We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician on CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical research trials and CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer healthcare trials happen in a lot of of localities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the potency of new drugs. The aim of the studies / undertakings is to answer particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all kinds of circumstances, such as CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer. CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to get healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the general public. Most times the participants receive treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects often receive the most effective healthcare possible for their CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and may include more or frequent dr. calls, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-threatening), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer



CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

For Condition: extensive stage small cell lung cancer
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of different doses of CCI-779 in treating patients who have extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the progression-free survival of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer treated with CCI-779. - Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to brain metastases (yes vs no), prior induction chemotherapy regimen (platinum and etoposide vs platinum and irinotecan), and response to prior induction chemotherapy (complete or partial response vs stable disease). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive low-dose CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes once weekly. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive high-dose CCI-779 as in arm I. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients (40 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 2.7-3.2 years.
