Filter by:This multicenter, single-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Atezolizumab in participants with PD-L1-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Participants will receive Atezolizumab 1200 milligrams (mg) intravenously every 3 weeks as long as participants are experiencing clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, that is , in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.
This proposed first-in-human study (408-C-1303) is designed to assess the safety, maximum tolerated dose, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in patients with advanced solid tumors that are refractory after standard of care therapy for the disease. The results of this study will help provide clinical information for the design and conduct of further clinical studies with RTA 408 in cancer patients.
Maintenance treatment of advanced stage squamous cell NSCLC. Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center study of nab-paclitaxel with best supportive care (BSC) or BSC alone as maintenance treatment after response or stable disease (SD) with nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin as induction in subjects with stage IIIB/IV squamous cell NSCLC. Subjects who discontinued treatment from the maintenance part for any reason other than withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up, or death, were entered into a Follow-up period that had a visit 28 days after progression or discontinuation. Those who entered Follow-up without progression continued with follow-up scans according to standard of care (SOC) until documentation of progression of disease. Additionally, subjects were followed for OS by phone approximately every 90 days for a minimum of 18 months, for up to approximately 5 years after the last subject was randomized.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter phase Ib/II study, which is composed of a phase Ib dose escalation part and a phase II dose expansion part. Patients will receive selumetinib in combination with gefitinib 250mg daily. This study will enroll EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients who have developed acquired resistance to EGFR TKI treatment.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men and the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Until today no effective method permits the early detection of lung cancer. Consequently, lung cancer is often diagnosed owing to symptoms of advanced disease. To address this problem, detection methods with an improved sensitivity and specificity are urgently needed. Over the past decade, accumulating evidence shows that the metabolism of cancer cells differs from that of normal cells. More specifically, the entire metabolism of cancer cells is reorganized or reprogrammed to increase anabolic reactions that induce cell growth and survival. Metabolic reprogramming during the development of cancer is driven by aberrant signaling pathways due to the activation of oncogenes and the loss of tumor suppressor genes. Furthermore, the microenvironment of the tumor plays a role in metabolic reprogramming. The altered cancer metabolism is characterized by an increased glycolysis, the production of lactate and the biosynthesis of macromolecules, such as proteins, lipids and nucleotides. Cancer cells have a high glycolytic rate and eliminate most of the glucose-derived carbon as lactate rather than oxidizing it completely via oxidative phosphorylation, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. The breakdown of glucose and other nutrients leads to a high energy production and provides the Krebs cycle with intermediates, which consequently are allocated to metabolic pathways that support biosynthesis. Metabolites are the end products of cellular metabolism and are therefore closely related to the observed phenotype. Disturbances in biochemical pathways which occur during the development of cancer consequently provoke changes in the metabolic phenotype. As a result, low-molecular weight metabolites are very attractive biomarkers for different cancer types. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy enables the identification and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures of metabolites, as in plasma and serum, without an extended sample preparation. The present study aims to determine the metabolic phenotype of lung cancer by means of proton (1H)-NMR spectroscopy. Once the phenotype determined (training cohort), this has to be validated by an independent cohort.
This research study is evaluating the experimental drug palbociclib in combination with another experimental drug PD-0325901 as a possible treatment for cancers with KRAS mutations, particularly for those which started in the lung.
This study is a research initiative established to explore the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool for detecting organ motion as it pertains to planning radiation therapy.
Rationale: Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and is the most frequent cause of cancer death. Accurate staging is important because it directs treatment and prognosis. Mediastinal staging can be done by both EBUS-TBNA and EUS-FNA. These two techniques have a complementary diagnostic range and the combined procedure is suited for assessment of almost the entire mediastinum. In practice, when mediastinal tissue staging is indicated, endoscopists often perform either an EBUS or an EUS investigation (instead of the combined procedure). Second, frequently only one or two, by imaging suspected lymph node stations, are sampled (ie. targeted approach). Objectives: main and secondary: 1. Complete endosonographic (combined endobronchial and esophageal) staging using a single EBUS scope improves locoregional staging (N2, N3, T4) versus EBUS staging alone. 2. Systematic mediastinal staging results in improved locoregional staging compared to PET-CT directed assessment of the mediastinum (ie targeted approach). Study population: Patients with potentially operable and resectable NSCLC are eligible if there is an indication for mediastinal nodal sampling. Patients have an indication for EBUS-TBNA. Intervention: Patients will undergo an EBUS investigation followed by EUS-B in the same session. During this single scope procedure, lymph nodes that are suspected on prior CT-PET imaging and on subsequent ultrasound are sampled. Main study endpoint: The main study parameter is the sensitivity for locoregional disease (N2, N3, T4 disease) of complete endosonographic staging (by EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA) in comparison with EBUS staging alone.
This open-label, multicenter study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) dosing of atezolizumab in combination with oral erlotinib or alectinib in participants with NSCLC. This study has two stages. In the erlotinib group, the combination treatment will be given to participants with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-treatment-naive, advanced (nonresectable) NSCLC in a safety-evaluation stage and to participants with previously untreated EGFR mutation-positive, advanced NSCLC in an expansion stage (Stage 2). In the alectinib group, for both the safety-evaluation and expansion stages (Stages 1 and 2), the combination will be given to participants who are treatment-naive with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive advanced NSCLC. In Stage 1, erlotinib will be given at a starting dose of 150 milligrams (mg) by mouth (PO) once daily (QD) and the starting dose of alectinib will be 600 mg twice daily (BID), for 28 consecutive days during Cycle 1 and on Days 1 through 21 of each cycle thereafter. The starting dose of atezolizumab will be 1200 mg, administered every 3 weeks (q3W) starting on Day 8 of Cycle 1. If the starting regimen for a combination treatment is not tolerated, alternative doses and/or schedules of erlotinib and atezolizumab or alectinib and atezolizumab may be tested to determine potential recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for that combination treatment. In Stage 2, a potential RP2D and schedule for each combination treatment will be investigated in an expansion cohort. For both stages, continuation of treatment beyond Cycle 1 will be at the discretion of the treating investigator. Study treatment will be discontinued in participants who experience disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, are not compliant with the study protocol, or, in their opinion or in the opinion of the investigator, are not benefiting from study treatment. However, in the absence of unacceptable toxicity, participants with second-line or greater NSCLC who are still receiving atezolizumab at the time of radiographic disease progression may be permitted to continue study treatment.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tarceva in two groups of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have not been pre-treated with chemotherapy. One group, consisting of patients who have never smoked, will receive Tarceva 150 mg/day, and the other group, consisting of current/former smokers, will receive Tarceva 150 mg/day increasing to a maximum of 300 mg/day. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years.
