Filter by:Substantial progress has been made in the treatment of cancer through the use of targeted therapies, but what works for one patient might not work for another patient. Certain drugs are now being developed that target specific molecules in the body that are believed to be part of the disease. Biomarkers are specific characteristics of the cancer that may help provide prognostic information (e.g. how well patients will be regardless of the treatments given) or help predict sensitivity or resistance to a specific treatment. The study will collect archival tumor samples (previously collected biopsy or surgical tumor samples) to provide biomarker data about a patient's cancer, which may help their physicians to identify which clinical trials of new drug treatments may be most appropriate for the patient in the future and may also guide the use of approved treatments that may potentially benefit the patient. Another goal of this study is to develop a province-wide registry of targeted gene sequencing testing results that will be made available to cancer researchers. Additional tumour tissue and blood samples collected from all study participants will also be stored in a biobank at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research for future research. The study will also look at linking data from this study to other health care databases to further collect information about the health care the patients received, including medical tests, clinic visits, or procedures both before and after participating in this study. Having more information about patient health to relate to the DNA sequences may provide new insights into cancer and its treatment.
Several arguments are in favor of a therapeutic monitoring for the erlotinib, therefore, a pharmacokinetic (PK) has been prepared using data from the literature. This model must be validated at concentrations achieved in practice. This is a preliminary study before the implementation of a randomized trial confirming the therapeutic monitoring of erlotinib through this model.
This study is an open-label Phase 1/Phase 2 evaluation of INCB001158 as a single agent and in combination with immune checkpoint therapy in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.
The present study is a randomized controlled trial of LDCT screening for lung cancer versus usual care. 6000 high-risk subjects (age 45-70) were recruited and randomized to the Active arm (Baseline + 2 biennial repeated LDCT screening) or to the Passive arm, followed up in usual care (Baseline + 2 biennial repeated questionnaire inquiries). Follow-up for lung cancer incidence, lung cancer mortality and overall mortality was performed. Blood samples were stored from the Active arm in a Biobank. Management of positive screening test was carried out by a pre-specified protocol.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the treatment with NEO-PV-01 + adjuvant in combination with nivolumab is safe and useful for patients with certain types of cancer. The study also will investigate if NEO-PV-01 + adjuvant with nivolumab may represent a substantial improvement over other available therapies such as nivolumab alone. All eligible patients will receive NEO-PV-01 + adjuvant and nivolumab while on this trial.
The aim of this placebo-controlled randomized study is to evaluate the effects of Melatonin 1mg/Zn 30% VNR/Mg 100% VNR (food supplement) in the management on sleep quality and mood alteration in cancer patients
This study will monitor the effect on patients reported outcomes (PROMs) of VATS resection and SABR for NSCLC delivered at the Leeds Cancer Centre The investigator will support with this information the Shared Decision Making (SDM) process. 300 consecutive patients will be followed up from prior the treatment to 12 months afterwards, administering multiple questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C-30 and LC-13, PSQ-18, Decision Self-Efficacy Scale) by a remote web-based system. Deliverable: 1. Differences after VATS resections or SABR in terms of physical and psychological symptoms, quality of life and satisfaction 2. Patient perspectives of the Shared Decision Making Process.
This is a phase 2, multi-center, single dose, open-label, exploratory study in suspected lung cancer patients scheduled to undergo endoscopic or thoracic surgery per CT/positron emission tomography imaging based on standard of care. This study aims to assess the efficacy of OTL38 and Near Infrared Imaging (NIR) at identifying pulmonary nodules within the operating theater, and to assess the safety and tolerability of single intravenous doses of OTL38.
The purpose of this research study is to address the challenge of medication management for older patients undergoing treatment for cancer. The sponsor of this protocol is the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center who is providing funding for this research study.
A study to evaluate the safety of Nivolumab given in combination with Ipilimumab in patients with advanced cancers. The initial group will enroll patients with newly diagnosed Stage 4 or non-small cell lung cancer that has come back.
