Filter by:Since the introduction of immune checkpoint ihibitors (ICIs) in cancer treatment, numerous studies have investigated different patient profiles to identify those who benefit from this class of drugs. Currently, hundreds of studies are being conducted with the aim of increasing the benefit of these therapies by combining ICIs with other treatments: immunomodulators, cytotoxics, targeted therapies, including cancer vaccines, which are peptides or RNA injected to trigger or increase a specific immune response against the tumor. Other approaches exist, such as oncology-specific "basket" studies, to focus on a genetic mutation independently of tumor location and determine whether a drug could treat the same genetic mutation found in several different locations. To date, ICIs are part of standard management in the US for patients with several diseases: advanced melanoma, NSCLC, Merkel cell carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, urothelial and renal cell carcinoma, cancers characterized by microsatellite instability, refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric cancer. In addition, trials are underway to investigate the benefit of ICIs in other locations. Thus, taking into account the growing importance of ICIs in the oncological therapeutic strategy and the large number of patients treated, a better understanding of the vascular impact of these drugs is necessary.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of new method to quantify the amount of sugar a tumor consumes using PET/CT. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the new quantification method superior with respect to the method currently used in the clinic? - Does the new quantification method provide accurate assessment of the sugar consumption of tumours? Participants who will undergo a standard care FDG PET/CT scan will in additional receive a dynamic PET/CT scan prior to the standard care scan. In addition blood samples will be drawn at three time points during the examination.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of lung cancer over the past 10 years. Nivolumab, ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, and durvalumab have been successively approved in non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and pleural mesothelioma. Although the efficacy of ICIs is remarkable in some patients, the objective response rate is only about 20%. The development of predictive biomarkers for treatment response is essential. Non-invasive methods and easily accessible biomarkers at low cost are required.ICIs activate the immune system through the inhibition of checkpoints (PD-L1, PD-1). The immune system and the liver are interconnected and constantly interact through a complex regulatory system. Patients with lung cancer frequently suffer from liver damage, due to metastases, treatments or underlying pathologies. The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical significance of key liver biomarkers (AST, ALT, PAL, GGT, bilirubin, PT) in patients with lung cancer treated with ICI.
Our project is going to clarify the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab in lung cancer in the real world, and to evaluate the incidence of adverse events (AEs) of special interest during Toripalimab immunotherapy.
Interventional clinical study to obtain performance and safety data of the EPIONE® device when used for percutaneous procedures in the lung.
Patients treated at the Hôpital Nord de Marseille for at least one smoking-related pathology (atheroma, chronic bronchitis, non-progressive cancer > 5 years) or with eligibility criteria for lung cancer screening (inclusion criteria in the NLST or NELSON studies or American recommendations) Interventional study with minimal risks and constraints, with evaluation of lung cancer prevalence; immunological, blood inflammatory and microbiota profile Determine the maximum clinical, radiological, and biological phenotyping completeness rate following the implementation of a new lung cancer screening care pathway with multidimensional clinical, radiological, and biological phenotyping capabilities
Lung cancer screening of active or former heavy smokers with yearly low-dose CT allows for earlier diagnosis and better lung cancer survival. Risk of developing lung cancer is higher among family members and close contacts of lung cancer patients, because of shared genetics, environment and life habits like smoking. The investigators want to engage lung cancer patients to refer their family members and close contacts for lung cancer screening, and evaluate if this referred population have higher risk of lung cancer than the population referred by their family doctors.
People with advanced chronic cancers are now living for many years as a result of new targeted anti-cancer treatments. Many of these treatments are quite new and people may take them for months, even years, as long as the treatments are helping. The purpose of this study is to help understand how to best support people receiving these treatments.
Multi-center observational clinical study to evaluate the application value of ctDNA monitoring in efficacy assessment and relapse prediction in patients diagnosed with unresectable, locally advanced NSCLC receiving CRT with or without durvalumab maintenance treatment.
The human gut microbiome has been associated with many health factors but variability between studies limits the exploration of effects between them. This study aims to systematically characterize the gut microbiota of various critical chronic diseases, compare the similarities and differences of the microbiome signatures linked to different regions and diseases, and further investigate their impacts on microbiota-based diagnostic models.
