Filter by:DCE-CT of thoracic tumors as an early biomarker for treatment monitoring in comparison with morphologic criteria. 1. Rationale of the clinical investigation For the evaluation of response to anti-tumoral therapy in thoracic tumors, merely morphologic information is often not sufficient for early response evaluation as dimensions of the oncologic lesions are not changing during the first weeks of treatment. To be able to measure functional changes, dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (DCE-CT) seems promising as a biomarker for early therapy monitoring. Having an early biomarker for treatment monitoring will allow to increase patients' prognosis if a non-responder is earlier detected, will optimize the use of expensive treatments, is expected to shorten hospitalization and shorten absence at work, and to decrease side-effects of (adjuvant) medication. 2. Objective of the study 2.1.Primary objectives The primary objective is to investigate the potential of functional imaging (i.e. DCE-CT), as analyzed by the Hyperfusion analytic software, as an early biomarker for the evaluation of therapy response in primary thoracic malignancy. 2.2.Secondary objectives There are two secondary objectives: 1. To define internal system parameters and perfusion parameter thresholds that maximize the accuracy of the outcomes and to define the correct category (PD, SD, PR, CR); and 2. To compare the predicted categorization to the assessed RECIST1.1 categorization. 3. Endpoints 3.1.Primary Endpoint The primary endpoint is to directly compare the biomarker of the HF analysis software at week 3 (+- 1 week) and week 8 (+- 3 weeks) with the eventually reported Progression-Free Survival (PFS) intervals and Overall Survival (OS) in this study. PFS intervals are determined by the clinician and are based on RECIST1.1 and additional clinical and biochemical progression markers. The focus will be on evaluating the accuracy of the prediction as well as how early the prediction was correct. 3.2.Secondary Endpoints There are two secondary endpoints corresponding to the two secondary objectives. 1. The internal parameters for the HF biomarker, e.g. magnitude of the Ktrans decrease, and the change in volume of unhealthy tissue, need to be determined to define the classification (PD, SD, PR and CR) by the HF analysis software. These parameters are optimized to optimally predict the classification according to PFS and OS. This will be done by splitting the data into a train and test set to ensure generalization. 2. The classification of the HF analysis software will be compared to the purely morphological classification by RECIST1.1 to identify correlation. Furthermore, some cases will be investigated where the HF analysis performs noticeably better or worse than RECIST1.1 in predicting PFS and OS. Finally, the difference in time to the first correct prediction is compared between HF and RECIST1.1. 4.Study Design This prospective study is part of the clinical β-phase. We aim to test pre-release versions of the Hyperfusion.ai software under real-world working conditions in a hospital (clinical) setting. It is important to note, though, that the results of the software analysis will not be used by interpreting physicians to alter clinical judgement during the course of the clinical trial. A prospective study including 100 inoperable patients in UZ Gent suffering from primary thoracic malignancy (≥15mm diameter) will be conducted. For this study, in total 3 CT scan examinations of the thorax will be performed (a venous CT examination of the thorax in combination with a DCE-CT scan of the tumoral region). All patients will be recruited from the pulmonology department. Oncologic patients are clinically referred with certain intervals for a clinically indicated CT scan (being part of standard care). In the study, two clinical CT examinations that are performed standard of care (baseline CT examination and CT examination at week 8 (+- 3 weeks) after start of systemic therapy) will be executed by also adding a DCE-image of the lung adenocarcinoma to this examination. This DCE-image is performed during the waiting time before the venous/morphologic phase. Consequently, from a clinical point-of-view, the time to scan remains exactly the same. With regard to the contrast agent, an identical amount is injected as is the case in standard of care, but the contrast bolus is split in two parts - see also addendum with DCE protocol. In this study there is one additional CT-examination (DCE-scan of the thoracic malignancy in combination with venous CT scan of the thorax) at week 3 (± 1 week).
A prospective, single center, single arm, phase II clinical trial of Pyrotinib combined with pemetrexed plus carboplatin in the first-line treatment of patients with HER2 mutant or amplified recurrent / metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
This study is a multicenter, ambispective observational study that will collect data focusing on patients with lung cancers in Canada. The study will begin with ALK, EGFR, ROS1, ERBB2 (HER2), exon 20 EGFR mutation, MET and BRAF patients, with the goal of expanding into other rare molecular alterations within year 2
This phase II trial studies the effect of a digital application (app), BNT001, on cognitive-behavioral stress management in patients with stage I-III breast or lung cancer. The app is designed for cancer patients to treat anxiety and depressive symptoms related to their cancer diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to develop and refine procedures for eligibility screening, suicide risk assessment, and delivery of the app prior to the launch of a phase III randomized trial. The impact of the app in managing stress and improving quality of life and mood is a secondary aim.
The investigators will detect circulating tumor DNA in blood of patients with lung metastases from colorectal cancer using NGS technology and intend to use it for predicting the outcome of local treatment (surgery or radiation) and recurrence of lung metastases.
To explore the non-inferiority of a cfDNA amplicon-based liquid biopsy technology vs. standard of care tissue biopsy-based NGS in detecting guideline- recommended biomarkers in patients with metastatic non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), amongst other endpoints. To explore the non-inferiority of cfDNA-based LiquidHALLMARK test vs. cfDNA-based liquid biopsy competitor, both qualitatively and quantitatively for actionable mutation (percentage of allele frequency) profile results in a population of subjects who have at least one actionable mutation detected by tissue biopsy.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with BMS-986012 in combination with carboplatin, etoposide, and nivolumab will have acceptable safety and tolerability and will improve progression-free survival compared with carboplatin, etoposide, and nivolumab alone in newly diagnosed participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with high morbidity and mortality. Several PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its overall effective population is only 20%, and even in studies of enriched populations (such as PD-L1 ≥ 50%), its single-drug effective rate is only about 40%. Therefore, this study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies and chemotherapy in combination with bronchoscopy-assisted lnterventional therapy in the first-line treatment of advanced central non-small cell lung cancer. We conducted a randomized controlled, prospective clinical trial to examine the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies, chemotherapy, in combination with bronchoscopy-assisted interventional therapy vs anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody in combination with chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of patients with advanced central NSCLC.
Patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer or non-small cell lung cancer with liver metastasis treated with Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization along with Pembrolizumab.
This phase II trial studies the effect of niraparib and dostarlimab in treating small cell lung cancer and other high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas. Niraparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as dostarlimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving niraparib and dostarlimab may help to control the diseases.
