SWOG-9416: Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery in Treating Patients With Stage III 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. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy using cisplatin and etoposide, radiation therapy, and surgery, with adjuvant therapy using cisplatin and etoposide, in treating patients who have stage III non-small cell lung...

Irinotecan and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: To determine if CPT-11 given together with cisplatin is effective in treating recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.

S0227 Cisplatin With Either Paclitaxel or Gemcitabine in Recurrent, Persistent, or Metastatic Cervical Cancer
Withdrawn
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 whether cisplatin is more effective when combined with paclitaxel or gemcitabine in treating cervical cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of cisplatin combined with paclitaxel to that of cisplatin combined with gemcitabine in treating women who have recurrent, persi...

A Study of Telatinib in Combination With Chemotherapy in Subjects With Advanced Gastric Cancer
Completed
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the anti-tumor activity, safety, and tolerability of telatinib when used in combination with chemotherapy (capecitabine and cisplatin) as first-line therapy in subjects with advanced gastric cancer. The primary objective is to assess progression free survival (PFS) in subjects receiving telatinib in combination with chemotherapy (capecitabine and cisplatin). The secondary objectives are to assess overall survival, overall response rate, safety and tol... Read More

S0216, Combination Chemotherapy and RT in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Head and Neck Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV head and neck cancer.

Fludeoxyglucose F18 Positron Emission Tomography Imaging In Assessing Patients Before and After Treatment for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Unknown
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as fludeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography (\^18FDG-PET), may improve the ability to detect disease progression and help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well \^18FDG-PET imaging works in detecting disease progression and determining response to treatment in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Therapy for Children With Advanced Stage High Risk Neuroblastoma
Completed
This is a Phase II pilot study of chemotherapy and surgery for children with advanced stage high-risk neuroblastoma utilizing topotecan during an upfront window and other active agents during induction and intensification phases. The primary purpose is to estimate the response rate to an upfront window of two cycles of intravenous topotecan. We hypothesize that the topotecan window will be an effective therapy in terms of the response rate.
