Filter by:Lung cancer incidence and mortality have been increasing steeply in the past thirty years in the mainland of China. More than 80% of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). More than 40% of NSCLC patients are found to be in stage IIIb or IV, which is not resectable. The 5-year survival rate for this group of patients is less than 5% in the SEER database. Currently, the NCCN guidelines recommend platinum-containing double-drug chemotherapy as the first- line standard of care for advanced NSCLC without driver gene mutations, and treatment options after failure of first-line chemotherapy are limited. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors, ICIs provide new treatment options, and in addition, radiotherapy can also be used in selected patients with advanced NSCLC, especially in patients with oligo progression, where irradiation of the thoracic primary lesions can improve the patient's respiratory-related symptoms, reduce the tumor burden, improve the patient's quality of life, and prolong survival in some patients. Therefore, we propose that combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy to the primary lesion for these patients, who are generally in good KPS status, may result in improved quality of life and prolonged survival. To date, there have been no clinical studies of immunotherapy combined with primary lesions radiation therapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (driver gene-negative) after chemotherapy failure or recurrence, so we designed this prospective, randomized, controlled, investigator-initiated, phase II clinical study with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of combined immunotherapy and primary lesions radiation therapy in this patient population. This trial aims at investigating the feasibility and efficacy of this treatment strategy.
This study will collect de-identified tumor samples, with correlated clinical/demographic data and tissue histology, from patients selected or scheduled for pre-treatment tumor biopsy or who have had a recent pre-treatment tumor biopsy. These specimens and clinical data may be used in subsequent studies for the development and validation of a diagnostic test.
Although there is a relatively better prognosis, the 5-year survival rate for early stage lung cancer (Stage I, II, IIIA) is still relatively low compared to those other types of cancer. These patients might suffer lots from the uncertainty and substantial disease and treatment related physical changes. The investigator aims to (1) Develop and construct the contents, related patient education materials and computerized systems of the three evidence and service-based lung cancer care programs, including (a) Control as usual care (UC+ case manager care, or Control group), and (b) Computer Assisted OPD Personalized Supportive Care Program (UC+COPSCCP or Ex group); and (2) Compare the effects of Ex and care as usual (receiving usual care and case manager care) on self-report quality of life (QOL), physical symptoms, physical function and fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in newly diagnosed early-stage lung cancer patients. Eligible patients will be newly diagnosed early stage lung cancer patients (patients in stage I, II, & IIIA) who have received surgery. A 2-group randomized control trial (RCT) matching with cancer stages will be conducted. For the COPSCCP, patients will be intervened for 6 months from the first time during hospitalization of receiving surgery or before hospital discharge and then OPD intervention. Each patient will be followed 6 time points for 2 years (will be drop and refer to medical oncology while having recurrence, metastasis or death): baseline (pre-discharge from hospital) and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after discharge from hospital, T1-T6, respectively. The outcomes indicators will include: psychological variables, physical/disease variables, symptoms, lung function, and recurrence rate during 2 years. The estimated subjects would be 150 for each group, totally 300 subjects recruited in the beginning of the study. Results would be analyzed mainly by GEE and survival analysis. IRB approval will be received before the RCT. The investigator expects to develop and test the supportive cancer care interventions and generalize the interventions into the cancer care system after the study if prove good outcomes.
This phase I trial investigates the best dose and side effects of NBTXR3 when given together with radiation therapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated by surgery (inoperable) and has come back (recurrent). NBTXR3 is a radio-enhancer designed to increase the radiotherapy energy dose deposition inside tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may increase radiation-dependent tumor cell killing without increasing the radiation exposure of healthy surrounding tissues.
