Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been shown to be efficient in suppressing the accumulation of pleural fluid. The other widely used treatment for MPE is recombinant human endostatin.
The logical next step is to integrate molecular profiling into the care of all patients with NSCLC.
There have been reports suggesting that continuous administration of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is advantageous for patients in which gradual disease progression was observed after the establishment of clinical benefit from EGFR-TKIs. However, whether EGFR TKI with or without chemotherapy provides more survival benefit has not been formally evaluated.
For patients of advanced NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) , Individualized cancer therapy has been widely accepted since the success of crizotinib administration based on EML4-ALK fusion gene detection and gefitinib and erlotinib administration based on EGFR-TKIs sensitive mutations.From clinical points of view ,individual differences often occur between different patients, leading diverse effect in ADR and drug effect.Meanwhile ,the drug effect and adverse drug reaction was significantly influenced by the pharmacokinetic factors and pharmacodynamic factors.In this research ,we try to establish a more sensitive method to detect sensitive mutations in plasma and discover the correlation between somatic and germline mutations , trough concentration and EGFR-TKI drug effect, the association between ADME-associated SNP ,trough concentration and EGFR-TKI adverse effect .Furthermore, in vivo and in vitro research is also crucial for rational explanation for these clinical phenomenon.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC) could be used as a tool to earlier diagnose, more accurately predict treatment response / failure and predict overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients
The investigators' experimental study found that gossypol was the natural inhibitor of apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) and clinical study observed that high expression of APE1 was relative to the platinum-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. Thus the purpose of this study is to find out whether gossypol can improve the sensitivity of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in the non-small cell lung cancer with apurinic apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) high expression
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. LDK378 is an orally highly selective and potent ALK kinase inhibitor. In preclinical studies, LDK378 has much lower IC50 values than crizotinib in cell lines engineered to express ROS1 rearrangement (0.15 nM versus 3 nM) and is approximately 20-fold more potent. LDK378 is a potent inhibitor of tumor growth in rodent models of both ALCL and NSCLC. We suggest a phase II trial of LDK378 in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with ROS1 rearrangement. The aim of current trial is to evaluate the antitumor efficacy and safety profile of LDK378 and to identify biomarker to predict the tumor response to LDK378.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase II trial that compares reduced dose erlotinib 100mg daily and standard dose gefitinib 250mg daily in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who harbor EGFR mutations. The primary endpoint is disease control rate (DCR) and the key secondary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS). A total of 224 eligible patients will be randomized to receive either erlotinib 100mg daily or gefitinib 250mg daily in a 1:1 ratio until patients experience disease progression. Independent assessment of the major endpoints will be completed in a treatment-blinded manner. Randomization will be stratified based on treatment-lines (first-line vs. maintenance vs. second-line therapy). Tumor response and progression will be assessed according to RECIST 1.1.
This is a multi-center phase II randomized controlled study to assess the efficacy of Pemetrexed/cisplatin with or without Bevacizumab on patients with brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) harboring EGFR wild type by intracranial PFS(iPFS),also PFS ,DCR and OS.The side effect is evaluated as well.
