Filter by:This is a phase II trial of durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination of platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with stage IV Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (cohort 1) or hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (cohort 2) will be eligible. Patients will receive standard platinum-based chemotherapy plus durvalumab for 4 cycles (every 3 weeks), followed by durvalumab (with or without pemetrexed for non-squamous NSCLC) maintenance therapy. It is hypothesized that Durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination with standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for the treatment of stage IV NSCLC in patients with HIV, HBV, or HCV infection.
To determine the efficacy of combined afatinib and prednisone in previously treated advanced squamous NSCLC
This is a pilot study of biomarker evaluation and safety of pre-incisional ketorolac for patients undergoing surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. There is significant promise in the use of preoperative ketorolac to decrease the inflammatory response after surgical resection of tumors, thereby potentially reducing the risk of distant metastatic tumor spread and improving survival. A total of 56 patients (28 per disease site) will be enrolled into the experimental arm and will receive ketorolac prior to surgery. About 10 patients will be allocated randomly into a control group, for each disease site, for a total of 76 patients enrolled. The research will advance scientific knowledge by studying the safety of a preoperative dose of ketorolac prior to major surgical resection, which needs to be assessed prior to proceeding with a larger phase II study designed to evaluate traditional efficacy endpoints such as recurrence and overall survival.
Neoantigen vaccine is a new field of research in tumor immunotherapy, and some studies have been conducted with success on Melanoma and glioblastoma. Nearly 80% of lung cancers are diagnosed in an advanced stage (IIIB, and IV) and EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer will be resistant after targeted drug treatment. Neoantigen vaccine is a new treatment method for lung cancer, especially for patients with drug resistance.
The purpose of this randomized study is to determine the safety and efficacy of quaratusugene ozeplasmid (Reqorsa) added to osimertinib in NSCLC patients with activating EGFR mutations who have progressed while on treatment with osimertinib. Quaratusugene ozeplasmid consists of non-viral lipid nanoparticles that encapsulate a DNA plasmid with the TUSC2 tumor suppressor gene and is the first systemic gene therapy for cancer. The study will comprise of a Phase 1 dose escalation and Phase 2 evaluations of safety and efficacy. In the Phase 1 dose escalation, patients will be enrolled in sequential cohorts treated with successively higher doses of quaratusugene ozeplasmid in combination with osimertinib. When the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is determined in Phase 1, Phase 2a will be initiated and patients will be enrolled in 2 parallel, non-randomized cohorts treated with quaratusugene ozeplasmid at the RP2D in combination with osimertinib. In Phase 2b, patients will be randomized to receive either quaratusugene ozeplasmid plus osimertinib or platinum-based chemotherapy.
For metastatic/advanced NSCLC patients who do not have targetable mutations, either immunotherapy targeting the programmed death-1 and its ligand (PD-1/L1) pathway alone or in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy is now a standard of care. However, still about half of the patients do not benefit due to treatment resistance. It is therefore critically important to find novel therapies and combinations to benefit patients who have failed or are intolerant to 1st line immunotherapy. This study hypothesizes that ipatasertib in combination with taxane (e.g. docetaxel) can be an effective strategy. Ipatasertib is a novel adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor that has demonstrated robust and selective targeting of protein kinase B (PKB, also known as AKT) in cancer patients. Importantly, evidence from preclinical studies has demonstrated that AKT inhibitors (e.g. ipatasertib) can enhance the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy as well as immunotherapy via modulating Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3'K)-AKT activity.
The purpose of this study is to see if adding pirfenidone to atezolizumab will increase anti tumor activity and reduce treatment resistance in stage 4 and recurrent non- small cell lung cancer participants.
Immunotherapy is now a standard of care for first-line and eventually salvage therapy in patients with stage IV NSCLC and as adjuvant after RT-CT for stage III NSCLC. The aim of the study is determining the therapeutic landscape and the reason for immunotherapy cessation.
Traditional drainage for uniportal video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a routine method, usually with one or two chest tubes at intercostal incisions, but postoperative pain due to the chest tube and unsatisfied drainage effect was noted. In this study, the investigators are going to explore whether a prophylactic air-extraction catheter combined with chest tube drainage may not increase complications in uniportal VATS for upper lung lobectomy. The patients would be assigned to two arms, one with a prophylactic air-extraction catheter combined with chest tube, and another with two chest tubes, and the effect of the combined drainage strategy will be evaluated.
This study retrospectively evaluates clinical parameters and outcome of patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer treated with neoadjuvant therapy followed by curative-intent surgery at the Divison of Thoracic Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna
