Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials Facts presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, calls or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your doctor on Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB 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 Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical research trials and Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / undertakings is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all kinds of conditions, including Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Many times the test subjects get treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nonetheless, and could include extra or frequent dr. calls, health hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer



Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

For Condition: large cell lung cancer,stage 3B non-small cell lung cancer,squamous cell lung cancer,adenocarcinoma of the lung
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Southwest 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 II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine survival and time to treatment failure in patients with stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer treated with induction docetaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy followed by consolidation docetaxel. - Determine the response rate in these patients when treated with this regimen. - Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive induction chemotherapy comprising docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36 and cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 29, and 36. Patients also undergo concurrent radiotherapy daily, 5 days per week, for 6.5 weeks. At least 1 week and no more than 4 weeks after completion of induction chemoradiotherapy, patients with stable or responding disease receive docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 2 months for 1 year, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 1 year. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 patients will be accrued for this study within 30 months.
