Filter by:This is a prospective observational study aiming: 1) To quantify lung function using perfusion dual energy computed tomography (DECT) and use this information at the time of treatment planning with preferential sparing of functional lung parenchymal 2) to validate results of lung function obtained using DECT with lung perfusion scintigraphy results, the current standard method; 4) to compare dosimetry of whole lungs vs. functional lungs in patients treated with either stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage lung cancer or conventional radiotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer and 5) to evaluate lung function 6, 12 and 24 months post-radiotherapy with both perfusion DECT and pulmonary function tests and compare radiation dose-map to functional lung-map.
The recent approval of ICB treatments targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) by the US Food and Drug Administration has offered an improved treatment chance for a variety of malignant tumors, including those with a particularly poor prognosis. However, a growing number of studies and case reports show that immunotherapy may accelerate tumor progression in a significant subset of patients ranging from 9% to 27% across multiple histologies and lead to so-called hyperprogressive disease (HPD) that leads to a rapid patient death. During this NIS study, Asylia Diagnostics aims to fill in the first layer of knowledge leading to the identification of predictive biomarkers and biological mechanisms that could be used for the prediction, diagnosis, and treatment of melanoma and NSCLC HPD patients. The study is a retrospective clinical study. During this study basic historical medical information and scrolls from FFPE-preserved biopsies taken prior to immunotherapy treatment will be collected. The nature of the study is not invasive and non interruptive to the standard of care.
Organoids are generated from tumor biopsies, taken during a standard procedure. and are a collection of organ-specific cell types that are able to self-organize in-vitro in a manner similar to the in-vivo situation (3D). They have the capability to facilitate in-depth analysis of patient's own tumor material at point of diagnosis and during progressive/recurrent disease. There is currently no published protocol to establish long-term lung cancer organoids from lung cancer patients. Such a methodology would enable the prospective identification of 'patient tailored optimal treatments" as well as the derivation of predictive biomarkers for response and relapse. Apart from organoids, xenograft models also still have their merits. To generate PDX, tumor material will be retrieved from surgical specimens, cut in small pieces, transplanted in the recipient immune deficient animals either subcutaneously or implanted directly into the lung. A tumor with the median growth rate will be serially transplanted in vivo for further therapeutic experiments. Dedicated small animal irradiaton in our facility enables precise local irradiation of lung tumors with minimal radiation exposure of the surrounding normal tissues. Integrated cone beam computed tomography imaging system allows longitudinal monitoring of tumor response to novel treatments.
Routine electronic monitoring of health-related quality of life (REMOQOL) consists of collecting HRQoL patients' data via an electronic device in order to provide these data to healthcare providers. Collected data could be used by professionals to personalize care through for instance, orientation towards personalized supportive care; assessment of toxicities related to treatments or adapted treatments. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of REMOQOL on the care relationship in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are naïve for systemic treatment. To do this, the investigators want to conduct a randomized trial at the Besançon University Hospital. Several teams are collaborating on this project: Methodology and Quality of Life Unit in Oncology (UMQVC), pneumonology and medical oncology services of the Besançon University Hospital and psychology laboratories of Franche-Comté and Burgundy Universities. The original aspects of this research are the particular interest in the care relationship between physicians and patients, also taking an interest in the physician's experience, the strong collaboration with researchers in psychology, the use of mixed quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques as well as the design of randomized study.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of ANV419 (single agent) and in combination with ipilimumab in patients with relapsed/refractory advanced solid tumors.
We used a segment of cryopreserved aorta as a graft for reconstruction for long segment tracheobronchial lesion in human.
The aim of this study is to investigate those nutritional problems contributing to loss of lean body mass in lung and pancreas cancer patients in chemotherapy. Furthermore to investigate alterations in taste and how they correlates with changes in following factors: nutritional intake, physical activity, appetite, food preferences, side effects, fatique and meal perception.
The purpose of this research study is to see if adding an "extra" check by formal radiology review is possible without disrupting the normal processes that take place to develop and prepare a safe radiation treatment plan for patients.
Tumor infiltration lymphocytes (TILs) have been harvested from advanced cancer patients and constructed to knockout PD1 gene and express scFvs against both PD1 and CTALA4 and CARs against various antigens, followed by transfusion into the patients. The safety, tolerance, and preliminary clinical efficacy of the TILs will be evaluated.
This is an open-label, multi-center, randomized, phase III study. It is aimed to firstly evaluate the effectiveness and safety of almonertinib induction therapy in EGFR-mutated patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of dynamic MRD guided maintenance therapy with almonertinib after induction therapy with almonertinib and local therapy (radical surgery or radiotherapy) evaluated by MDT diagnostic model. The study includes a screening period (not more than 28 days after the subject with signed informed consent before first medication), treatment period (including induction therapy with almonertinib\ radical therapy under MDT model\ consolidation therapy with almonertinib) and follow-up period.
