The current standard of care for unresectable locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a combination of chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT). The standard regimens consist of platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.Icotinib(BPI-2009, Conmana) is the first self-developed small molecular drug in China for targeted therapy of lung cancer.Icotinib is a novel oral quinazoline compound that has proven survival benefit in Chinese patients with lung cancer,especially in EGFR mutation lung cancer. This randomised, multi-center, controlled trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of icotinib with concurrent radiotherapy versus pemetrexed + carboplatin with concurrent radiotherapy in inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutation, the primary endpoint is progression-free survival.
This randomized, open-label study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy of high-dose icotinib in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with positive EGFR 21 exon mutation.
Protocol title: Comparison of cost-effectiveness of continuation maintenance therapy with six cycles of pemetrexed versus pemetrexed until disease progression for metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Study design: An open-labelled, randomized, phase 2 trial Indication: Patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1, and have received first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum for 4 cycles Treatment: Maintenance pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for six cycles versus until disease progression Objectives: Primary endpoint: 1. Progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population Secondary endpoints: 1. Cost-effectiveness 2. Overall survival 3. Quality-of-life (QoL) 4. Quality-adjusted progression-free survival (QA-PFS) 5. Quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE) 6. Tumor response rate 7. Adverse events Planned sample size: 36 patients in each arm; total 72 patients Total number of sites: 1 site Duration of patient enrollment: 3 years
The object of this study is to identify the combined effect of ANKL and doublet chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC. The investigators design the combination of ANKL and approved chemotherapy as the 3rd and 4th courses in the patients who get stable response after x2 induction as the first line chemotherapy. ANKL (2x10*9) from peripheral blood 32ml is administered rapidly iv 12-36hr after each chemotherapeutic agents while peak effect of NK cell ligand modulation by chemotherapeutic agent is maintained. After 4th course, response evaluation is done by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and 40% or more partial response (PR, increased by 15% or more from historical control 25%) is the expected target and Simon's two stage design will be applied through the study (power 80%, a= 0.95, N1= 33, N= 68)
The role of sublobar resection(Wedge resection or anatomic segmentectomy) for small(≤ 2cm) early stage non-small cell lung cancer has been studied by Lung Cancer Study Group and is being studied by several ongoing trials. However, elderly patients(aged ≥70 years) in these trials is under-represented, as in most of the ongoing clinical trials. This study focuses on the elderly population of early stage lung cancer, and aims to investigate the outcome of lobectomy versus sublobar resection for peripheral stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in elderly patients.
1. Compare the effect and safety of gefitinib alone with gefitinib plus concomitant WBRT(whole-brain radiotherapy ) in treatment of NSCLC patients harboring an EGFR mutation with multiple BM. 2. Verify the failure pattern of NSCLC patients harboring an EGFR mutation with multiple BM. 3. Explore the rescuable therapy after progression of disease.
Apatinib is a new kind of selective Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2(VEGFR-2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The investigators have finished the preclinical,phase I and phase II clinical studies and found its promising anti-tumor activity and tolerable toxicities. A disease-control rate of 61.1% and a mPFS of 4.7 months were showed in apatinib phase II study in patients with NSCLC. The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of apatinib to placebo in advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer patients.
A sub-population of patients affected by non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) do not gain benefit from treatment with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The hypothesis of this study is that the addition of chemotherapy with oral vinorelbine to first-line TKI might result in improved outcomes in EGFR-mutated patients.
The investigators plan to recruit patients for a prospective study in patients in need of evaluation for lung lesions suspicious for cancer. Saliva samples will be collected before diagnostic evaluation including biopsy with subsequent blinded examination of the salivary markers without knowledge of the disease status. This prospective recruitment with retrospective blinded evaluation or PRoBE design satisfies the highest standards recommended by the National Cancer Institute for biomarker development. This process limits the selection bias that can confound retrospective studies. As the primary endpoint, a pre-specified multi-marker panel will be evaluated based on the combination of sensitivity and specificity. In addition, seven pre-specified individual candidate mRNA cancer markers and six internal reference or "housekeeping" genes will be evaluated. The performance of new multi-marker panels will also be assessed and compared with the prior pre-specified model based on sensitivity and specificity combinations as well as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
