Filter by:This research trial studies the long term follow-up for early detection of lung cancer in current or former smokers. Following up on smokers by collecting and analyzing specimens in the laboratory, performing chest computed tomography (CT) scans, as well as reviewing medical records may help doctors detect lung cancer at an earlier stage.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and/or bad) Pirfenidone combined with standard first-line chemotherapy will have on you and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigational drug Pirfenidone is being combined with standard chemotherapy in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Pirfenidone is approved to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) but it isn't currently approved to treat non-small cell lung cancer.
To assess: - efficacy of APL-101 as monotherapy for the treatment of NSCLC harboring MET Exon 14 skipping mutations, NSCLC harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET amplification, solid tumors harboring MET fusion, primary CNS tumors harboring MET alterations, solid tumors harboring wild-type MET with overexpression of HGF and MET - efficacy of APL-101 as an add-on therapy to EGFR inhibitor for the treatment of NSCLC harboring EGFR activating mutations and developed acquired resistance with MET amplification and disease progression after documented CR or PR with 1st line EGFR inhibitors (EGFR-I)
This trial is being conducted as a possible treatment for lung cancer with a specific change in the KRAS gene. The drugs involved in this study are: - Palbociclib - Binimetinib
The purpose of this study is to studying the addition of apatinib with chemotherapy to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.
The paradigm of pre-operative exercise as a neoadjuvant therapy to reduce morbidity is increasingly promoted within general surgery and surgical oncology. Patients with lung cancer participating in pre-operative exercise have better aerobic capacity and pulmonary function and shorter hospital length-of-stay after surgery. Additionally, pre-operative exercise may increase the likelihood of resuming exercise post-surgery, thereby accelerating the pace of rehabilitation and recovery. In order to translate the research findings into sustainable clinical practice, clinician-scientists need to develop pragmatic and effective home-based exercise protocols. Wearable fitness devices offer a way to approximate the supervision that occurs in exercise research. Before the investigators can develop an intervention in which patients receive tailored support similar to what occurs with supervised exercise, they need to pilot test the monitoring aspect of the wearable fitness device in conjunction with the pre-operative exercise program. The investigators propose a mixed methods, 16 single arm feasibility study of an unsupervised, pre-operative exercise prescription (uPEP) augmented by a wearable fitness device. The proposed study of 30 patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery will identify the strengths, weaknesses, and utility of this approach.
In this study the investigator will compare the effectiveness of robot assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) with video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in case of lung cancer. The perioperative circumstances and postoperative outcome will be compared.
This is a multicenter, single arm, 3-cohort, open-label trial of high dose Vitamin C intravenous infusion in subjects with solid tumor malignancies who are eligible for resection (cohort A) or with extended RAS (e.g.KRAS or NRAS) or BRAF mutation metastatic cancer who have received prior systemic treatment (cohort B). Cohort C will involve patients with colorectal cancer having an extended RAS or BRAF mutation who are amenable for localregional therapy of hepatic metastases with Yttrium-90 radioembolization.
Construction of a large cohort of lung cancer patients to evaluate the Prognostic and Predictive Significance of the molecular biomarkers Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), KRAS, Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK), Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein and Microsatellite Instability (MSI) in lung cancer: A tissue microarray-based study of 500 cases.
Although fist-line therapy with Cisplatin and etoposide(EP)or Carboplatin and etoposide(CE) has been given, patients with extensive small cell lung cancer(ED-SCLC) still relapse and the 2-year survival is extremely low. There is no standard maintenance treatment recommendation for ED-SCLC patients after the first-line therapy.Apatinib has been approved as a second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Several phase III clinical studies of non small cell lung cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and other tumors also showed apatinib has less toxic side effects and better patient tolerance. However, the clinical application of apatinib in small cell lung cancer is still lack of evidence-based medicine,so this clinical trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combine with etoposide as maintenance therapy in ED-SCLC patients after first-line chemotherapy in our center.
