Filter by:This is a real-world non-interventional observational study. The study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of clinical treatments in the patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) complicated with brain metastases in clinical practice.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in Canada. For approximately 30% of patients that present with locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the standard treatment is curative-intent concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Outcomes remain poor, with 5-year survival of only 20%. Despite the long-held belief that higher radiation doses lead to improved overall survival (OS), the landmark randomized trial (RTOG 0617) showed the opposite. The investigators hypothesize that the inferior survival observed may be due to unexpected heart toxicity as secondary analysis revealed that the heart dose was a strong predictor of inferior OS. Up to now, change in heart function is typically detected histologically, requiring autopsy tissue. Therefore, a non-invasive marker of early heart damage is required. Hybrid PET-MRI has become available in Canada only recently. The ability to simultaneously perform metabolic imaging with functional and tissue imaging allows for novel assessment of heart toxicity. The primary objective is to examine the utility of hybrid PET-MRI and DCE-CT to assess acute changes in heart function and to measure inflammation before, and six weeks after NSCLC radiotherapy. A pilot of 20 patients with Stage I-III NSCLC will be enrolled. The findings of this study will aid in the design of new studies to reassess dose escalation for locally advanced NSCLC while limiting the risk of heart toxicity. FDG PET will be used to simultaneously assess both cardiac inflammation and tumour response. Quantitative DCE-CT will also be used to measure ventilation and perfusion changes in the normal lung and tumour after radiotherapy, providing image data that can comprehensively assess both tumour response and potential toxicity in both the heart and lungs. Such information is crucial in understanding the disease and its response to treatment. This data will also aid in the design of radiation techniques that spare the heart in other patients with any thoracic malignancies, including breast cancer, lymphoma, and esophageal cancer.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of apatinib combined with docetaxel in NSCLC.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sheng Bai oral liquid in prevention and treatment of the decrease of neutrophilics after chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.
This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical study designed to evaluate its safety and efficacy by using Docetaxel with or without Traditional Chinese Medicine XH1 in patients with Stage ⅢB-Ⅳ Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who failed with first-line Chemotherapy. The primary outcome measure includes progression-free survival (PFS) after treatment. Secondary outcome measures include collecting biomarkers before and during treatment, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and patient's quality of life.
This study is one single group of participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not been cured by other treatments. It is the first time the drug has been used in humans. There will be two parts and a sub-study. The primary purpose of the parts are: - Dose Escalation: To investigate the safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of DS-1062a - Dose Expansion: To investigate the safety and tolerability of DS-1062a in additional solid tumors This study is expected to last approximately 6 years from the time the first participant is enrolled to the time the last subject is off the study. Study sites are located in both the United States and Japan. The number of treatment cycles is not fixed in this study. Participants who continue to benefit from the study treatment may continue, unless: - they withdraw - their disease gets worse - they experience unacceptable side effects. The primary purpose of the sub-study is to compare the effectiveness of steroid versus non-steroid mouthwash as prophylaxis against oral mucositis/stomatitis in participants receiving DS-1062a. The sub-study is a randomized study that will include approximately 76 participants enrolling into the Dose Expansion part.
Lung cancer is the most leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Most of the patients with lung cancer are advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. The two oncogenes that are important in lung cancer are epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and K-ras, mutated in 10% and 15% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Large-scale DNA sequencing efforts have identified mutations in BRAF, PI3KCA and ERBB2 that together represent another 5% of NSCLC patients. The success of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib or erlotinib, and more recently ALK/MET TKI, crizotinib, highlights the need to develop more genetically matched therapies. Therefore, genetic classification of lung cancer has become increasingly important along with the advances with targeted therapies. ROS1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase with constitutive kinase activity. ROS1 was previously discovered in cell lines where ROS1 fused with other proteins to act as a driver oncogene. In 2007, Rikova et al reported ROS1 fusion as driver mutations in NSCLC cell line (HCC78; SLC34A2-ROS1) and NSCLC patient (CD74-ROS1). Li et al also found about 1% of samples harboring CD74-ROS1 fusion in 202 resected lung adenocarcinomas from never smokers. The incidence was as high as 10% in East Asian population. Currently there are now at least 13 ROS1 fusion variants involving 8 fusion partners (CD74-, SLC34A2-, FIG-, TPM3-, SDC4-, LRIG3-, ERZ-, KDERL2-) identified in ROS1 positive NSCLC. Interestingly, preclinical and clinical data have shown ROS1-positive tumors are sensitive to crizotinib, because of potentially high common amino acid residues in the kinase domain between ALK and ROS1, which explain why crizotinib can inhibit both ROS1 and ALK to similar extent. Preliminary report from a phase I clinical trial of crizotinib in the ROS1-positive NSCLC expansion cohort showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 57%. Given that crizotinib has made remarkable clinical outcomes in phase I trial of ALK-positive NSCLC patients, clinical development of ROS1 inhibitors, including crizotinib, should be accelerated to provide targeted therapies to ROS1-positive NSCLC patients.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the relapse free survival of patients who have EGFR-mutant stage IIIA-IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and receive Icotinib as consolidation therapy after synchronous or sequential chemoradiotherapy.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy(SBRT) for spinal metastases has been proved a good results in pain relieve and local control, However,the longterm of efficacy and safety of this regimen is unclear.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the longterm outcome of this therapeutic regimen in selective patients who will be survival more than 2 years.
This phase III trial studies how well nivolumab and ipilimumab works with or without local consolidation therapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Local consolidation therapy, such as surgery or radiation therapy, may improve survival outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether giving nivolumab and ipilimumab with local consolidation therapy works better than nivolumab and ipilimumab alone in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
