Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concordance between Positron E mission tomography parametric imaging versus standard PET for the 1 year prognosis of patients with NSCLC treated by radiochemotherapy. The ancillary study will evaluate the interest of parametric PET imaging during the treatment (around 42 Gray) to detect the local relapse of the lesion in order to propose a treatment re-planification or intensification (not realized on the present study).
This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, phase II interventional clinical trial evaluating efficacy and safety of Icotinib as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with IIIA- IIIB NSCLC with activating EGFR mutation in exon 19 or 21. Sixty-seven resectable stage IIIA- IIIB NSCLC patients with EGFR activating (19/21) mutations will be eligible to be enrolled. EGFR mutation will be prospectively tested in all the participants' biopsy samples and confirmed in surgical resected samples. Neoadjuvant treatment phase: Eligible patients will receive 125mg of Icotinib three times per day. Treatment will be scheduled to continue until the disease progression or unbearable toxicities appear. Surgery treatment phase: Tumor response will be evaluated with CT scan after 8 weeks of induction treatment. The patients with responsive disease considered to be technique resectable will undergo resection. Post-surgery phase: It is the discretion of the investigator whether the patient is a candidate for post-operative treatment which is considered to be in the best interest of the patients. It is recommended that patients with positive margins or residual tumor after surgery should receive radiation therapy. Patients after surgery will receive long-term follow-up -- chest CT scan，abdominal abdominal ultrasound every 3 months, brain MRI every 6 months, bone scan (ECT) every 12 months -- for up to 5 years.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a highly specific and effective biomarker for the detection of EGFR mutation status. We hypothesise AZD9291 is efficacious in patients with EGFR sensitizing mutations and T790M detected in plasma ctDNA. This is a prospective, open label, multi-centre single arm phase II study assessing the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 monotherapy in patients with stage IIIB or IV harboring sensitising EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations) and T790M who have progressed following prior treatment with an approved EGFR TKI. Approximately 106 subjects will be enrolled. All patients must have documented radiological progression on EGFR-TKI treatment and on the last treatment administered prior to enrolling in the study.
Patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring sensitive epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations invariably develop acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Identification of actionable genetic mutations can be helpful for guiding the subsequent treatment. This study aimed to analyze the genetic profile of NSCLC harboring acquired resistance to the first-generation EGFR TKIs using next generation sequencing (NGS).
A multi-centre observational, non-interventional study is to dynamically monitor the changes of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in late stage NSCLC patients under Gefitinib treatment.
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is one of the disastrous events when managing advanced Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) due to a grave prognosis. Although intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy and brain and/or spinal axis irradiation show some effects for LM in advanced NSCLC, the prognosis is still poor with median survival less than 12-14 weeks. Epidermal growth factor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) showed to be effective for LM in selected NSCLC patients in some retrospective research. Our single-center prospective research indicated that the incidence of EGFR sensitive mutations (EGFRm+) in NSCLC-LM patients was high and EGFR-TKIs showed a survival benefit for LM in EGFRm+ NSCLC patients. A multi-center prospective observational biomarker study will be started in 11 lung cancer center based on our single-center prospective research result. The aims of the study are to find predictive biomarkers for LM in advanced NSCLC, to establish EGFR-TKIs based comprehensive treatment for appropriate EGFRm+ LM cases, and to establish effective clinical assessment criteria for NSCLC-LM EGFR-TKIs treatment.
Anorexia is common symptom in cancer patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However timely detection with objective tools is necessary to establish the diagnosis of anorexia and to assess the magnitude of change over time. The anorexia pathophysiology is not clearly understood and treatment options are limited. Anecdotal historical benefits of smoking marijuana on nausea, pain and anorexia led to studies with marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids from Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active agent in marijuana. The endogenous cannabinoid system with its receptors CB1 and CB2 regulate appetite in four functional levels: (1) limbic system (hedonistic quality), (2) hypothalamus (appetite stimulant), (3) intestinal, and (4) tissue adipose. Nabilone, a synthetic analogue of THC approved in Mexico for nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy is also used in palliative care units for clinical improvement in increased appetite patients in terminal stages, however, there are no clinical trials demonstrating this benefit.
To study activity in the reward-circuitry of the brain in patients suffering from cachexia induced by cancer or chronic disease.
This is a perspective, multicenter,randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy Based on PET/CT and IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced non small cell lung cancer . Analyses of overall survival (OS) will be done as defined in the protocol.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and the effectiveness of Plasmodium immunotherapy (blood-stage infection of Plasmodium vivax) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.The treatment will last 3-6 months from the day of successful infection and will be terminated by antimalarial drugs.
