Irinotecan and Carboplatin as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: The general results of combining irinotecan and platin-based chemotherapies have been very encouraging. As the toxicity profile associated with carboplatin is preferable over cisplatin it is our expectation that patients and physicians would prefer to use this combination if it is equally or more efficacious. To date there has been no agreement regarding the optimal combination of these agents. Based on the trials described in the protocol and our experience with carboplatin/irinoteca... Read More

Dose Dense Carboplatin, Taxotere and Herceptin As Primary Systemic Therapy in Breast Cancer
Completed
Dose dense therapy has been shown to increase survival in the adjuvant setting of breast cancer. It is unknown if dose dense therapy will improve survival in tumors that express her-2. This study evaluates a neoadjuvant regimen containing carboplatin, taxotere and herceptin when used in a dose dense manner in patients with large breast cancers. The endpoint of pathologic complete response is used as a surrogate marker for survival.

Radiation Therapy, Chemotherapy, and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent, Unresectable or Stage III or Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Terminated
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab... Read More

Pilot Study of the Safety & Efficacy of Two Docetaxel-Based Regimens Plus Bevacizumab for the Adjuvant Treatment of Subjects With Node Positive or High Risk Node Negative Breast Cancer
Completed
This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter, pilot study of the safety and efficacy of two Docetaxel-based regimens plus bevacizumab for the adjuvant treatment of participants with node positive or high risk node negative breast cancer. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the cardiac safety, and the secondary objectives were to evaluate safety and toxicity of participants treated with bevacizumab ± trastuzumab administered with 2 different docetaxel-based combination regimens....

Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Hodgkin's Disease
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who ha... Read More

Chemotherapy, Filgrastim, and Stem Cell Transplantation With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Breast Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Combining chemotherapy with autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. R... Read More
