary anti-tumor activity in these tumor types. The MTD was initially defined as 113 mg CPT equivalents(eq)/m2 in the dose escalation part of the study. However, in the initial expansion phase (Protocol Amendment 11), 11 patients (10 NSCLC patients and 1 gastric cancer patients) were dosed at 113 mg CPT eq/m2 and less bone marrow toxicity was observed as compared to more heavily pre-treated patients in the dose escalation part of the study. Therefore, this amended expansion phase will investigate the safety and anti-tumor effects of a dose of 150 mg CPT eq/m2. The study will also determine: * The safety and tolerability of XMT-1001 at 150 mg CPT eq/m2 * The pharmacokinetics (PK) of XMT-1001 (how XMT-1001 behaves in the body) in patients Stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer * Evidence of XMT-1001 anti-tumor activity at 150 mg CPT eq/m2
NCT01460134
This is a study of CDX-1127, a therapy that targets the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects. The study enrolls patients with hematologic cancers (certain leukemias and lymphomas), as well as patients with select types of solid tumors.
NCT03416972
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in Canada. For approximately 30% of patients that present with locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the standard treatment is curative-intent concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Outcomes remain poor, with 5-year survival of only 20%. Despite the long-held belief that higher radiation doses lead to improved overall survival (OS), the landmark randomized trial (RTOG 0617) showed the opposite. The investigators hypothesize that the inferior survival observed may be due to unexpected heart toxicity as secondary analysis revealed that the heart dose was a strong predictor of inferior OS. Up to now, change in heart function is typically detected histologically, requiring autopsy tissue. Therefore, a non-invasive marker of early heart damage is required. Hybrid PET-MRI has become available in Canada only recently. The ability to simultaneously perform metabolic imaging with functional and tissue imaging allows for novel assessment of heart toxicity. The primary objective is to examine the utility of hybrid PET-MRI and DCE-CT to assess acute changes in heart function and to measure inflammation before, and six weeks after NSCLC radiotherapy. A pilot of 20 patients with Stage I-III NSCLC will be enrolled. The findings of this study will aid in the design of new studies to reassess dose escalation for locally advanced NSCLC while limiting the risk of heart toxicity. FDG PET will be used to simultaneously assess both cardiac inflammation and tumour response. Quantitative DCE-CT will also be used to measure ventilation and perfusion changes in the normal lung and tumour after radiotherapy, providing image data that can comprehensively assess both tumour response and potential toxicity in both the heart and lungs. Such information is crucial in understanding the disease and its response to treatment. This data will also aid in the design of radiation techniques that spare the heart in other patients with any thoracic malignancies, including breast cancer, lymphoma, and esophageal cancer.
NCT00553462
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Erlotinib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with radiation therapy and erlotinib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with radiation therapy and erlotinib works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
NCT00323089
The objective of this study is to determine if subcentimetre pulmonary nodules can be accurately and safely excised by endoscopic stapling devices after they have been localized using CT and marked with a microcoil device. The addition of real-time CT imaging and insertion of platinum microcoil markers to the technique of video assisted thoracoscopic stapled resection of subcentimetre pulmonary nodules, will decrease the rate of open thoracotomies required to completely resect the nodules.
NCT03391557
Background and Objectives: Elastography can reflect the difference of tissue hardness, which helps to identify the difference of hardness between benign and malignant tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of endobronchial ultrasound elastography in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrathoracic lymph nodes. Materials and Methods: A total of 42 patients with intrathoracic lymphadenopathy required for EBUS-TBNA examination were prospectively enrolled. Firstly, All patients were evaluated by enhanced chest CT examination,the EBUS B-mode ultrasound and EBUS-guided elastography before EBUS-TBNA.Then, the investigators evaluated every lymph node by describing the characteristics of the CT image (Short diameter, texture, shape, boundary ,mean CT value), B-mode ultrasound (short diameter, echo characteristic, shape, boundary) and elastography (image type, grading score, strain rate, blue area ratio). Finally, the pathological results were used as the gold standard. the investigators compare the characteristics of the 3 evaluating methods alone and in combination between benign and malignant lymph nodes.
