Radiotherapy Trials

1.High-Dose or Standard-Dose Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy With or Without Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00533949

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying high-dose or standard-dose radiation therapy given together with chemotherapy with or without cetuximab to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and if Overall Survival is improved.

4.Trial to Evaluate the Improvement in Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Radiation With or Without Brachytherapy (BRACHY)

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01351116

Purpose: A trial to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by evaluating the symptomatic improvements in lung cancer patients receiving external radiation with or without high dose internal radiation.

5.Phase I/II Study of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Medically Inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) or Metastatic Lung Tumours

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00351962

Purpose: Medically inoperable lung cancer or metastatic lung tumours will be treated with fractionated stereotactic radiation using a schedule of 1) 12 Gy x 4 treatments or 2) 6 Gy x 10 treatments.

6. Cisplatin, Etoposide, and Two Different Schedules of Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00433563

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known which schedule of radiation therapy is more effective when given together with chemotherapy in treating small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of radiation therapy to compare how well they work when given together with cisplatin and etoposide in treating patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer

7. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00750269

 

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumour and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

8. Individual Boosting in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using Hypofraction, Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy and Respiratory Gating

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00690963
 

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of custom designed intensity-modulated radiotherapy (based on individual tumoranatomy) with regular chepotherapy, will be safe enough to allow further intensification of radiation treatment.

9. Stereotactic Radiation Therapy With or Without Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00377156
 

This randomized phase III trial is studying stereotactic radiation therapy and whole-brain radiation therapy to see how well they work compared with stereotactic radiation therapy alone in treating patients with brain metastases.

11. Phase I/II Study of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00888823
 

A new type of treatment called stereotactic radiotherapy has recently been developed in hopes of improving the success of the treatment and improving the convenience to patients, while reducing the side effects. This study is developing stereotactic radiotherapy as a state-of-the-art treatment for lung cancer patients.
