Filter by:Osimertinib is a third-generation EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) TKI(Tyrosine kinase inhibitor) for the management of NSCLC(non-small cell lung cancer) harbouring EGFR(Epidermal growth factor receptor) T790M mutation after acquired resistance to previous first-generation EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) TKI(Tyrosine kinase inhibitor) therapy. Moreover, osimertinib was approved or the treatment of patients with EGFR(Epidermal growth factor receptor) mutant NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) in the first-line setting based on the clinical trial. The clinical activity and favorable toxicity profile of osimertinib has led to broadly research into this drug as a strategy to inhibit and prevent drug resistance in EGFR(Epidermal growth factor receptor) mutant NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer). Evidences of benefit from EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) TKI(Tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in EGFR(Epidermal growth factor receptor) mutant NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) patients have been increasing in early stages as well as in advance stages. Therefore, adjuvant or neo adjuvant EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) TKI(Tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in operable NSCLC(non small cell lung cancer) patients could improve survival in EGFR(Epidermal growth factor receptor) mutant NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) patients. Acquired resistance by widespread clinical use has become a hot clinical problem. A variety of target therapies are being developed to overcome tolerance to osimertinib to improve this outcome. This is an approach that should improve the molecular and clinical understanding of the drug resistance. Specifically, we want to investigate innate drug resistance and tumor microenvironment to osimertinib by performing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). and single cell research is obviously needed to develop cancer therapeutic strategies.
The investigators aim to identify novel circulating methylated biomarkers for early lung cancer detection as well as to develop new technologies that are clinically applicable with high sensitivity and specificity.
This is an open-label, sing-arm, phase IV clinical study. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Afatinib in treatment of NRG1-fused locally advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and explore the clinical factors that may predict the effectiveness of treatment.
Patients with lung cancer are often treated with high dose x-ray treatment (radical radiotherapy) to control the disease. After one course of radiotherapy, after a period of time, there is a risk that the cancer can come back in either the same place or nearby in the lungs. This happens to about 700 patients in the UK every year. There is no strong evidence to suggest what the best treatment is in this situation. One possible treatment is a second course of radiotherapy (re-irradiation). Early studies show that a re-irradiation may cause significant side effects like breathlessness or problems swallowing, but may control the cancer for a long period of time. We want to do a clinical trial to investigate if re-irradiation improves cancer control compared to other treatments to help guide treatment for patients with recurrent disease. Before we can go ahead with the trial, we would like to talk to patients who are have completed radiotherapy to find out what are their feelings about having a second course of radiotherapy if needed, and how the side effects from the initial course of radiotherapy or the projected side-effects from the second course would affect that decision. This information is vitally important to help develop a trial about re-irradiation in lung cancer as it will demonstrate if patients would accept a second course of radiotherapy, and, by accounting for patient concerns in the trial design, will make it more likely to recruit well. This study will perform telephone interviews with patients five weeks after completing a course of radical radiotherapy for lung cancer at the Beatson Cancer Centre. We expect to interview 16-30 patients. This study will run over the course of 1 year. This research is funded by the Beatson Cancer Charity and The University of Glasgow.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral cisplatin, delivered during a single bronchoscopy with cone-beam CT confirmation, in a dose escalation protocol DESIGN: 3+3 dose escalation.
This is a non-interventional, multi-country, multicentre, retrospective study designed to determine the treatment patterns and associated survival rate in patients with primary stage IA to IIIB resectable NSCLC diagnosed between 01 January 2013 and 31 December 2017 and followed until at least 31 December 2020 The main objective of this study is to describe the treatment patterns and determine their associated 3-year survival rate according to clinical and pathologic staging in patients with resectable early-stage (IA to IIIB as per AJCC seventh edition) NSCLC.
Pneumonectomy is a high-risk surgical procedure, causing impaired respiratory functions and exercise intolerance. It is associated with decreased physical activity, quality of life and increased fatigue. The primary aim of the study is to compare the exercise capacity and respiratory functions of lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy and healthy individuals. The secondary aim of the study is to compare peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, physical activity level, shortness of breath, fatigue and quality of life of lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy and healthy individuals.
Oncological treatment of patients with disseminated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is depending on the status of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), so called oncodrivers. These can be measured in pleural fluid, but the prevalence is uncertain. In a prospective study, the research team aim to measure PD-L1, ALK and EGFR in patients with pleural fluid cytology positive for NSCLC to report the prevalence. Also, the study will investigate if the chance of obtaining oncodriver status is depending on the volume analysed and how the lack of oncodrivers influence the following work-up.
This study is an interventional study intended to assess the impact of a centralized outreach intervention that includes shared decision-making about lung cancer screening (LCS) in LCS-eligible primary care patients. The study's goal is to increase LCS rates compared to usual care and thus reduce lung cancer deaths.
This phase III trial compares the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery to standard of care memantine and whole brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus (the memory zone of the brain) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Whole brain radiation therapy delivers a low dose of radiation to the entire brain including the normal brain tissue. Hippocampal avoidance during whole-brain radiation therapy (HA-WBRT) decreases the amount of radiation that is delivered to the hippocampus which is a brain structure that is important for memory. The drug, memantine, is also often given with whole brain radiotherapy because it may decrease the risk of side effects related to thinking and memory. Stereotactic radiosurgery may decrease side effects related to memory and thinking compared to standard of care HA-WBRT plus memantine.
