VELCADE in Previously Treated Patients With Stage IIIB and IV Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma (BAC) and Adenocarcinoma With BAC Features
Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of VELCADE in patients with previously treated stage IIIB and IV bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar features.
Description
Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and adenocarcinoma with bronchioloalveolar features are distinct subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer which are difficult to treat in advanced stages. This study will determine the safety and efficacy of VELCADE therapy in patients with advanced BAC or adenocarcinoma with BAC features who have failed epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI) therapy.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Carcinoma, Bronchogenic
Malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelium of the BRONCHI. It represents a large group of epithelial lung malignancies which can be divided into two clinical groups: SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER and NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CARCINOMA.
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
A form of highly malignant lung cancer that is composed of small ovoid cells (SMALL CELL CARCINOMA).
Carcinoma, Non-small-cell Lung
A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA; ADENOCARCINOMA; and LARGE CELL CARCINOMA. They are dealt with collectively because of their shared treatment strategy.
Carcinoma, Small Cell
An anaplastic, highly malignant, and usually bronchogenic carcinoma composed of small ovoid cells with scanty neoplasm. It is characterized by a dominant, deeply basophilic nucleus, and absent or indistinct nucleoli. (From Stedman, 25th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1286-7)
Carcinoma, Lewis Lung
A carcinoma discovered by Dr. Margaret R. Lewis of the Wistar Institute in 1951. This tumor originated spontaneously as a carcinoma of the lung of a C57BL mouse. The tumor does not appear to be grossly hemorrhagic and the majority of the tumor tissue is a semifirm homogeneous mass. (From Cancer Chemother Rep 2 1972 Nov;(3)1:325) It is also called 3LL and LLC and is used as a transplantable malignancy.
