Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical research trials and Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Combination Chemotherapy and Celecoxib in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
For Condition: stage 3B non-small cell lung cancer,recurrent non-small cell lung cancer,stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center , 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. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining celecoxib with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining irinotecan and docetaxel with celecoxib in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the recommended phase II dose of docetaxel and irinotecan in combination with celecoxib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. - Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. - Determine the response rate of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. - Correlate angiogenesis markers (intratumoral microvessel density and vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] expression and serum VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 expression with response and survival in patients treated with this regimen. - Correlate UGT1A1 genotype and CYP3A4 activity with the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of docetaxel and irinotecan. - Patients receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes and irinotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Patients also receive oral celecoxib twice daily beginning on day 2. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of docetaxel and irinotecan until the recommended phase II dose is determined. The recommended phase II dose is defined as the highest dose at which 0 of 3 or 1 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. - Phase II: Patients receive treatment as in phase I at the recommended phase II dose. Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-70 patients (3-36 for phase I and 16-34 for phase II) will be accrued for this study.
