Filter by:The investigators propose a randomized controlled study in patients undergoing lung resection for cancer to compare the impact of multimodal intervention composed of exercise, nutritional supplement and psychological well-being on functional exercise capacity. One group (rehabilitation group) will receive the multimodal intervention after surgery for 8 weeks; the other will start 4 weeks before surgery and continue for 8 weeks postop (prehabilitation group). In this case, both groups will be exposed to the program, which will be available to both groups postoperatively. One of the two groups will start this program 4 weeks before surgery and continue for 8 weeks postoperatively, and the other will start once they leave the hospital and continue for 8 weeks postoperatively.
That study combines High Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) with radiotherapy treatment in patients with tumors that are moving with respiration like breast or lung cancers. The use of a High Frequency Percussive Ventilation system leads to the cessation of respiratory motions while administering radiotherapy (RT) to tumors which allows a reduction of the amount of irradiated normal tissues and which potentially decrease radiation-induced collateral damages.
The present study is a single arm clinical trial aiming to improve the key technology in the diagnosis and treatment of early stage lung cancer. 60,000 high-risk subjects (age 45-70) are planned to recruit and assign to the Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) screening arm (Baseline + 2 rounds of biennial repeated LDCT screening). Management of positive screening test will be carried out by a pre-specified protocol.
Study RGX-104-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-104, an oral small molecule targeting the liver X receptor (LXR), as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab, docetaxel, or pembrolizumab plus carboplatin/pemetrexed.
Purpose: With the existing recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSFs) patents expiring and the FDA approval of new biosimilar and innovator biologics, patients being treated with Grade III and IV myelosuppressive chemotherapy regimens will have additional therapeutic options. This observational study will describe the patient characteristics of new users of G-CSFs. It will describe in the treatment cohorts a primary outcome of hospitalizations for febrile neutropenia. The BBCIC will use the findings from this descriptive analysis to design a comparative study evaluating the real-world effectiveness and safety of biosimilar and innovator G-CSFs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of itacitinib in combination with osimertinib in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Integrative analysis of LCLC
This is a prospective randomised diagnostic clinical study to determine whether the use of a new flexible sampling needle can improve the yield of endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). Patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA for clinical reasons as deemed necessary by the managing physician or multidisciplinary team will be randomised to undergo either EBUS-TBNA or Flex 19G EBUS-TBNA. The procedure will be performed under local anaesthesia using conscious sedation or general anaesthesia according to usual practice at the trial centre. Specimens will be placed in saline and formalin and forwarded to the pathology laboratory. The specimens will be spun down to create a cell pellet which will undergo cytological and histological examination as per usual protocol at the trial centre.The pathologist, who will be blinded as to which technique was used to obtain the sample, will grade the quality, quantity, and cellularity of the specimens.
The study consist of a retrospective analysis of the etiologies, investigations and outcomes of patients presenting between 2005 to 2010 with hemoptysis in a North-American Tertiary center.
The standard operative approach to pulmonary lesions has been via postero-lateral thoracotomy and direct vision. This technique has some advantages but its morbidity is significant. Some surgeons advocate a resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to reduce the impact on chest wall and the impairment on respiratory mechanic. However, an evidence for superiority of the approach minimally invasive is lacking, particularly for the difficult assessment of the change in pulmonary function. The aim of this study is to compare VATS- over open lobectomy regarding the differences of chest wall kinematic, analyzed by optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP).
