First Line Trials

1.First-line Treatment of Participants With Stage IV Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Necitumumab and Gemcitabine-Cisplatin (SQUIRE)

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00981058

The research study is testing the investigational drug necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study is to determine if necitumumab (IMC-11F8), given together with a standard chemotherapy combination consisting of cisplatin and gemcitabine will be more effective in improving patient disease than the standard chemotherapy combination alone.

This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants

2. Safety Study of Cetuximab in Combination With Cisplatin and Vinorelbine to Treat Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01109524

The purpose of the study is to determine if U.S. manufactured Cetuximab can be safely used for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in combination with Cisplatin and Vinorelbine

3. An Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed With or Without Cixutumumab as First-Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01232452

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that cixutumumab given in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed is superior to cisplatin and pemetrexed as first-line therapy for patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants

4. Trial of Gemcitabine/Carboplatin With or Without Iniparib (SAR240550) (a PARP1 Inhibitor) in Subjects With Previously Untreated Stage IV Squamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ECLIPSE)

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01082549

Purpose: To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced squamous cell lung cancer receiving the combination of gemcitabine/carboplatin either with or without Iniparib

6. A Study of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel With or Without MEDI-575 in Adults With Previously Untreated, Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01268059

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose, antitumor activity, safety and pharmacology of MEDI-575 in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in subjects with previously untreated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

7. A Study of Pemetrexed & Carboplatin/Cisplatin or Gemcitabine & Carboplatin/Cisplatin With or Without IMC-1121B in Patients Previously Untreated With Recurrent or Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01160744

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer have a better outcome when treated with 1121B in combination with pemetrexed + carboplatin/cisplatin or gemcitabine + carboplatin/cisplatin then when treated with pemetrexed + carboplatin/cisplatin or gemcitabine + carboplatin/cisplatin alone.

8. Trial in Extensive-Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) Subjects Comparing Ipilimumab Plus Etoposide and Platinum Therapy to Etoposide and Platinum Therapy Alone

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01450761

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the addition of Ipilimumab to Etoposide and Platinum therapy will extend the lives of patients with Extensive-Stage Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) more than Etoposide and Platinum therapy alone.
