Filter by:Objectives: To examine whether NK cell activity associates with two confirmed risk factors: (1) presence of indeterminate lung nodule(s) and (2) smoking exposure after controlling for potential confounders, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), personal history of any cancer, and family history of cancer. This project is aimed at measuring NK cell activity, which may eventually help in reducing false positive rates of LDCT screening, improve early detection of lung cancer, and assist in risk assessment in patients with lung cancer. The investigators hypothesize that measurement of NK cell activity may be a useful tool for assessing changes in immunosurveillance in patients with conditions or diseases where NK cell activity has been shown to be reduced, such as lung cancer
The MILD project is a randomized lung cancer screening trial whose primary aim is to evaluate the impact on mortality of early lung cancer detection through LDCT (low-dose computed tomography) in 2 groups: a control group undergoing a program of primary prevention with pulmonary function test evaluation and a group undergoing a periodic spiral CT associated with primary prevention and pulmonary function test evaluation. This last one is also randomized in two arms: yearly low-dose CT vs CT every 2 years. MILD trial comprehensive design combines for the first time primary prevention (smoking cessation) with early detection, and molecular risk profile through assessing the value of blood and tissue biomarkers.
The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of JS-001 in subjects with various advanced or recurrent malignancies, including solid tumors and lymphomas, and to evaluate its preliminary efficacy. The secondary objectives are to: 1) characterize the single-dose and multi-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of JS-001, 2) characterize the immunogenicity of JS-001; 3) assess the dose-efficacy relationship of JS-001 single agent, and 4) preliminarily evaluate biomarkers associated with the efficacy of JS-001. The exploratory objectives include to evaluate the consistency between biomarker detection results of archived tissue and fresh frozen tissue, and to assess the consistency of response using various response criteria (such as irRC, WHO, RECIST and irRECIST).
This chart review describe the response to systemic chemotherapy of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring a known somatic activating human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutation. The analysis of this data will provide an initial description of the response to systemic chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC harboring an activating HER2 mutation in order to inform the design and powering of future randomized controlled clinical trials of HER2-directed therapy.
Immunotherapy is probably, since the development of therapies targeting EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangement, the most attractive therapeutic perspective in the management of metastatic lung cancer. Among the compounds tested, the inhibitors of the immune checkpoint PROGRAMME DEATH 1 / PROGRAMME DEATH LIGAND 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) have been tested in numerous clinical trials with recently published positive results leading to the approval of one drug in the USA and an expanded access program for two drugs in France. PROGRAMME DEATH LIGAND 1 (PD-L1) expression by tumor cells is strongly associated with the response to such molecules so that the participation in various clinical trials is currently reserved for patients expressing this biomarker and therefore justifies a new invasive biopsy (bronchoscopic or CT-guided) representing a considerable drag on the access to these treatments. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated by Isolation by Size of Tumor Cells (ISET) offer a direct and non-invasive access to the tumor. It has already been demonstrated that molecular characterization (EGFR, ALK) on these blood samples is possible. We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of the analysis PDL-1 expression in these cells by immunocytochemistry. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells that inhibit T cell functions and thus promote tumor growth. These cells frequently express PD-L1. We propose to test whether MDSCs level and its evolution during treatment with PD1 inhibitor is correlated to the response to these drugs. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of the analysis of PD-L1 expression on CTC
The prognosis of patients with lung cancer is related to the stage of the diagnosis : 73% of one-year-survival rate at stage IA and only 13% one-year-survival rate at stage IV. Controlling the timelines in a care program seems crucial to improve prognosis of lung cancer. The project aims to evaluate the impact of a coordinating nurse (CN) in a personalized care program for patients of thoracic oncology.
The main objective of study is to describe the priorities of elderly patients (70 years and over) undergoing a first medical treatment for cancer, at initiation of treatment and after 3 months of treatment. The main criterion is a prioritization of 4 items per patient from a list of 8 expectations regarding the objectives of their treatment: treatment efficacy, life expectancy, autonomy, daily activities, social activities, heaviness of treatment, toxicity, economics.
This is an open-label positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) study to investigate the diagnostic performance and evaluate the efficacy of 68Ga-NOTA-3PTATE-RGD in lung cancer patients and neuroendocrine neoplam patients. A single dose of 111-185 Mega-Becquerel (MBq) 68Ga-NOTA-3P-TATE-RGD will be injected intravenously. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/CT images.
The proposed study plans to adapt and study the implementation and effectiveness of integrating Clinical and Community Effort Against Secondhand smoke Exposure (CEASE) into the thoracic oncology setting using mixed methods.
Investigators intend to compare the 19-gauge needle and the 22-gauge-needle during EBUS-TBNA concerning the diagnostic yield, the quality and quantity of each biopsy needle without raising the rate of complications.
