Filter by:This research trial studies comprehensive genomic analysis in tissue samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has come back or is stage IV. Comprehensive genomic analysis may identify specific gene mutations (changes in deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]) and help doctors to tailor treatment to target the specific mutations.
TITLE : A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Trial on the Prognostic and Dynamic Change of CTC Enumeration in Advanced NSCLC with 1st or 2nd line chemotherapy and targeted therapy BACKGROUND : Circulating tumor cells (CTC) identification is a new field of research in oncology, and some studies have been conducted with success on breast and prostate cancer. Nearly 80% of lung cancers are diagnosed in an advanced stage (IIIB, and IV). CTC identification and monitoring these cells after treatment could help the clinicians to detect relapse or be a prognostic factor. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE : To study the relationship between CTC count and clinical outcome of treatment (Overall response rate and Progression-free survival). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES :To study the relationship between CTC and overall survival. STUDY DESIGN : This is a prospective, observational study. Duration of the inclusions: 12months. SAMPLE SIZE : 1200 patients
Background: - Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It causes more than one million deaths every year. Researchers want to gather tissue samples from people with lung and thymic cancers to understand the disease better. This may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat it. Objective: - To collect tissue samples for use in the study of lung cancers. Eligibility: - Adults over age 18 with non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, extra pulmonary small cell cancer, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, and thymic epithelial tumors. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will be asked about how they perform their daily tasks. - Participants may be asked to give urine and blood samples. They may give a saliva sample if they cannot give blood. They will also give a sample of their tumor from a biopsy they had. They may also be given the option to undergo a biopsy. - Participants may have MRI, CT, and/or PET scans of the body. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. - After visits to the Clinical Center end, researchers will contact participants by phone every year to check on their health.
1. Title and stage of study A Phase II Study to Assess Efficacy of Combined Treatment with Erlotinib (Tarceva) and Silybin-phytosome (Siliphos) in Patients with EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma 2. Endpoints Primary Endpoint : tumour response rate Secondary Endpoint : progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety assessment 3. Study Rationale Even though it is commonly accepted that EGFR TKIs are effective to EGFR mutation positive lung cancer patients, still remains its resistance issue. The Silybin which is extract from mugwort bean Thistle and used for hepatoprotective drug for a long time with very low adverse events in Eastern countries. Recently, there are some reports regarding its anti-cancer effects through several preclinical studies. The safety of Siliphos which is developed agent from silybin for improving intestinal absorption was demonstrated in Phaseâ… trial. Recently investigators found out Silybin is effective for blocking EGFR signal in different mechanism from Erlotinib and it can be expected additional impact with combination therapy with preclinical data. Our research team can expect to improve Lung cancer treatment if the combination therapy (Silybin_Erlotinib) improves patients' response and Overall survivor. 4. Treatment method Erlotinib (Tarceva 150 mg/day) and Silybin (Siliphos 1g bid/day) q 4 weeks 5. Assessment criteria For toxicity assessment, posttreatment recurrence and survival rates will be investigated based on NCI-CTCAE ver 4.0 and RTOG. Efficacy assessment will be conducted through measurement of lesions by CT and RECIST criteria. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and time to tumour progression (TTP) will be estimated using a Kaplan-Meier analysis. In addition, effect of pre-treatment T790M on response and PFS will be analyzed.
The study will be a prospective open-label single-center study in previously treated patients with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Treatment efficacy and safety of the combination of Oshadi D and Oshadi R with Docetaxel will be will be evaluated. Patients will receive Docetaxel in combination with Oshadi D and Oshadi R. Patient will be evaluated throughout the study for safety and tolerance to multiple dose regimens of Oshadi D and Oshadi R. CT or MRI imaging will be performed prior to treatment initiation and at the end of every 3 Docetaxel cycles (12 weeks). In case of disease progression, dose augmentation will be considered or subsequent therapy.
Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy that involves taking white blood cells from patients' tumors, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. These cells are called Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, or TIL and we have given this type of treatment to over 100 patients. In this study, we are selecting a specific subset of white blood cells from the tumor that we think are the most effective in fighting tumors and will use only these cells in making the tumor fighting cells. Objective: The purpose of this study is to see if these specifically selected tumor fighting cells can cause non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors to shrink and to see if this treatment is safe. Eligibility: - Adults age 18-72 with NSCLC who have a tumor that can be safely removed. Design: - Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the NIH clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed - Surgery: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo surgery to remove a tumor that can be used to grow the TIL product. - Leukapheresis: Patients may undergo leukapheresis to obtain additional white blood cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.} - Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the TIL cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits take up to 2 days.
The purpose of this study is to compare 3years of disease-free survival (DFS) of Icotinib and placebo in the treatment of patients who EGFR mutation-positive II-IIIA lung adenocarcinoma.
Lung Cancer and melanoma relapsed frequently whereas its very sensitive to treatment such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The purpose of this study is to have a better understanding of why those patients are relapsing using next generation sequencing to identify rare mutations and assessed their predictive value.
This randomised, controlled, multicentre trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of sequential icotinib plus chemotherapy versus single icotinib as first-line treatment in stage IIIB/IV lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation.
Numerous evidences verified that erlotinib could dramatically improve the PFS and OS of non-small cell lung cancers who harbor EGFR sensitive mutations, however, primary or secondary resistance will be developed after TKI treatment, doctors do plenty of researches to overcome TKI resistance. FAST ACT-2 study present that, first line erlotinib combined with chemotherapy could improved mOS to more than 30 months in NSCLCs who harbor EGFR sensitive mutations, several study shows that sensitive mutations still exist after TKI resistance, because of the next generation TKIs(such as BIBW2992) are not avaliable at present, agents for met amplification(such as Crizotinib) are so expensive that many Chinese patients could not support. Thus, the investigators hypothesis that, after first line TKI treatment, the patients who developed TKI resistance could still benefit from second line TKI combined with chemotherapy.
