Filter by:Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. At present, surgical resection is still the standard treatment for early stage lung cancer. Triportal thoracoscopic lung resection is a routine surgically procedure for early stage lung cancer while uniportal thoracoscopic lung resection is developing rapidly in recent years. Although uniportal VATS pulmonary resection has been proven to be effective in preventing postoperative morbidities, there is still no ample evidences to demonstrate that uniportal VATS pulmonary resection is equal or superior to traditional triportal thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. The purpose of this multicenter randomized controlled trial study is to compare the uniportal VATS with traditional triportal VATS pulmonary resection in postoperative complications, long-term survival, lymph node dissection and local recurrence.
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for ALK-positive or ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The following drug will be involved in this study : - Lorlatinib
Study RGX-104-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-104, an oral small molecule targeting the liver X receptor (LXR), as a single agent and in combination with nivolumab, ipilimumab, docetaxel, or pembrolizumab plus carboplatin/pemetrexed.
Integrative analysis of LCLC
This is a prospective, randomized phase-II study observing the memory preservation and functional brain MRI changes with conformal avoidance of the hippocampal neural stem-cell compartment during prophylactic cranial irradiation for small cell lung cancer patients.
EBUS-TBNA is often the sole diagnostic test applied in patients with stage IV lung cancer. A limitation of the TBNA needle when using a 22 Gauge needle is the limited ability to procure adequate histological samples. Although a larger 19 Ga needle can procure histological samples as demonstrated by the conventional 19 Ga needle, published data are not existing with respect to molecular diagnostics. A new nitinol-based 19 Ga needle has been developed for EBUS-TBNA. Given the frequent usage of 22 Ga needles for molecular diagnostics and the recent technical advancements in 19 Ga needle technology, we conduct a RCT to compare the performance of both needle types.
This clinical trial evaluates adding high-dose ascorbate (vitamin C) to a standard therapy for non-small cell lung cancer. The standard therapy is radiation therapy combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel (types of chemotherapy). All subjects will receive high-dose ascorbate in addition to the standard therapy.
Several arguments are in favor of a therapeutic monitoring for the erlotinib, therefore, a pharmacokinetic (PK) has been prepared using data from the literature. This model must be validated at concentrations achieved in practice. This is a preliminary study before the implementation of a randomized trial confirming the therapeutic monitoring of erlotinib through this model.
Every year in France, 30.000 deaths are due to lung cancer and 39.500 new cases of this disease are diagnosed (INCa 2014). Patients suffering from locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), stage IIIa, usually undergo a multimodality treatment including chemotherapy with platinum compounds before surgery (called neoadjuvant chemotherapy or induction chemotherapy). The reason of this combined modality treatment is the really poor prognosis of patients presenting a disease already spread to lymph nodes (classified N2 when the lymph node under the carina is affected). Up till now, the five-year survival of patients who underwent surgical resection of N2 NSCLC does not exceed 15%
The present study is a randomized controlled trial of LDCT screening for lung cancer versus usual care. 6000 high-risk subjects (age 45-70) were recruited and randomized to the Active arm (Baseline + 2 biennial repeated LDCT screening) or to the Passive arm, followed up in usual care (Baseline + 2 biennial repeated questionnaire inquiries). Follow-up for lung cancer incidence, lung cancer mortality and overall mortality was performed. Blood samples were stored from the Active arm in a Biobank. Management of positive screening test was carried out by a pre-specified protocol.
