Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical research trials and Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer healthcare trials happen in many 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 drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Celecoxib and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer



Celecoxib and Docetaxel 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,stage 3A non-small cell lung cancer
Status: Suspended
Sponsor(s): Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Celecoxib may slow the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining celecoxib and docetaxel in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has been previously treated with platinum -based chemotherapy.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy and feasibility of celecoxib combined with docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. II. Determine the response rate of patients treated with this regimen. III. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral celecoxib twice daily (beginning on day -7 of the first course) and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses after CR. Patients who achieve stable disease (SD) or a partial response (PR) receive a minimum of 2 additional courses after SD or PR. At the discretion of the treating physician, patients then receive maintenance therapy comprising celecoxib only. Patients who discontinue therapy for disease progression or unacceptable toxicity are followed for at least 6 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-39 patients will be accrued for this study within 13-28 months.
