Gemcitabine/Irinotecan/ZD1839 vs Paclitaxel/Carboplatin/Etoposide/ZD1839 in Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Site
Completed
In this randomized trial, we will investigate the activity and toxicity of two active regimens, gemcitabine/irinotecan and paclitaxel/carboplatin/Etoposide (both followed by ZD1839) in the first-line treatment of patients with carcinoma of unknown primary site.

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 (Tarceva) as a Single Agent or Intercalated With Combination Chemotherapy in Patients With EGFR Positive NSCLC
Completed
This will be the first prospective study where patients will be selected on the basis of two measures of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway. The study will assess prospectively the efficacy of erlotinib as a single agent or intercalated with chemotherapy in highly selected patients with EGFR overexpression and/or EGFR amplification.

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.

Chemotherapy Treatment in Re-occurring Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) After Previous Chemotherapy and Surgical Removal of the NSCLC Tumor
Terminated
The purpose of this study is to help answer: * Whether pemetrexed, gemcitabine and/or carboplatin can shrink tumor(s) or make tumor(s) disappear in patients with relapsed lung cancer (lung cancer that has come back after surgical removal and chemotherapy), and to determine how long this will last * Whether pemetrexed, gemcitabine and/or carboplatin can help patients with relapsed lung cancer live longer
