In France, new cancer cases keep on increasing with around 150 000 deaths yearly. Cancer therapy research is constantly evolving. Indeed, several studies explore new treatments or their combination with conventional cancer treatments. But, at the same time, complementary and alternative medicines, as osteopathy, remain little explored upon their role in the combination with conventional therapy. Several studies showed indirect interaction between vagus nerve and cancer. Firstly, vagus nerve regulates homeostasis and immunity by reducing systemic inflammation while maintaining local inflammation and antitumor effects. Secondly, vagus nerve stimulation increases Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Moreover, a higher HRV is associated with an improvement of vital prognosis in cancer patients. Vagus nerve could be stimulated by noninvasive osteopathic manipulations. This prospective, monocentric and randomized study is a collaboration between the Centre Hospitalier d'Avignon and the Institut de Formation en Ostéopathie du Grand Avignon. It focuses on using noninvasive osteopathic mobilizations to stimulate vagus nerve. Indeed, this study aims to evaluate effects of vagus nerve osteopathic stimulations on HRV in patients with lung cancer, colorectal cancer, Non Hodgkin Lymphoma or Multiple Myeloma. More specifically, this study will tell us whether vagus nerve noninvasive osteopathic stimulations induce increase of HRV associated with a decrease of systemic inflammation and an improvement of patient's quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether treatment with the study drug durvalumab combined with a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) is a more effective treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) than SBRT alone.
The purpose of this Phase I, Multi-Center, Open-Label Study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and anti-tumor activity of KF-0210 in participants with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts: phase Ia, and phase Ib.
In the pilot study, 30 patients with metastatic lung cancer (stage IV) will be recruited at the start of their stage IV treatment from February 2019. The study period per patient will last six months, from the start of the stage IV treatment. Patients are eligible if they are diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, speak sufficient Dutch, and are willing to participate. Patients are randomly assigned to two arms by simple randomization. In the intervention arm, 15 patients will receive a weekly questionnaire. Alerts will be sent to the multidisciplinary care team, who will undertake follow-up actions. In the control arm, 15 patients will receive the standard care pathway without weekly questionnaire and without automatic alerts to the care team. The standard care pathways and the care team are the same in both groups. In this pilot study, the weekly follow-up will be evaluated by a validation questionnaire, semi-structured interviews with patients (n=5) and the care team (n=5), and workload registration of the care team during a six-month period for all included patients in the pilot.
Circulating tumor DNA can be used to monitor the treatment effect and identify developing resistance mutations during ALK directed TKI treatment.
This study is a multicenter, ambispective observational study that will collect data focusing on patients with lung cancers in Canada. The study will begin with ALK, EGFR, ROS1, ERBB2 (HER2), exon 20 EGFR mutation, MET and BRAF patients, with the goal of expanding into other rare molecular alterations within year 2
This is a phase Ib/II open label study. The escalation part will characterize the safety and tolerability of JDQ443 single agent and JDQ443 in combination with the other study treatments (TNO155 and tislelizumab) in advanced solid tumor patients. After the determination of the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose for a particular treatment arm, dose expansion will assess the anti-tumor activity and further assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of each regimen at the maximum tolerated dose / recommended dose or lower dose.
This proposed intervention centers on improving survivorship outcomes among African American and Latinx cancer survivor and caregiver dyads. As a result, there will be four major outcomes. First, as a result of partnership with minority social institutions (e.g. faith leaders), we will develop an in-depth culturally sensitive curriculum and survivorship care plan for Cancer Survivorship and Caregiver Leaders Aimed for Minority Populations (CSC LAMPs). Second, we will increase knowledge and skills by evaluating a comprehensive cancer survivorship training program designed for underserved health professional students. Third, the implementation of this program will improve survivorship outcomes among African American and Latinx cancer survivors with advanced stage cancer and their caregivers. Lastly, this study will build sustainability for underserved minorities with the training of 30 future healthcare providers as a valuable community resource for improving cancer survivorship outcomes. The long-term outcomes of the CSC LAMPs program will generate workforce capacity and diversity in cancer-based clinical practice, research, and community advocacy for underserved minority cancer survivors and caregivers.
The role of radiotherapy is well established in the management of early stage lung cancer or as part of a multidisciplinary approach of locally advanced lung cancer (1). Recent advances in Cyberknife© technology, which is a robotic system of stereotactic irradiation including localisation and real time lesion-tracking, has led to an increase in accuracy and potentially in efficiency of the irradiation of tumor field (2)(3). According to several studies, promising results in local control and survival rates have been achieved in patients suffering from primary lung cancer or peripheral lung metastasis treated with Cyberknife© (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Fiducial markers are implanted in or near a tumor in a configuration defining a COM (center of mass) guiding the Cyberknife for tumor localization. Tumor movement is then synchronized to respiratory cycle motion during treatment which reduces toxicity of non target lung tissue irradiation. Change in marker positioning leads to COM alterations, thus limiting detection by the tracking system. Percutaneous (9)(10)(11) (12), endovascular (12)(13) fiducial implantation or by means of bronchoscopic devices (14)(15)(16)(17)(18) are three techniques that have been validated in previous studies as feasible and safe procedures, providing accurate tracking. Few studies are currently available in the litterature comparing these modalities (19)(20). The percutaneous implantation technique will not be considered for this study because this technique is associated with a high risk of pneumothorax (9). Both the endobronchial and endovascular technique have been described in the literature with equivalent success rate (87-90%) in intention to treat (21)(22). One of the endpoints of this study is to verify that these results are reproducible in our institution where both techniques are currently available and to investigate other secondary endpoints such as fiducial marker migration after placement, complications rates and procedure time.
