Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials Resources presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or professional assistance with a real medical. We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD about Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical research trials and Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer health trials occur in a lot of of places throughout 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 typically assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all varieties of circumstances, such as Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer. Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Most times the human subjects recieve professional assistance for free of charge, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects frequently get the finest healthcare available for their Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, medical dangers (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
For Condition: limited stage small cell lung cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Radiation Therapy 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. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effect on the body when combining irinotecan and cisplatin with radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer that could not be completely removed during surgery.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan administered with cisplatin and thoracic radiotherapy (given at two different schedules) in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer. - Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity and non-dose-limiting toxicity of these regimens in these patients. - Determine the reversibility of all toxic effects associated with these regimens in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, dose-escalation study of irinotecan. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 radiotherapy (RT) treatment groups. - Group I: Patients undergo thoracic RT twice daily, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. - Group II: Patients undergo thoracic RT once daily, 5 days a week, for 7 weeks. - Concurrent chemotherapy: Patients receive irinotecan IV over 60-90 minutes on days 1 and 8 and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 1 course for group I and 2 courses for group II. - Post RT chemotherapy: Patients receive irinotecan and cisplatin as above for 3 courses for group I and 2 courses, beginning after RT is complete, for group II. Sequential cohorts of 6 patients per group receive escalating doses of irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then 6 months for 4 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-36 patients (6-18 per group) will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
