Filter by:Despite encouraging results of programmed cell death protein -1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment combined with chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only the minority of approximately 20% of patients derive durable clinical benefit from such treatment. Patients with stable disease (SD) after four cycles of treatment with PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy (standard of care in advanced NSCLC in the Netherlands) have a low probability of still acquiring a complete response (CR) or durable disease control to such treatment and no other curative standard treatment options are available, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Tumor-specific neopeptides resulting from frameshift mutations in tumor cells, so-called Frames, present potentially potent targets for the immune system and can be utilized in therapeutic anti-cancer vaccination with the intention to synergize in their effect with immune chckpoint inhibitors. Frames are prevalent in NSCLC patients, with 95% of lung tumors harboring one or more Frames. The entire collection of Frames expressed by a tumor is referred to as the Framome. Vaccination against strongly antigenic neopeptides present in a patient's tumor furnishes a perspective of enhancing the therapeutic effect of the immune checkpoint inhibition in NSCLC with expected limited additional toxicities. The current clinical trial is designed to determine immune response, safety, and clinical response of personalized vaccine FRAME-001 based on a patient's Framome and selection of Frame peptides in advanced NSCLC cancer patients after standard first line treatment consisting of immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab as monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy (carboplatin/cisplatin and pemetrexed/paclitaxel), and who attained SD after four cycles of such therapy. The personalized FRAME-001 vaccine will be administered during maintenance phase of treatment with pembrolizumab monotherapy.
This study aimed to investigate the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for patients with metastatic ALK fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had failed from first line Alectinib. Additionally, available biological samples such as blood and tumor tissues were collected to explore potential biomarkers, including but not limited to RNA-seq, whole-exome sequencing (WES), whole-genome sequencing (WGS), immunohistochemistry, and multiplex immunofluorescence.
This study investigates whether using a mobile-CT-assisted bronchoscopy (M-CAB) during a bronchoscopy procedure will better enable the study staff to reach the lung tumor, perform a biopsy, and obtain a diagnosis. One method that doctors use for diagnosing lung tumors is bronchoscopy guided by an X-ray machine (called fluoroscope). Though much better guidance could be provided with a CT scanner when compared to the fluoroscope, the standard CT equipment is very large, fixed in a radiology room, and difficult to use with bronchoscopy. Mobile CT imaging systems may more easily and effectively perform the same tasks of the standard CT imaging in the bronchoscopy room, offering better guidance than the standard fluoroscope.
Predicting response to therapy and disease progression in stage IV NSCLC patients treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy, chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination therapy or chemotherapy alone in the first-line setting.
This is a phase I/II, open-label, first-in-human clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK profile and efficacy of JS111 for patients with Non-small cell lung cance. This study is divided into 3 periods: dose escalation stage, dose extension stage, and efficacy extension stage.
The hypothesis for this study is that hypofractionated IMRT to 62.5 Gy in 25 fractions (2.5 Gy/fraction) with concurrent carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by maintenance durvalumab will improve locoregional control at 18 months by 10% compared to standard-fractionated chemo-IMRT/durvalumab. A modest improvement in locoregional control (LRC) was selected as a target which could merit further study of this hypofractionated IMRT regimen in a Phase III trial
This study will measure PD-L1 expression in metastatic NSCLC (primary tumour and metastatic lesions) using [99mTc]-NM-01 SPECT/CT and compare to PD-L1 percentage expression determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
The purpose of the study is to explore adding the study drug certolizumab to standard chemotherapy as it may reduce the inflammation caused by the cancer and make the chemotherapy more effective in shrinking the cancer. This study will examine whether adding certolizumab to the usual treatment approach is better than, the same as, or worse than the usual approach alone.
Innate immune cells are an important part of the body's innate immune system, the first line of defense against infection and cancer. Tumor killer cells (TKC) are mixed cultures of two kinds of innate immune cells, namely natural killer cells (NK cells) and gamma delta T cells (γδT cells), which are co-activated and co-cultured ex-vivo in a certain proportion by the unique TKC technology. Adoptive TKC transfer is expected to exert a strong anti-tumor effect through synergistic action between NK cells and γδT cells. In this study, the safety, tolerance, and preliminary efficacy of adoptive TKC transfer combined with chemotherapy will be examined in patients with advanced NSCLC.
Adding chemotherapy or anti-VEGF to immunotherapy is an emerging strategy to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy in many cancers. This phase 2 study aims to explore the preliminary efficacy of combination pembrolizumab with lenvatinib and chemotherapy in NSCLC patients with sensitizing EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 genetic aberration refractory to standard targeted therapy.
