Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Progressive Brain Tumors
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens and comparing how well they work in treating children with low-grade astrocytomas or other residual tumors of the brain.

Lobradimil and Carboplatin in Treating Children With Brain Tumors
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Lobradimil may increase the effectiveness of a chemotherapy drug by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboplatin and lobradimil in treating children with brain tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Men With Untreated Germ Cell Tumors
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not known whether combining chemotherapy with bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone in treating men with germ cell tumors. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating men with... Read More

Combination Chemotherapy and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Neuroblastoma
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying peripheral stem cell transplantation with treated peripheral stem cells following combination chemotherapy to see how well it works compared to peripheral stem cell trans...

S9900: Surgery With or Without Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known if surgery plus combination chemotherapy is more effective than surgery alone for non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery with or without combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have non-small cell lung cancer.

Erlotinib vs. Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)Performance Status (PS) 2
Completed
The purpose of this noncomparative study is to obtain preliminary estimates of the efficacy of erlotinib and standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced, previously untreated nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2. The study will also evaluate the safety of single-agent erlotinib in this patient population.

TLK286 (Telcyta) in Combination With Carboplatin (Paraplatin) Versus Doxil in Platinum Refractory or Resistant Ovarian Cancer
Completed
The purpose of this research study is to determine if TLK286 given in combination with carboplatin is more effective than liposomal doxorubicin in treating women who have recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer, that is refractory or resistant to platinum chemotherapy.

An Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancer Study for Patients That Have Not Received Prior Chemotherapy
Completed
This is a phase III randomized study comparing induction treatments of Gemcitabine and Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin, with or without consolidation therapy for patients that do not have any evidence of disease after completion of six cycles of induction therapy. Patients with disease after induction therapy will crossover to receive single agent therapy.