This is a single center and exploratory study, aiming to analyze the efficacy and safety of dacomitinib-a pan-HER and irreversible TKI in subjects with diagnosed stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC. All subjects will have tumors that test positive for at least one uncommon EGFR activating mutation (do not have drug-resistant pattern, e.g. 20 insertion or 20T790M). All patients will be of histo- and/or cytopathology confirmed. Determination of the EGFR mutation type will be performed in the pathological department of Shanghai Chest Hospital. Both ARMS method or targeted sequencing are acceptable. It is not acceptable for subjects with the presence of the exon 20T790M mutation or insertion together with either EGFR activating mutations (exon 19 deletion or the L858R mutation in exon 21) or uncommon EGFR mutations. 10ml peripheral blood must be available for concomitant study. All eligible subjects must have adequate renal, hepatic, and hematologic function, as defined in "inclusion criteria". Patients will receive continuous oral therapy with the study drugs (dacomitinib 45 mg) until progressive disease as defined by RECIST version 1.1 or judged by investigator that the patient no longer derives clinical benefit from study treatment. At the time of progression and removal from study treatment, the subject may receive any regulatory approved therapy at the judgment of the investigator. Timely and complete disease assessments in this study are important. Every effort should be made to ensure disease assessments performed as scheduled to prevent the introduction of bias into the assessment of efficacy. Failure to perform any of the required disease assessments will result in the inability to determine disease status for that time point. Frequent off schedule or incomplete disease assessments have the potential to weaken the study conclusion. Subjects who have progressive disease per RECIST version 1.1 confirmed by the investigator believes it is in their best interest to continue on their study therapy, will be allowed to continue on their therapy with or without local therapy (e.g. surgical removal and/or radiation of a single lesion), at the discretion of the investigator until any alternate or additional systemic anti-cancer therapy regimen is implemented. The subsequent new cancer therapy (including, for systemic therapy, drugs administered, date of initiation and discontinuation of each drug) and OS will be recorded. Each subject will be followed for survival status and subsequent cancer therapies up to 48 months from the date of first dosing. This data may be collected from subjects by telephone, and if collected should be entered into the CRF.
Thoracic radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy stands for the standard regime for limited staged small cell lung cancer. Involved node radiation（INF） replaced elective node irradiation（ENI） as the more popular since several trails compared the two regimes. simultaneous integrated boost IMRT becomes mature with advancing in IMRT and VMAT. The investigator hypothesis that SIB-IMRT can confine the dose for organs at risk to reduce the toxicities compared with routine IMRT in limited disease small-cell lung cancer.
This is a phase II trial of durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination of platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with stage IV Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (cohort 1) or hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (cohort 2) will be eligible. Patients will receive standard platinum-based chemotherapy plus durvalumab for 4 cycles (every 3 weeks), followed by durvalumab (with or without pemetrexed for non-squamous NSCLC) maintenance therapy. It is hypothesized that Durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination with standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for the treatment of stage IV NSCLC in patients with HIV, HBV, or HCV infection.
To determine the efficacy of combined afatinib and prednisone in previously treated advanced squamous NSCLC
This is a pilot study of biomarker evaluation and safety of pre-incisional ketorolac for patients undergoing surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma. There is significant promise in the use of preoperative ketorolac to decrease the inflammatory response after surgical resection of tumors, thereby potentially reducing the risk of distant metastatic tumor spread and improving survival. A total of 56 patients (28 per disease site) will be enrolled into the experimental arm and will receive ketorolac prior to surgery. About 10 patients will be allocated randomly into a control group, for each disease site, for a total of 76 patients enrolled. The research will advance scientific knowledge by studying the safety of a preoperative dose of ketorolac prior to major surgical resection, which needs to be assessed prior to proceeding with a larger phase II study designed to evaluate traditional efficacy endpoints such as recurrence and overall survival.
Small cell lung cancer is a highly malignant tumor, and its first-line treatment has not broken through platinum-containing dual-drug chemotherapy in the past 30 years. Because small cell lung cancer has the characteristics of easy resistance after first-line chemotherapy, increased difficulty in treatment after resistance, and poor efficacy of second-line treatment, how to formulate a plan that can control tumor progression to the greatest extent has become a hot issue in recent research. Recently, immunotherapy and targeted therapy have made breakthrough progress in small cell lung cancer, but its efficacy still needs to be further improved. As immune combined chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy first achieved good results in other tumors, this study aims to explore a longer disease-free survival time and higher overall survival rate of patients with small cell lung cancer through immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy. Program to bring new hope to patients. At the same time, this study will evaluate the safety of the program, explore the prognostic indicators that may exist in the treatment, and provide new inspiration for subsequent patient selection.
