Lung Cancer
Concurrent Proton and Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Stage IIIA/B Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if proton radiotherapy given with standard chemotherapy (such as paclitaxel and carboplatin) can help to control locally advanced NSCLC.
- Trial name
- NCT00495170
- Testing
- Carboplatin, Proton Radiotherapy, Paclitaxel
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 84 people

Lung Cancer
Radiation Therapy Combined With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
- Trial name
- NCT00023673
- Testing
- carboplatin, paclitaxel, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
- Where
- 41 sites in United States, Canada
- Volunteers
- 63 people

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if escalated/accelerated proton radiotherapy can improve the control of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and decrease side effects.
- Trial name
- NCT00495040
- Testing
- Proton Radiotherapy
- Where
- 2 sites in United States
