Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for certified medical advice, visits or professional assistance using a real physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia Clinical research trials and Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia. Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Zileuton in Preventing Lung Cancer in Patients With Bronchial Dysplasia

For Condition: Laryngeal Cancer,lip and oral cavity cancer,Hypopharyngeal Cancer,Oropharyngeal Cancer,Nasopharyngeal Cancer,Lung Cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of zileuton may be an effective way to prevent lung cancer in patients who have bronchialdysplasia. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase II trial to study the effectiveness of zileuton in preventing lung cancer in patients who have bronchial dysplasia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the efficacy of zileuton, in terms of number of sites and grade of dysplastic lesions in the bronchial epithelium, in patients with documented bronchial dysplasia. - Correlate the regression of bronchial dysplasia (number and grade) and improvement in sputum cytology with the modulation of molecular biomarkers in patients treated with this drug. - Determine the overall toxicity of this drug in these patients. - Determine the 6-month stability of the chemopreventive effect of zileuton in patients who are randomized to receive initial treatment with this drug. - Determine the 6-month natural history of bronchial dysplasia in patients who are randomized to receive initial treatment with a placebo. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to clinical site, smoking status (current vs recently quit smoker), and prior cancer (none vs lung or head and neck). All patients receive oral placebo 4 times daily for 2 weeks. Patients who exhibit sufficient compliance are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive oral zileuton 4 times daily for 6 months followed by oral placebo 4 times daily for an additional 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo 4 times daily for 6 months followed by oral zileuton 4 times daily for an additional 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at 4 weeks. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 134 patients (67 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 1-2 years.
