Filter by:This clinical trial evaluates whether engineering gut microbiome using probiotics will alter the body's immune system to react to stage I-III breast or lung cancers that can be removed by surgery (operable). Having diverse species of bacteria inside the bowel may help improve the immune system, particularly the ability of the immune system to recognize cancer. Taking probiotics may change the diversity and make up of the bacteria in the bowels, and change how the immune system reacts to breast or lung cancer.
Metastatic lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide with a 5-year survival of less than 5%. With the approval of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in advanced lung cancer, such as pembrolizumab, there has been an improvement in overall response rates (ORR) and survival compared to chemotherapy. However, there is still a need for improvement in response rates in first-line treatments for patients with stage 4 NSCLC without genetically targetable alterations, especially in those patients with PDL-1 <50%. This trial is important because it seeks to discover whether the responses seen in first line treatments with PD-1 inhibitors + chemotherapy can be augmented with the addition of GM-CSF during the maintenance phase with pembrolizumab +/- pemetrexed.
This is a phase 3 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, study to assess the efficacy and safety of Furmonertinib (AST2818) versus placebo in patients with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with centrally confirmed, most common sensitising EGFR mutations (Ex19Del and L858R) either alone or in combination with other EGFR mutations as confirmed by a central test, who have had complete tumour resection, with or without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.
This study will investigate the role of sampling suspicious chest lymph nodes with a procedure called endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fine needle aspiration (EBUS-TFNA) or transesophageal ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in patients planned to receive radical dose radiation. This study will use Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) for treatment methods. SABR is a newer radiation treatment that delivers high-dose, precise radiation to small tumors and can be delivered more accurately than with older radiation treatment methods. It is considered a standard treatment for small lung cancers, and select cancers that have spread to the brain. The purpose of this study is to compare if the lymph node sampling procedure is valuable for determining the extend of nodal disease in metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) compared to imaging alone.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the top three most common cancers in Taiwan. Targetable driver mutations in NSCLC are more prevalent in Asian population compared to those in Western population, which offers chances to apply suitable targeted therapies worldwide. For patients who failed to the treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the genetic mutations from next-generation sequencing (NGS) reports can serve as the reference of treatment selection. Moreover, the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 serves as a helpful indicator for the response of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). On the other hand, patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK mutations and PD-L1-negative NSCLC who received chemotherapy had relative poorer survival than those received suitable targeted therapies and ICIs. To further elucidate the underlying molecular genomic aberrations, as well as the clinical demographics and therapeutic outcomes in above subpopulations, it is necessary to have a national, multi-centers and population-focused research project to collect data completely. Tumor tissue will be collected from advanced NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK or EGFR/ALK mutation after resistant to TKIs for real-time next-generation sequencing analysis in a platform of data storage and sharing. The purpose of the precision medicine project is to establish tumor molecular profiling of specific NSCLC populations in Taiwan, to facilitate patients to have corresponding potential targeted therapeutics and suitable clinical trials, and to extend the median overall survival.
A phase 1, first-in-human, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of the novel ALK inhibitor TPX-0131 in pretreated subjects with ALK+ advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The purpose of this study is to develop a digital strategy to increase awareness about lung cancer screening among women who are eligible to receive it. The digital strategy involves email communications and LungTalk, a web-based (accessed through the Internet) health communication tool that uses text, audio, video, and animation to increase awareness and knowledge about lung cancer screening. This study will focus on women who have recently received a screening mammogram.
This is a multicenter, randomized, open label, phase II study.
This is a single-arm, prospective, exploratory clinical study aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of sintilimab combined with anlotinib hydrochloride and platinum-containing dual-agent chemotherapy regimens in advanced or metastatic NSCLC as first-line treatment. Totally 40 patients with negative driver genes (20 patients of squamous cell carcinoma, 20 patients of non-squamous cell carcinoma) are to be enrolled.
The purpose of this research study is to see if adding an "extra" check by formal radiology review is possible without disrupting the normal processes that take place to develop and prepare a safe radiation treatment plan for patients.
