Filter by:This study compares the outcomes and safety of two standard treatment options called microwave ablation and surgical wedge resection in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, sarcoma and colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Microwave ablation is designed to kill tumor cells by heating the tumor until the tumor cells die. A wedge resection is a procedure that involves the surgical removal of a small, wedge-shaped piece of lung tissue to remove a small tumor or to diagnose lung cancer. Comparing these two treatment options may help researchers learn which method works better for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, metastatic sarcoma, and metastatic colorectal cancer.
The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors.
This study is open to adults with small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine cancers that are positive for the tumour marker delta-like 3 (DLL3). The study is in people with advanced cancer for whom previous treatment was not successful or no standard treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 764532 and the best treatment schedule that people can tolerate. BI 764532 is an antibody-like molecule (DLL3/CD3 bispecific) that may help the immune system fight cancer. In this study, BI 764532 is given to people for the first time. That means no clinical data are available for BI 764532. Participants get BI 764532 either weekly or once every 3 weeks. If there is benefit for the participants and if they can tolerate it, the treatment is given for a maximum of 3 years. During this time, participants visit the study site about 20 times depending on the response to the treatment. Doctors record any unwanted effects and regularly check the general health of the participants.
This phase III trial studies how well a telehealth self-management program works in improving survivorship care and outcomes in stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer survivors. Survivor self-management program focuses on coaching patients on follow-up care after cancer treatments. Participating in the program may improve knowledge and confidence about follow-up care, communication with cancer care and primary care doctors, and quality of life after cancer treatment in non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer survivors.
Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a fatal complication of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) associated with poor prognosis and rapid deterioration of performance status. The incidence of LM is increasing, reaching 3.8% in molecularly unselected NSCLC patients, being more frequent in adenocarcinoma subtype and up to 9% in epidermal growth factor receptor mutation (EGFRm) lung cancer patients, one-third of patients have concomitant brain metastasis . This increased incidence may in part be conducive to the increased survival of patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC since the introduction of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitions (TKIs).Currently, no standard therapeutic regimen for LM has been established because of its rarity and heterogeneity[11], and no approved therapies exists to specifically target LM in patients with EGFRm NSCLC. TKIs therapy is the first-line treatment of patients with EGFRm of NSCLC. The leptomeningeal space is a sanctuary site for tumour cells and therapeutic agents due to the presence of an active blood-brain barrier (BBB), so CSF concentration is an important factor affecting treatment of LM by TKIs. Standard-dose first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs have good systemic efficacy but sub-optimal CNS penetration, as evidenced by preclinical studies of brain distribution and clinical reports of CSF penetration[15, 16]. Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR-TKI, irreversible, oral EGFR-TKI that potently and selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI sensitizing and EGFR T790M resistance mutations, which has demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC CNS metastasis[17-22]. Preclinical, I/II clinical studies and AURA program (AURA extension, AURA2, AURA17 and AURA3) have shown that Osimertinib has higher brain permeability than the first- and second-generation. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), animal studies and autopsy specimens show that VEGF plays an important role in LM. VEGF and EGFR share many overlapping and parallel downstream pathways. The biological rationale shows that inhibiting of EGFR and VEGR signaling pathways could improve the efficacy of antitumor and remove the resistance of EGFR inhibition. Besides, preclinical researches have shown the similar results. Based on these, numbers of clinical trials have confirmed that VEGF inhibitors in combination with EGFR-TKI significantly prolong patients' survival.
The prognosis for primary lung cancer (PLC) is very limited. In France, patients diagnosed for PLC in 2010 and followed in Respiratory Medicine or Oncology department of a General Hospital Centre had a 5-year survival rate of 12.7% (vs 10% in 2000). Over the last ten years, substantial improvements have been made both in terms of diagnostic (immunohistochemistry and molecular biology) and therapeutic. New treatments have been marketed and are now available in clinic. New therapeutical strategies have been launched and have proved their efficacy in clinical studies or meta-analyses, generally increasing the survival rate of patients by a few months. However, little information still exists on the use and effectiveness of these molecules in clinical practice. The CPHG proposes to complete the information collected during KPB-2020-CPHG study by the ESCAP-2020-CPHG study that is a follow-up of therapeutical strategies over the first 3 years of treatment. This study should improve knowledge of the PLC treatment management in General Hospital Centres.
The phase II, randomised study is to explore the efficacy and safety of toripalimab as consolidation therapy in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who have not progressed following concurrent chemoradiation therapy
Based on the previous work of LDCT screening, in order to improve the screening rate of central lung cancer for LDCT negative and severe smokers, the investigators plan to conduct China's first large-scale fluorescent bronchoscopy screening test.
The objective is to screen and monitor the efficacy of cfDNA methylation in patients with stage I lung cancer after ablation, to compare the similarities and differences of cfDNA methylation between surgical treatment and ablation in patients with stage I lung cancer, and to look for new indicators to assess the efficacy of ablation therapy and to monitor lung cancer recurrence.
This study will compare the effectiveness of osimertinib alone with the combination of osimertinib and chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in people with metastatic lung cancer that has a change (mutation) in the gene EGFR. Osimertinib alone is the usual treatment for metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancer. Researchers think adding chemotherapy to osimertinib could possibly add to the anticancer effects of the usual treatment and help stop cancer from growing or spreading.