NCT02257619
The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of itacitinib in combination with docetaxel and to select doses for further evaluation (Part 1, safety run-in portion).
NCT02134015
1. Part A: Subjects will receive Patritumab or placebo with erlotinib. Progression-free survival will be the primary outcome. Subjects will need to have Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) wild-type, locally advance or metastatic NSCLC and have their cancer progressed after at least one prior systemic anti-cancer therapy, available recent or archival tumor specimen and may not have had previous EGFR-targeted regimen, anti-HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2), anti-HER3, or anti-HER4 therapy. Subjects may have high heregulin or low heregulin. 2. Part B: Subjects will receive Patritumab or placebo with erlotinib. Overall survival will be the primary outcome. Subjects will need to have EGFR wild-type, locally advance or metastatic NSCLC and have their cancer progressed after at least one prior systemic anti-cancer therapy, available recent or archival tumor specimen and may not have had previous EGFR-targeted regimen, anti-HER2, anti-HER3, or anti-HER4 therapy. Only subjects with high heregulin will be enrolled.
NCT02734524
The main purpose of this study is to explore if the combination of autologous NK cell infusion and chemotherapy can increase the therapeutic efficiency in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer compared with chemotherapy alone.
NCT03402464
The study was to evaluate the safety, PFS and ORR of icotinib/dihydroaremisinin (DHA)-based combination therapy in EGFR-mutated, advanced NSCLC patients who have gradually progressed disease after first-line icotinib treatment.
NCT03399669
Although EGFR-TKIs such as gefitinib, erlotinib or afatinib are recommended as first-line therapy in patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC patients who have known active EGFR mutation and achieved response to EGFR TKIs experience disease progression eventually with 10-14 moths of median progression free survival.6 Platinum-doublets combination chemotherapy remains standard of care for patients with progressive disease. However, patients may derive benefit from EGFR TKIs after RECIST-assessed progression especially for those who experience slow progression. And previous report suggested that premature discontinuation of EGFR TKIs has resulted in rapid progression in symptoms and tumor growth.7 Recently, a prospective phase II single arm study in Asian patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC to determine the continuation of erlotinib beyond progression judged by investigators showed that additional PFS of 3.1 months can be achieved with continuation of erlotinib without serious additional toxicities.8 Until now, no prospective study has been conducted for gefitinib. In this study the continuation of gefitinib beyond RECIST progression will be investigated to determine the clinical outcomes including the duration of treatment and safety. This is a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuation of gefitinib in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients who experience RECIST progression. Based on the results of "ASPIRATION" study, the median PFS for continuation of gefitinib will be around 3 months. The study treatment will be of no interest if the true median PFS is 2.5 months or shorter. In contrast, it will be of interest if the true median PFS is 3.5 months or longer. Considering 1 sided alpha of 0.05 and 90% of power, 95 patients are required. A total of 100 patients will be needed considering 5% of drop-out rate. 6 months of accrual and additional 6 months of follow-up will be assumed for this study. Patients will be treated 250 mg/day of gefitinib orally (1 cycle for 28 days). Cycles were repeated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or until the patient or the investigator requested therapy discontinuation.
NCT00387660
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and carboplatin, 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 irinotecan together with carboplatin works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent small cell lung cancer.
NCT01336842
The purpose of this study is to find out if panobinostat taken with cisplatin and pemetrexed can be used safely without increasing side effects and that the combination will have a better effect than platinum-based doublet chemotherapy alone.
NCT03384680
This study is conducted to collect the symptoms of lung cancer patients and to observe the relationship with proteomics.
NCT03389815
The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of WX-0593 alone in the treatment of advanced cancer.
NCT00369070
The purpose of this study is to estimate the difference in objective response rates between each paclitaxel/carboplatin plus AMG 706 arm (Arm A and B) and paclitaxel/carboplatin plus bevacizumab arm (Arm C) in subjects with advanced non-squamous NSCLC.
NCT00365547
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as Avastin (bevacizumab), can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving topotecan together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving topotecan together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that did not respond to previous systemic chemotherapy.
NCT00281827
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Thalidomide may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving carboplatin and gemcitabine together with thalidomide before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin and gemcitabine together with thalidomide works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT02168036
