Filter by:This is a Phase 1/2, open-label first-in-human study of the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of BLU-451 monotherapy and BLU-451 in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed). All participants will receive BLU-451 on a 21-day treatment cycle.
A single arm observational study investigating the incidence of brain metastasis in patients with cancer recti and lung metastasis
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TY-9591 tablets in the treatment of EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain or leptomeningeal metastases.
Brain metastases occur in 30-50% of patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Pyrotinib is an irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/HER1, HER2, and HER4. This study consists of two parts. In a phase Ib part, investigators will explore the safety and tolerance of Pyrotinib Plus Capecitabine combined with brain radiotherapy. After completing the phase Ib part, investigators will review the data and decide whether this patient is included in before the start of a phase II part. In the phase II part, investigators will evaluate the efficacy of Pyrotinib Plus Capecitabine combined with brain radiotherapy in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases.
Recently, the evidence supports hippocampal avoidance with whole brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) as the recommended treatment option in patients with good prognosis and multiple brain metastases as it gives better neurocognitive preservation compared to historical whole brain radiotherapy controls. There is however often poor tumour control with this technique due to the low doses given. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), a form of focused radiotherapy which is given to patients who have a limited number of brain metastases, gives a higher radiation dose to the metastases resulting in better target lesion control. With improvements in radiation technology, advanced dose-painting techniques now allow a simultaneous integrate boost (SIB) dose to lesions whilst minimising doses to the hippocampus to potentially improve brain tumour control and preserve cognitive outcomes (HA-SIB-WBRT). The Investigators believe that the SIB in HA-SIB-WBRT (experimental) will result in better functional and survival outcomes compared to HA-WBRT (control). Patients who are fit, have multiple brain metastases (5-25 lesions) and reasonable life expectancy (>6 months) will be recruited from NCCS over 2 years. Patients will be followed up the over the following year with imaging, toxicity data, quality of life, activities of daily living and cognitive measurements at set time points. The results will be compared across the 2 arms. Patients with brain metastases are living longer. Maintaining functional independence and brain metastases control is thus increasingly important. Improved radiotherapy treatment techniques could provide better control and survival outcomes whilst maintain QoL and functional capacity.
Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation is mainly based on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting EGFR. 1st or 2nd generation inhibitors have been shown to be superior to chemotherapy in terms of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) when used as 1st line treatment. In case of progression at several metastatic sites, systemic treatment will be considered and will depend on the presence of the TKI resistance mutation, the T790M mutation. In the presence of the T790M mutation, osimertinib is superior to chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival, while in the absence of the T790M mutation, platinum salt chemotherapy is recommended. In case of local progression, treatment of the site in progression by radiotherapy and/or surgery is considered. As these local treatments can cause long-term adverse effects, systemic treatments are increasingly being considered in this indication. Brain and leptomeningeal metastases are the most frequent isolated site of progression in EGFR mutated patients treated with TKI. The high frequency of isolated cerebral and leptomeningeal progression is a consequence of the lower diffusion of 1st and 2nd generation TKIs in the central nervous system (CNS). Osimertinib is a 3rd generation TKI that has the particularity of overcoming the T790M mutation and having greater brain penetration than 1st or 2nd generation TKIs, which could make it an attractive therapeutic option in the event of brain progression or leptomeningeal progression. However, its efficacy in patients with cerebral or leptomeningeal metastases is still poorly understood.
The primary hypothesis is that camrelizumab in combination with pemetrexed/ carboplatin will present a better efficacy for treatment of first line metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer and minimize the risk of toxicity
This study will test the safety of the study drug, GDC-0084, in combination with radiation therapy in people who have solid tumor brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. All participants will have cancer with a PIK3CA mutation. The researchers will test increasing doses of GDC-0084 to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects in participants. The study will also try to find out if the combination of the study drug with radiation is effective against participants' cancer.
Phase II clinical trial, with two cohorts of patients included in parallel, all with melanoma BRAF mutated and brain metastases without previous local treatment in the brain. Cohort 1 will include patients with asymptomatic brain metastases and cohort 2 will include patients with symptomatic brain metastasis.
The LIFE study (Lung cancer, Immunotherapy, Frailty, Effect) is investigating the unselected 'real life' non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) population treated with immune checkpoint inhibition.
